Metallium (MTLMY, MTMCF) announced that its U.S. subsidiary Flash Metals USA signed a non-binding critical-metals commercialization framework with Traxys North America. The memorandum runs through November 2027 and combines Metallium's Flash Joule Heating processing platform with Traxys' commercial capabilities to evaluate U.S. supply-chain opportunities.
The immediate focus is to identify priority feedstocks and products, assess processing economics, and negotiate supply, offtake and financing terms. Offtake arrangements concern purchases of processed output. Selected transactions may advance as they become technically and commercially viable. Metallium plans to match feedstocks with product specifications and customer requirements. Commercial deployment remains subject to technical performance, scale-up, product qualification, approvals and funding.
Metallium (MTLMY, MTMCF) completed a 12-hour multi-unit Flash Joule Heating campaign using catalytic converter feedstock containing platinum-group metals.
The third-quarter 2026 campaign at its Texas Technology Campus used three reactors operating with chlorine, moving from earlier inert commissioning into reactive processing. The campaign was designed to generate operating and metal-processing data on feedstock behavior and interactions between process variables under chlorination conditions. Metallium expects to produce saleable metal-bearing products, including metal chlorides and intermediate forms, before a full-scale commercial launch next year.
Metallium (ASX: MTM, OTCQX: MTMCF, MTMLY) reported successful testing of its proprietary Flash Joule Heating (FJH) technology across multiple critical metal feedstocks, including rare earth ores, germanium-bearing wastes, spent catalytic converters and red mud/gallium streams.
The company converted unbeneficiated rare earth ore with about 12% TREO into >83 wt% mixed REE chloride, with over 4x NdPr enrichment. Germanium was enriched up to 280x from zinc smelter waste, 240x from semiconductor waste and 35x from defense-related waste. Testing on catalytic converters produced a >60% purity PGM-rich product in a single unoptimized cycle, while red mud tests removed ~99% iron and 94% silicon, retained ~95% aluminum and concentrated gallium. All programs were initiated by industry participants, with commercial discussions underway.
Metallium (ASX: MTM, OTCQX: MTMCF, ADR: MTLMY) reported substantial operational progress for the quarter ending June 30, 2026, centered on its patented Flash Joule Heating (FJH) platform for recovering precious and critical metals from e-waste and certain mining wastes.
The company stated it has substantially de-risked the FJH platform, validated a modular scale-up strategy, and shifted focus to optimization, scaling and commercialization. Metallium signed binding contracts securing 4,000 tpa of printed circuit board feedstock, about 50% of its Stage 1 capacity of 8,000 tpa, and its fully owned Texas plant (8,000 tpa nameplate) continues to meet milestones. The company ended the quarter with approximately A$65 million in cash and is progressing toward a potential NASDAQ uplist as its PCAOB audit advances.
Metallium (OTCQX:MTLMY) reported the successful completion of its first multi-unit Flash Joule Heating (FJH) campaign, running three units concurrently at its Texas technology facility.
The campaign achieved 83% availability and about 100% utilization during active operation and, according to Metallium, delivered early evidence supporting the scalability of its low-carbon FJH platform for larger-scale deployment.
Metallium’s patented FJH technology targets recovery of critical and precious metals, including gallium, germanium, antimony, rare earths and gold, from feedstocks such as refinery scrap, e-waste and monazite. Its first commercial site is in Texas, operated by wholly owned subsidiary Flash Metals USA.
Metallium (OTCQX-ADR: MTLMY) outlined its patented Flash Joule Heating (FJH) metals-processing technology at the Canaccord Genuity Global Metals and Mining Conference in Nevada. The company highlighted commercialization at its Gator Point Technology Campus in Texas, plans to pursue a NASDAQ uplist in 2026, and a Phase II Department of War grant to recover gallium and germanium from e-waste.
Metallium is targeting two verticals: urban mining/recycling of high-grade waste and mineral processing of rare earth, lithium and other critical metal streams.
Metallium (OTCQX: MTLMY) announced that its U.S. affiliate Flash Metals Texas received a million-dollar Phase II SBIR contract from the U.S. Department of War via the Defense Logistics Agency. The 12‑month project advances Flash Joule Heating technology to recover gallium and germanium and other high-value metals from electronic waste.
Metallium (OTCQX: MTLMY) reported a successful 12-hour continuous campaign of its single Flash Joule Heating (FJH) reactor at the Gator Point Technology Campus in Texas. The run validated operational stability, repeatability and control of its Generation-1 automation systems ahead of planned multi-reactor deployment.
The company is commercializing FJH as a low-carbon, high-efficiency e-waste processing platform to recover critical and precious metals. The campaign also generated operating data and early optimization insights to support future parallel-reactor scale-up.
Metallium (OTCQX: MTLMY) announced binding contracts that now cover 50% (4,000 tpa) of its 8,000 ton per annum Stage‑1 PCB feedstock target, including a binding supply agreement with Glencore for up to 2,400 tpa. The company is commissioning its Texas Technology Campus with multi‑reactor Flash Joule Heating installation and testing.
Management said it targets a contracted base of ~70% of Stage‑1 while retaining ~30% spot exposure to benchmark pricing and maintain sourcing flexibility as operations scale.
Metallium (OTCQX: MTLMY) announced Flash Metals Texas completed Phase I of a U.S. Department of War SBIR via DLA, achieving or exceeding all technical milestones.
The program recovered gallium from semiconductor and e-waste using Metallium's Flash Joule Heating technology and finished in six months, half the typical SBIR Phase I timeline.
