Refining

At US Assets Recovery, we understand value — both in our core principles and in the importance of maximizing the return on your precious metal assets. As a specialized recovery and refining company, we work closely with our clients to recover and refine a full range of metals, including platinum, palladium, rhodium, iridium, ruthenium, gold, and silver. USAR can return physical metal as element and alloy.  Elemental metal can be transferred to pool accounts globally.

Our Process
USAR employs advanced refining methods — including hydrometallurgical, pyrometallurgical, and electro-refining techniques — to achieve purities exceeding 99.95%. The specific process we use depends on the unique material composition of each incoming lot.
