Metallium Limited

Metallium Limited is an Australian industrial technology company with a dual focus on clean metallurgy, metal recycling, and mineral exploration. Headquartered in Subiaco, Western Australia, the company aims to innovate and disrupt traditional methods of metal recovery from both primary ore sources and various waste materials.

The company's core business revolves around its patented Flash Joule Heating (FJH) technology, exclusively licensed from Rice University. This advanced electro-thermal process enables the low-carbon, high-efficiency extraction of critical and precious metals, including rare earth elements, gallium, germanium, gold, copper, silver, nickel, cobalt, and lithium. These metals are recovered from diverse feedstocks such as e-waste, lithium-ion batteries, bauxite residue, coal fly ash, and mineral ores. Additionally, Metallium Limited holds exploration assets for niobium, rare earth elements, gold, and base metals in Western Australia and Québec, Canada.

Metallium Limited is actively transitioning its FJH technology from pilot-scale to commercial-scale operations. Its U.S. subsidiary, Flash Metals USA Inc., located in Houston, Texas, is advancing efforts to recover critical metals and has begun securing revenue-generating contracts. Recent notable developments include successful testing of its FJH technology on various critical elements and the completion of multi-unit FJH operations. The company is strategically positioned to address global supply chain vulnerabilities for critical materials essential to industries such as semiconductors, advanced electronics, and defense.
