Description: The process of crushing and grinding up chunks of ore is called comminution. It’s traditionally done mechanically to make mineral extraction easier but it comes at a steep cost. US start-up Eden GeoPower has developed a method that increases mineral yields while significantly reducing associated energy usage. This process is called electric reservoir stimulation (ERS).
