DISA Technologies, Inc. is a science and hardware company developing mineral-processing technology for mining and resource operators. Its patented DISA Tech™ platform uses High-Pressure Slurry Ablation to liberate valuable minerals through high-velocity slurry collisions, with the aim of reducing energy use and limiting the fines and slimes associated with conventional grinding. The company’s modular systems are designed for deployment across active ore bodies, stockpiles, tailings, and legacy uranium sites, supporting improved downstream concentration through processes such as flotation and leaching while combining resource recovery with onsite remediation.
