Mining is moving fast. Water can’t be the thing that slows it down. Our Co-founder and COO, Shirley Zhong, is heading to Prospectors & Developers Association of Canada (PDAC) 2026 in Toronto to share how Xatoms helps mining operators tackle long-term pressure from emerging contaminants, hard-to-treat heavy metals, tightening regulations, and rising energy costs. At Xatoms, we’re focused on accelerating efficient, lower-energy, lower-OPEX water treatment built for real mining conditions. Our approach is different. We develop innovative treatment materials discovered through our own AI- and quantum-chemistry material discovery platform. We customize those materials to target specific contaminants (e.g. heavy metals) and your site constraints. This allows us to address newly emerging metal-related challenges while also creating long-term value that evolves alongside regulatory change, not just short-term fixes. We’re here to connect with mining operators and in-house R&D teams who are actively dealing with complex water challenges and looking for practical, forward-looking solutions. We also welcome conversations with investors interested in innovative water treatment technologies for the mining industry. If you’re curious about which heavy metals we’re targeting, how our materials perform in real systems, or how advanced treatment can reduce energy and operating costs, let’s connect and exchange notes. #PDAC2026 #MiningTech #EndeavorAtacama #OperationalTechnology #ChileGlobal
