Summary
Metallium Limited has successfully commenced the commissioning of its Texas Technology Campus, utilizing its proprietary Flash Joule Heating (FJH) technology. This significant milestone marks the start of operations at the company's first U.S. commercial processing hub, designed for recovering high-value metals from electronic waste, particularly printed circuit board (PCB) feedstocks. The facility has completed the commissioning of a three-crucible FJH demonstration line, which is now operational. Metallium plans to expand its operations to process up to 8,000 tonnes of PCB feedstocks annually by Q3 2026 and is advancing plans for the introduction of additional processing lines for gallium and germanium. The company is also negotiating long-term feedstock supply agreements to support its operations.
