Successful Completion of A$75 Million Strategic Capital Raising Cornerstoned by
U.S. Institutions
Metallium Limited (“Metallium” or the “Company”) (ASX: MTM; OTCQX: MTMCF; OTCQX ADR: MTLMY) is pleased to
announce the successful completion of a A$75 million strategic capital raising, led by U.S.-based institutional investors.
The capital raising was completed at an issue price of A$0.84 per share, representing an 8.7% discount to the Company’s
last closing price and an 8.8% discount to the 5-day volume-weighted average price (VWAP). The transaction materially
increases U.S. institutional participation on Metallium’s share register and reflects growing investor interest in U.S. critical
metals processing and technology platforms. A number of participating investors have dedicated mandates focused on
critical minerals, industrial onshoring, and U.S. supply-chain infrastructure.
KEY HIGHLIGHTS:
▪ A$75 million strategic capital raising completed, cornerstone-led by U.S. institutional investors with mandates
focused on critical minerals, recycling technologies, and domestic processing capacity
▪ Issue price of A$0.84 per share, representing an 8.7% discount to last close and a 8.8% discount to 5-day VWAP
▪ U.S. institutional participation increased following key U.S. operational and commercial milestones
▪ Capital raising timed to support U.S. commissioning, commercial scale-up, and capital markets positioning
▪ ADR program trading on OTCQX and capital structure aligned ahead of planned NASDAQ listing in Q3 2026
Strategic Context – High Demand from U.S. based Institutional Investors
Metallium received a high level of in-bound institutional interest in the Company following a series of recent operational
and commercial milestones, including:
• execution of a long-term e-scrap supply agreement with Glencore, underpinning U.S. feedstock security;
• commencement of commissioning activities at the Company’s Gator Point Technology Campus in Texas, marking
the transition from development to commercial operations; and
• the establishment and active trading of Metallium ADRs on the OTCQX earlier this month, providing U.S. investors
with direct exposure ahead of a planned NASDAQ listing in Q3 2026.
• Metallium’s FJH technology selected to support ElementUSA’s planned demonstration facility at Gramercy,
Louisiana, targeting the recovery of gallium, scandium and other critical metals from red mud, a nationally
significant feedstock source at the only operating alumina refinery of its kind in the United States; and
• Additional proof-of-concept testing underway across multiple critical-metal-rich feedstocks for a number of
strategically important prospective customers.
These milestones have driven strong engagement from U.S. institutions, including funds with dedicated mandates for critical
metals, recycling technologies, and domestic supply-chain solutions aligned with U.S. industrial and policy priorities.
Managing Director & CEO Michael Walshe commented: "This A$75 million U.S. strategic capital raise reflects strong
institutional support for Metallium’s U.S.-focussed strategy and our progress in moving from development into commercial
execution. With commissioning underway at Gator Point, a secured Glencore feedstock agreement, several collaborations
and testing across red mud, gallium and REEs, and our ADRs trading on OTCQX, we are seeing increasing interest from
U.S. investors seeking exposure to critical metals processing and enabling technologies. This capital provides further
support for the Company to fast track its development and commercial activities as we scale operations and progress
toward our planned NASDAQ listing in Q3 2026”.
