After decades in the precious metals industry, we started Core Scientific to do things differently. Too often, we saw a lack of transparency—hidden margins, unclear processes, and little explanation behind final payouts. We believed our clients deserved better. That’s why we invested in cutting-edge refining technology and built our 24/7 Customer Portal, giving clients real-time visibility into their material, verified weights, settlement reports, and clear results every step of the way. This commitment to accuracy and transparency has earned the trust of industry leaders across North America, including publicly traded companies and large group practices. We look forward to serving your business and helping you get the most out of your refining program.

Why our customers stay

ARIA FAMILY DENTAL

We used to send our scrap into one of the big vendors for credit on our account and were getting around $500.00 for a full jar. We heard about Core-Scientific and decided to give it a go. Fast, friendly and financially beneficial. We received more than double what we normally had gotten in the past.

MELISSA JURADO-GODARD

I can’t say enough of how good of a customer experience this was. By far the best rates my office has ever had from the scrap metals. They were expedite and made the whole transaction very easy. Highly recommend!!!

Quick and easy process. Informative online database that keeps you updated on status of your metal. I worked with James, he was very helpful! 5 stars from top to bottom!

We have used several metal refineries over the course of my career; Core Scientific has not only made the process super-simple, but their reimbursement is fantastic.
