Toronto Stock Exchange (TSX)-listed Talon Metals has selected Circulor’s traceability solution to track responsibly sourced domestic nickel and other minerals.
This solution is expected to ensure full traceability of mineral production throughout supply chains from the mine to recycling.
It is designed to ensure traceability of critical mineral supplies through complex industrial supply chains, especially for electric vehicle (EV) battery and defence-related manufacturing.
The solution provides verifiable information on the provenance, production standards and embedded CO₂ intensity of minerals.
This collaboration allows Talon to trace its nickel and copper concentrates as well as recovered by-products such as iron compounds for lithium-iron phosphate batteries, platinum group metals, cobalt and gold.
Talon CEO Henri van Rooyen said: “Deploying Circulor’s technology fulfils Talon’s commitment to produce nickel and other critical minerals at the highest possible standards for labour rights, environmental protection and indigenous participation in clean energy projects.

“Using Circulor’s technology will ensure that our customers and in turn their customers have a verifiable record that the nickel in their battery was produced at high standards in the US.”
By tracing minerals produced to high standards, the partnership will enable battery makers and EV manufacturers to align their sourcing with their environmental, social and governance commitments and comply with various regulations including the US Inflation Reduction Act, the EU’s Battery Regulation and the Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism.
Talon chief external affairs officer and climate strategy head Todd Malan said: “Tracing minerals produced today will ensure that their provenance, production standards and CO₂ intensity can be traced all the way to the recycling stage and then accounted for in many future uses.”
