Metallium Stock Price, News & Analysis

Metallium (OTCQX: MTMCF) announced peer-reviewed Rice University results (Xu et al., published Sept 29, 2025) validating a Flash Joule Heating (FJH) + chlorination method to recover rare earths from end-of-life magnets. Metallium holds an exclusive license to commercialize this FJH application and intends to integrate the findings into its commercialization roadmap. The company said its Texas pilot plant is a key next step and is scheduled for commissioning in December 2025. The release emphasizes potential benefits: higher yields, lower costs, and zero acid or wastewater versus conventional processes.

Metallium (OTCQX: MTMCF) will add a second demonstration line at its first commercial Texas facility, with commissioning of the first FJH line scheduled for December 2025 and ramp-up into early 2026.

Key facts: a 5X scale-up from 360 tpa to 8,000 tpa PCB feed Stage 1 (≈1,600 tpa metal-rich char), Stage 2 expandable to 16,000 tpa, and a dedicated 350 tpa specialty line for REE, gallium and germanium feedstocks. All major systems ordered; civil/electrical upgrades and scrubber installation are underway.

Metallium (OTCQX: MTMCF) has signed a significant Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Glencore, one of the world's largest resource companies and e-waste recyclers. The agreement establishes a framework for collaboration in electronic scrap supply and metal offtake in the United States.

Under the MOU, Glencore will be a major feedstock supplier to Metallium's first commercial facility and will purchase up to 75% of Metallium's recycled products. The agreement includes technical assistance for feedstock assaying, while Metallium retains the right to market high-value niche products independently. Glencore's Horne Smelter, North America's largest e-waste processor, handles approximately 100,000 tons of e-waste annually.

The MOU is effective immediately and runs until year-end, with both parties working toward executing a definitive binding agreement by then.

Metallium (OTCQX:MTMCF) has entered into a binding Technology Collaboration Agreement with Ucore Rare Metals to create an integrated rare earth elements (REE) processing solution in the United States. The collaboration combines Metallium's Flash Joule Heating (FJH) technology for feedstock upgrading with Ucore's RapidSX™ separation technology, which is being developed with an $18.4 million U.S. government grant.

The partnership aims to establish a complete feedstock-to-oxide refining pathway, addressing the critical need for REE supply chain independence from China, which currently controls 85% of global rare earth refining capacity. The integration will take place at facilities in Houston and Louisiana, with commercial terms to be determined following immediate testwork.

Metallium's Texas demonstration plant remains on schedule to begin processing e-waste in early 2026, while Ucore continues developing its Strategic Metals Complex in Louisiana.

Metallium (OTCQX: MTMCF), a critical minerals extraction company, has appointed Travis Langster, former U.S. Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense, to the Advisory Board of its U.S. subsidiary Flash Metals USA. This strategic appointment strengthens the company's position in commercializing its Flash Joule Heating (FJH) technology.

Langster brings extensive experience in defense, aerospace, and semiconductor industries, having led efforts to modernize the U.S. defense industrial base and develop the DoD's Commercial Space Integration Strategy. The appointment follows the recent addition of Greg Bowman to the Advisory Board, as Metallium advances its first commercial plant near Houston with options for facilities in Massachusetts and Virginia.

Metallium (OTCQX: MTMCF) has secured its first Department of Defense SBIR contract through its subsidiary Flash Metals USA. The A$100,000 Phase I contract focuses on applying the company's Flash Joule Heating technology to recover gallium and other valuable metals from LED scrap and waste streams.

The six-month project will be executed in partnership with Rice University's Tour Group. Upon successful completion, the company plans to apply for Phase II funding of up to US$1 million for pilot-scale deployment at their Chambers County, Texas site, followed by Phase III commercial implementation.

This initiative aims to establish domestic gallium recovery capabilities, addressing U.S. national security priorities by reducing dependence on foreign supply chains for critical materials essential in defense, semiconductors, and communications.

Metallium (OTCQX: MTMCF) announced an expanded research collaboration with Rice University to enhance its Flash Joule Heating (FJH) technology's capabilities in rare earth elements (REE) separation. The collaboration aims to develop direct separation of individual REEs, potentially reducing or eliminating the need for traditional solvent extraction (SX) processes.

The company's FJH technology currently provides a more efficient alternative to conventional sulphuric-acid circuits, producing SX-compatible intermediates. This development is particularly significant as over 90% of REE separation capacity is concentrated in China, with recent export restrictions affecting global automotive production.

Metallium has secured its first commercial site in Texas through Flash Metals USA Inc., with plans for additional permitted sites in Massachusetts and Virginia. The company focuses on recovering critical and precious metals from various feedstocks, including refinery waste, scrap, e-waste, and monazite.

Metallium (OTCQX: MTMCF) has secured exclusive lease options for two additional U.S. sites in Massachusetts and Virginia for electronic waste processing, expanding beyond its inaugural Texas facility. The new sites are located at Mid-City Scrap's metals campus in Westport, MA and Recycle Management LLC's facility in Harrisonburg, VA.

Both locations are fully permitted for industrial and e-waste processing at State and Federal levels, potentially accelerating deployment timelines. The sites are strategically positioned within existing scrap yards that process over 20,000 tons of metal waste monthly. The Virginia facility's proximity to the Northern Virginia data center corridor offers access to valuable hyperscale and telecom e-waste streams.

The company's Texas flagship technology campus remains on schedule for commissioning by end-2025, utilizing Metallium's patented Flash Joule Heating (FJH) technology for recovering critical and precious metals from e-waste.

Metallium (OTCQX: MTMCF) has responded to the recently announced $500-million partnership between MP Materials and Apple for recycling rare earth magnets in the United States. CEO Michael Walshe emphasized that this partnership validates the company's strategic direction in building a domestic rare earth supply chain.

The company highlighted several key aspects: strengthening U.S. Department of Defense support providing long-term floor pricing, the emergence of recycling as a core supply stream, and Metallium's complementary role in the supply chain through its patented Flash Joule Heating technology. This innovative process recovers valuable elements including NdPr, DyTb, Gallium, Germanium, Indium, and Gold from various feedstocks while removing low-value elements.
