Company Description
Temas Resources Corp. (TMASF) is described as a technology-driven critical minerals company that combines proprietary metallurgical processing technologies with ownership of strategic mineral projects. The company is associated with multiple public listings, including the Canadian Securities Exchange (CSE:TMAS), the OTCQB market (OTCQB:TMASF), the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX:TIO), and the Frankfurt Stock Exchange (FRA:26P0). According to its public disclosures, Temas focuses on titanium, vanadium, iron and other critical and rare earth elements, with an emphasis on metal processing methods that aim to reduce environmental impact and operating costs.
Temas reports that it owns a suite of advanced green mineral processing technologies and a patented platform known as Regenerative Chloride Leach ("RCL"). Company materials state that this RCL technology is a hydrometallurgical platform designed for processing concentrates, whole ores, slags and tailings. It is described as applicable to critical metals, battery metals, platinum group minerals, precious and base metals, and rare earth elements. The company indicates that RCL is intended to operate at or near ambient temperatures with reagent recycling and a closed-loop design, and that internal pilot work has validated significant operating cost reductions for titanium dioxide (TiO₂) production compared with conventional processing.
Temas positions this RCL platform as the foundation of a technology licensing and partnership business. Public statements explain that the company seeks to license its intellectual property and enter into joint ventures and other partnerships with mining and materials companies globally. The goal, as described by Temas, is to enable third parties to adopt its processing methods for a range of complex polymetallic ores and mineralized systems, including those hosting titanium, vanadium, nickel and rare earth elements.
Alongside its technology portfolio, Temas reports that it owns 100% of two titanium-vanadium-iron projects in Québec, Canada: the La Blache and Lac Brûlé projects. Company disclosures describe La Blache as a vanadium titanomagnetite and titanium dioxide project with multiple deposits, including the Farrell-Taylor, Hervieux East, Hervieux West and Lac Schmoo areas. Temas has reported an inferred resource estimate for La Blache prepared under Canadian NI 43-101 standards and has referred to this as a foreign estimate under the JORC Code. The company has also noted that it has consolidated ownership of historic drill core and is undertaking drilling and re-assay programs aimed at refining geological models and supporting future resource classifications and feasibility-level studies.
The Lac Brûlé project is described as a titanium-vanadium-iron property with hemo-ilmenite mineralization and historic drilling that has identified high-grade titanium dioxide intervals. Temas states that both La Blache and Lac Brûlé are located in Québec and are proximal to infrastructure, and that these projects form part of a broader strategy to create a mine-to-market or mine-to-end-user titanium and critical minerals supply chain in North America. The company has also highlighted the strategic importance of titanium and other critical metals for aerospace, defence and clean-technology applications in its public communications.
Temas’ disclosures emphasize a dual-business model built around (1) proprietary processing innovation and intellectual property, and (2) strategic mineral ownership. The company portrays this combination as a way to support Western critical mineral supply chains by pairing feedstock from its Québec projects with its RCL technology, while also offering that technology to third parties through licensing and partnerships. Public materials also reference ongoing discussions with potential partners in regions such as Australia, Indonesia, North America and other jurisdictions for possible use of the RCL platform on various ore types.
In addition to its technology and project portfolio, Temas has reported several corporate developments. These include a dual listing on the ASX through CHESS Depositary Interests, the lodging of an ASX prospectus to raise capital for technology development and exploration, and the completion of an option agreement to acquire 100% of ORF Technologies Inc., the company that holds the RCL patents. Temas has also announced changes to its auditor to support its dual-listed reporting requirements and has engaged market-making and independent research firms in connection with its listings.
Recent exploration updates from Temas describe HQ diamond drilling campaigns at La Blache designed to expand and upgrade inferred resources, test additional targets such as Lac Schmoo, and obtain metallurgical samples for further RCL test work. The company has reported observations of mineralization that includes titanium, vanadium, iron, scandium and gallium in certain zones and has outlined plans for multi-phase drilling and re-assay programs of historic core. These activities are presented as steps toward future resource upgrades and technical studies, while the company has also issued cautionary statements regarding foreign resource estimates and the need for further work to meet specific reporting codes.
According to its public statements, Temas is headquartered in Vancouver, Canada, with an additional administrative and geotechnical office in Montréal, Canada. The company’s disclosures emphasize themes of reshoring Western metal production, strengthening Western critical-mineral independence, and pursuing low-carbon, lower-impact metal extraction approaches through its proprietary technologies and Québec-based projects.
Business Model and Operations
Temas describes its business model as combining intellectual property commercialisation with mineral exploration and development. On the technology side, the company holds a portfolio of RCL process patents and related green mineral processing technologies. It has indicated that it intends to derive value through licensing, joint ventures and other arrangements with third-party operators who wish to apply these methods to their own deposits or processing facilities.
On the resource side, Temas’ La Blache and Lac Brûlé projects in Québec are presented as core assets that can provide feedstock for its processing technologies and support a vertically integrated supply chain. Company materials describe ongoing drilling, resource modelling and metallurgical test work aimed at advancing these projects through exploration stages and economic assessments, while also generating data to refine and validate the RCL platform.
Industry Context
Temas situates its activities within the broader context of critical minerals and strategic metals supply. Its communications highlight demand for titanium, vanadium, rare earth elements and other critical metals, as well as policy and market interest in Western supply security and onshoring of metal processing. Within this context, the company presents its RCL technology and Québec projects as potential contributors to Western supply chains, particularly for titanium and associated critical elements.
Risk and Technical Disclosures
Across its public news releases, Temas includes standard cautionary language regarding forward-looking statements, technical estimates and foreign resource classifications. The company notes that certain resource estimates for La Blache are foreign estimates under ASX listing rules and not reported in accordance with the JORC Code 2012, and that further work would be required to reclassify them under that code. It also states that cost reduction and recovery performance figures for the RCL platform are based on internal pilot-scale studies and that additional independent verification and feasibility-level studies are required.
Summary
In summary, Temas Resources Corp. presents itself as a critical metals and mineral processing company that integrates patented hydrometallurgical technology with ownership of titanium-vanadium-iron projects in Québec. Through its RCL platform and its La Blache and Lac Brûlé projects, the company aims, according to its disclosures, to advance a model that combines technology licensing, project development and potential mine-to-market supply for titanium and other critical minerals in Western markets.
