Exterra Technologies is a Quebec-based mineral processing technology company. It develops next-generation processing technologies that help miners bring critical minerals to market faster, at lower cost, and with a smaller environmental footprint. Its platform is anchored in ARC™ (Acid Regeneration Cycle), a proprietary technology that recycles acids and bases used to extract metals from ore in a closed loop on site, around which it builds full processing flowsheets adapted to each commodity and ore type.
