Jetti has advanced technology to recover copper from low-grade ores (ores with low copper content) that could not be effectively recovered by conventional techniques and were discarded. The Pinto Valley copper mine (Arizona, USA), which introduced the company's technology in advance, has been confirmed to be effective on a commercial scale. If the utilization of the company's technology becomes more widespread in the future, it will be possible to save resources by effectively utilizing the limited copper mines and to support a stable supply of copper.

So far, Mitsubishi Corporation has invested in Jetti in 2019 to support the commercialization of its technology. By making an additional investment and forming a business alliance, the cooperation system with Jetti will be further strengthened, and Jetti's technology will be promoted by utilizing Mitsubishi’s network in the copper resource industry and knowledge in the sales field. 

In addition, it will start joint studies so that Jetti's technology will be introduced to mines that are not able to effectively utilize resources due to low grades.
