Center to Utilize Company's Proprietary Flash Joule Heating (FJH) Technology for Recovery of Critical, Precious and Base Metals from Electronic Waste and Other High-Value Feedstocks
HOUSTON, March 10, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Metallium Ltd. (ASX: MTM; OTCQX: MTMCF; OTCQX ADR: MTLMY) announced that progress at its Gator Point Technology Campus in Chambers County, Texas is rapidly advancing. This facility will be the first for the company in the US that will utilize its proprietary Flash Joule Heating (FJH) technology to recover critical, precious and base metals from electronic waste (printed circuit boards) and other high-value feedstocks.
The company acquired the plant less than 12 months ago and has undertaken substantial site rehabilitation, infrastructure upgrades and installation of processing equipment, transforming the facility into the Company's primary U.S. technology demonstration and early commercial processing hub. The company continues to advance the industrial scale-up of the plant, with the goal of three FJH reactors operating in parallel by June of this year.

"The progress achieved at our flagship Technology Campus in less than 12 months has been substantial," said Michael Walshe, Managing Director and CEO of Metallium. "The site has rapidly evolved from a mothballed facility into a technology campus supporting the industrial scale-up of our FJH platform. Parallel development, optimization and commissioning is progressing across the flowsheet, and the next major milestone will be demonstrating three FJH reactors operating in parallel. This milestone will validate the scalability of the technology and represent an important step toward our Stage-1 commercial configuration targeting approximately 8,000 tons of PCF feedstock per year."
