Described herein, in the preferred embodiment, is a leonardite-based polyurethane resin binder that may be used, among other applications, as a binder in combination with foundry aggregate, e.g., sand, for molding or casting metal parts. The binders described herein comprise a humic substance, preferably leonardite, combined with a polymerizable isocyanate, a polymerizable polyol, and a polymerization catalyst to make a polyurethane resin binder in situ in a foundry aggregate, such as sand.
