Green WO3 Portugal

Pioneering the sustainable recovery of strategic tungsten from legacy tailings.

We turn historical waste into critical resources for Europe's industrial autonomy.

About us

Stewards of Resources. Partners in Progress.
Driven by expertise, defined by responsibility. We are a team of innovators, engineers, and environmental specialists committed to ethical resource and environmental recovery.

Green WO3 Portugal was founded on a simple premise: waste from the past is the resource of the future. Our mission is to explore mining tailings assets through tailings reprocessing, ensuring economic viability without the footprint of new mining. We prioritize safety, community engagement, and transparent governance in every phase of our operation.

How we do it

Advanced Reprocessing. Minimal Footprint.
Transforming tailings into high-grade concentrate through innovative, low-impact technology.
Our process bypasses the need for new extraction. We utilize state-of-the-art liquefaction effects gravity separation and inverted chemical leaching technologies to recover tungsten from existing tailings storage facilities transforming it into APT (Ammonium Paratungstate) at our state of hte art polymettalic refinary located in Mértola, Alentejo .
Our differentials are better mass transfer, low solids to lixiviant (30-40%v.w.) ratio and reduce passivation layer formation.

Refinary

This method significantly reduces energy consumption, water usage, and land disturbance compared to primary mining.
 The indicators are:

CO2 emissions intensity
Greenhouse gas emissions index
Apparent consumption rates of ozone depleting substances
Intensity of the generation of municipal waste
Wastewater treatment rates

Environmental Restoration

This is the soul of our company! Our reason for being! Through the mining of tailings, low-grade ores, or industrial waste, we generate profit, and part of that profit is used for environmental remediation.

CRMA – EUROPE

Aligned with European Strategic Autonomy.
Fully compliant with the EU Critical Raw Materials Act.
We are a strategic asset for Europe’s green and digital transition.

The European Critical Raw Materials Act (CRMA) sets the framework for securing sustainable access to critical resources. Green WO3 Portugal is positioned as a key strategic project under this framework. By producing tungsten domestically from secondary sources, we help the EU meet its benchmarks for extraction and processing, reducing dependency on single-source imports.
