OpenGa supports the assessment of gallium recovery from Bayer-process liquor, a potential secondary source of gallium within existing alumina production. The framework combines process mass and energy balances, equipment sizing, capital and operating costs, carbon emissions and project financial analysis to evaluate the conditions under which domestic gallium production could become commercially viable.

Users can examine the effects of gallium concentration, recovery efficiency, processing requirements, electricity supply and policy incentives on the levelised cost of production and emissions intensity. The model also includes sensitivity and uncertainty analysis to identify the assumptions that most strongly influence project outcomes.

The copper tool helps users compare baseline and low-carbon copper supply pathways by integrating cost modelling, emissions accounting, processing assumptions, and logistics scenarios into a single decision framework. As critical minerals markets grow increasingly complex, early-stage capital decisions carry greater risk than ever before. Our tools, built on research in energy and minerals engineering, integrate cost, emissions, and compliance analysis into a single transparent decision framework - reducing risk and accelerating project readiness.
