As we’ve been discussing today, the major news from Friday and over the weekend is the tightening of Chinese export controls on rare earths. This development highlights the strategic need for a self-reliant North American critical metals supply chain. Today, a small cap company provided an important development and is actively working to play a key role in advancing that goal.

Metallium Ltd. (OTCQX: MTMCF) announced significant progress at its first commercial facility in Chambers County, Texas, with plans to install a second demonstration line dedicated to processing rare earth elements (REEs) and semiconductor feedstocks. The plant, slated for commissioning in December 2025, will utilize Metallium’s patented Flash Joule Heating (FJH) technology to extract high-value and critical metals from diverse sources such as e-waste, mine tailings, magnet scrap, and mineral concentrates. The expansion represents a fivefold scale-up from the original design and includes core infrastructure allowing future capacity increases. This additional line will support demonstration programs with REE mining and refining partners, providing a secure, domestic processing pathway amid global disruptions in supply chains.

Metallium’s Texas facility will not only recover precious metals like gold and silver but also process gallium, germanium, and rare earths without relying on Chinese refining. With ramp-up expected through early 2026, the company is positioning itself at the forefront of a cleaner, faster, and scalable U.S.-based processing solution. By combining its proprietary FJH technology with partnerships such as Ucore Rare Metals, Metallium aims to play a central role in reshaping the critical metals ecosystem and strengthening allied independence in the global resource landscape.

Shares of MTMCF are currently up 18.95% at $0.8505 in mid-afternoon trading.
