WHY WE
ARE HERE

Pilot operations in Halifax, Nova Scotia demonstrated technical feasibility and economic viability of our refining approach. Process validation confirmed our systems could handle variable feedstock compositions while maintaining consistent purity output—a critical capability for processing domestic minerals with complex geochemistry.

Facility scale refining infrastructure development in Halifax, Nova Scotia. This phase marks Syntra's evolution from technology developer to infrastructure developer.

Pilot validation confirmed that our hydrometallurgical refining at commercial scale is economically competitive with offshore alternatives when supply chain logistics, purity specifications, and strategic security are factored into total cost of ownership.

The Halifax facility is being designed for initial capacity of 1,000 TPA (tonnes per annum), establishing the operational foundation for our approach. The facility will process nickel, cobalt, and lithium-bearing feedstocks from North American mining operations, producing battery-grade refined materials that meet automotive OEM specifications.

With pilot validation complete and construction of SYNHUBc Halifax underway, Syntra is planning additional modular refining capacity across strategic North American locations, focusing on proximity to mining operations and battery manufacturing hubs.

Our modular infrastructure approach will enable rapid deployment with capital efficiency. Each facility is designed for feedstock flexibility, allowing us to process variable mineral compositions while maintaining consistent battery-grade output specifications.

The objective is clear: establish the refining infrastructure backbone that makes domestic critical minerals supply chains economically competitive and strategically secure. Syntra is building the midstream capacity North America's energy transition requires.
