A Two-Stage Development Platform

Structured across two coordinated entities for end-to-end critical metals processing from demonstration to commercial scale.

USCM Development Division

Demonstration & Process Development

A U.S.-based demonstration-scale facility designed to bridge the gap between laboratory testing and commercial production.

  • Demonstrates hydrometallurgical processing at industrially relevant scale
  • Generates process design data, operating experience, and design criteria
  • Unlocks derisked commercial deployment
  • Long-life flowsheet development platform supporting multiple clients

USCM Production Division

Commercial Processing

Commercial-scale refining complex designed to produce battery-grade materials for domestic supply chains.

  • Initial focus: High-Purity Manganese Sulfate Monohydrate (HPMSM)
  • Expansion to include cobalt, nickel, and lithium processing
  • Partnerships to integrate metal production into U.S.-sited CAM production
  • Secure, scalable, independent supply chain aligned with U.S. strategic priorities

Target Battery Metals Portfolio

Manganese

HPMSM for EV cathodes

Cobalt & Nickel

High-voltage battery chemistry

Lithium

Lithium hydroxide/carbonate

Our Processing Approach

Integrated workflow from feedstock to battery-grade materials

1

Feedstock Preparation

Receiving and processing of allied critical minerals feedstock

2

Hydromet Processing

Advanced aqueous processing at controlled conditions

3

Purification & Separation

Selective extraction and purification of target metals

4

Final Products

Battery-grade materials ready for cathode production

Why Our Approach Matters

Competitive advantages that drive domestic supply chain resilience

Environmental Leadership

Lower energy consumption, reduced water usage, and minimal waste generation compared to traditional pyrometallurgical processes.

Industrial Scale

Demonstration facility validates processes at commercially relevant scale, reducing technical and financial risk for production deployment.

Supply Chain Security

Domestic processing eliminates foreign dependency and ensures reliable access to critical materials for U.S. battery manufacturers.
