In a process for forming a bulk hydroprocessing catalyst by sulfiding a catalyst precursor made in a co-precipitation reaction, up to 60% of metal ions in at least one of the metal precursor feeds do not react to form catalyst precursor and end up in the supernatant as metal residuals. In the present disclosure, the metals can be recovered via ion-exchange, wherein an exchange resin is provided for a portion of the metal ions in the supernatant to be exchanged and bound onto the resin. The previously resin-bound metals can be subsequently recovered, or the effluent stream for the exchange resin column can also be recovered, forming at least a metal precursor feed which can be used in the co-precipitation reaction.
