ASX Release Published: 24 October 2025
QUARTERLY ACTIVITIES & CASHFLOW REPORT
Metallium Limited (“Metallium” or the “Company”) (ASX: MTM; OTCQX: MTMCF) is pleased to report another milestone
quarter, highlighted by continued progress at its U.S. commercialisation hub in Texas, the award of its first U.S.
Department of Defense (DoD) contract, the expansion of its multi-state footprint, and a series of strategic collaborations
that strengthen its position as a leading U.S. critical-metals recovery platform.
KEY HIGHLIGHTS
▪ U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) Contract Awarded – Gallium Recovery
Metallium’s USA subsidiary Flash Metals Texas secured a Phase I SBIR contract with the U.S. Department of
Defense to demonstrate domestic gallium recovery using FJH technology.
▪ Glencore Partnership – Feedstock & Offtake Framework
MOU executed with Glencore to supply e-scrap and purchase up to 75% of Stage-1 output from the Texas plant.
▪ Rare Earth Element (REE) Breakthroughs – Ucore & Rice Collaborations
Binding agreement with Ucore to integrate FJH with RapidSX™ separation for U.S.-based REE refining; expanded
Rice University program targeting direct REE separation.
▪ U.S. Footprint Expands
Exclusive options secured over fully-permitted sites in Massachusetts and Virginia, establishing Metallium’s first
three-state network.
▪ Texas Plant Progress – On Track for Commissioning Q4 CY25
Key equipment ordered, site upgrades advancing, and commissioning feedstock (60 t PCB scrap) secured.
▪ Breakthrough REE Test Results from Meteoric MOU
Single-flash FJH process removed 80%+ of La/Ce and enriched magnet REEs in MREC feedstock, paving the way
for a solvent-free, chloride-based Western refining route.
▪ Market Recognition & Index Inclusion
Metallium added to the S&P/ASX All Ordinaries Index effective September 2025.
MTM Managing Director & CEO, Michael Walshe, commented: “The September quarter marked a major turning point as
Metallium formally entered the U.S. Department of Defense system, expanded our national footprint, and partnered with
Glencore and Ucore, all while advancing construction of our Texas facility toward year-end commissioning.
“These milestones demonstrate that Metallium is now a fully funded, execution-ready industrial platform at the heart of the
U.S. critical-metals ecosystem. With first revenues on the horizon and a growing pipeline of strategic partners, we’re well
positioned to deliver meaningful scale and long-term value for shareholders.
“Our collaboration with Glencore and Ucore establishes Metallium at the centre of a new, non-Chinese rare-earth and e-
waste refining network. These partnerships validate both the technical and commercial strength of our Flash Joule Heating
process and open new channels across upstream supply, downstream offtake, and federal funding.
“In parallel, our engagement with the U.S. Government and Department of Defense continues to accelerate. The award of
our first SBIR contract is more than a funding milestone, it represents formal recognition of Metallium’s role in rebuilding
resilient, onshore processing capability for critical materials essential to defense, energy and advanced manufacturing”.
For the period ending 30 September 2025

ASX: MTM | OTCQX: MTMCF
1. Technology and Engineering Development
Significant engineering and procurement progress was achieved at Metallium’s first commercial production Flash Joule
Heating (FJH) facility in Chambers County, Texas.
• Orders placed for key pre-processing, handling, and pre-heating systems.
• Electrical upgrades, drainage works, and utility connections substantially complete.
• Consultant engineer appointed for plant integration and structural design.
• VaporPoint appointed for environmental compliance and air and water quality systems.
• 60 tonnes of high-grade PCB e-waste feedstock purchased for commissioning.
The project remains on schedule for commissioning in December 2025, with early site works de-risking the build phase
and confirming capacity for multi-line expansion.
Metallium continues to refine its commercial FJH reactor architecture, with the validated design enabling throughput scaling
and module replication for Stage 2 expansion (target 16,000 t/y feed capacity).

FJH commercial plant & serve as a hub for ongoing R&D and future expansion
2. Strategic Partnerships
Glencore (MOU – Feedstock and Offtake)
Metallium executed an MOU with Glencore plc, one of the world’s largest recyclers of end-of-life electronics. The agreement
provides:
• E-scrap feedstock supply for Metallium’s Texas facility (up to 8,000 tpa).
• Technical assistance for feedstock assay and logistics.
• Offtake for up to 75% of refined products, excluding specialty metals (Ga, Ge, In, REEs).
The MOU validates Metallium’s technology and underpins Stage 1 supply and revenue readiness, with a binding agreement
targeted by 31 December 2025.

ASX: MTM | OTCQX: MTMCF
Ucore Rare Metals Inc. (Binding Collaboration)
A 12-month collaboration integrates Metallium’s FJH process with Ucore’s RapidSX™ separation technology to establish the
first U.S. end-to-end REE refining pathway. Each party processes the other’s feedstocks at existing facilities (Houston &
Louisiana), with results informing downstream economics and future joint-venture or licensing options.
Rice University (Research Collaboration)
Metallium expanded its long-standing partnership with Dr James Tour’s laboratory at Rice University to test direct REE
separation via FJH, potentially eliminating solvent extraction. Metallium funds US$379k over 12 months and retains first
rights to any resulting IP.
3. U.S. Government and Defense Engagement
Significant engineering and procurement progress was achieved at Metallium’s commercial production FJH facility in
Chambers County, Texas:
• Metallium formally entered the U.S. federal funding system through its Phase I SBIR contract with the Department
of Defense’s Defense Logistics Agency.
• The six-month program, executed by Flash Metals Texas with Rice University participation, focuses on gallium
recovery from semiconductor and LED waste. Successful completion will qualify the Company for Phase II (US$1
million) and Phase III (US$10 million+) opportunities.
• Appointments of Greg Bowman (Chief Strategy Officer, Siemens Government Technologies) and Travis Langster
(former U.S. Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense) to Metallium’s U.S. Advisory Board have deepened federal
and defense-sector access, complementing the Company’s technical and policy credentials.
4. Rare Earth Program and Collaborations
Metallium’s rare-earth initiative advanced significantly:
• FJH MREC testwork with Meteoric Resources confirmed >80% La/Ce rejection and >140% enrichment of magnet
REEs in a single unoptimised test.
• Ucore RapidSX™ integration expands this into a chloride-to-oxide refining chain entirely within the U.S.
• Rice University program pursuing direct REE separation positions Metallium to capture long-term leadership in
non-Chinese REE refining.
• Continued alignment with the U.S. Department of Energy’s US$1 billion critical-minerals initiatives.
5. Australia–U.S. Critical Metals - Government and Diplomatic Engagement
During the quarter, Metallium was requested by His Excellency The Hon Dr Kevin Rudd AC, Australia’s Ambassador to the
United States, to provide an update on the Company’s U.S. operations ahead of the October 2025 meeting between Prime
Minister Albanese and President Trump in Washington D.C. Metallium’s submission formed part of Australia’s strategic
engagement with the United States on critical minerals and rare earths, highlighting the Company’s major capital investment,
job creation, and planned expansion as its first Texas-based commercial facility advances toward commissioning.
Following the quarter, CEO Michael Walshe attended official events at the Australian Embassy in Washington D.C. during the
Prime Minister’s visit. The luncheon was attended by Prime Minister Albanese, Ambassador Rudd, U.S. Secretary of the
Interior Doug Burgum, senior U.S. administration officials, and industry leaders including representatives from BHP
Americas. The discussions centred on strengthening bilateral cooperation in critical minerals, industrial recycling, and clean-
technology supply chains. Metallium’s participation reinforced its position as a leading Australian-listed company
commercialising U.S.-developed technology to process critical metals domestically in America, directly aligned with the new
Australia–U.S. Critical Minerals Framework announced during the visit.

ASX: MTM | OTCQX: MTMCF
6. Corporate and Capital Markets
Metallium ended the quarter with a pro forma cash balance of ~A48 million, following completion of the A$50 million
institutional placement (Tranche 2 settled August 2025) and the exercise of options raising a further A$3.4 million.
Operating cash outflows for the quareter totalled A$2.15 million, which included approximately A$660k in staff-related costs
and ~A$1.33 million in administration and corporate expenses. In addition, the Company invested ~A$6.15 million into
project-related capital works and technology development activities during the quarter.
Metallium’s inclusion in the S&P/ASX All Ordinaries Index reflects growing investor recognition of its transformation into a
U.S.-focused industrial technology company delivering critical-metal recovery solutions across waste and mineral
feedstocks.
Metallium remains debt-free and well-capitalised to execute on its U.S. commercialisation strategy.
7. Mineral Assets
No exploration or field activities were undertaken across Metallium’s mineral projects during the quarter, as the Company
continues to focus capital and resources on the commercialisation of its Flash Joule Heating technology in the United States.
As previously reported, Metallium’s mineral portfolio includes:
• West Arunta Nb-REE Project (WA): Three exploration licences adjacent to WA1 and Encounter Resources. Access
is subject to heritage and statutory approvals, which remain in progress.
• Mukinbudin Nb-REE Project (WA): Two tenements located 250km northeast of Perth. No fieldwork undertaken;
strategic options under review.
• East Laverton REE & Base Metals Project (WA): Large 1,900km² holding with REE, gold and base metals potential.
Historical data under evaluation.
• Mt Monger Gold Project (WA): 80km² of tenements southeast of Kalgoorlie-Boulder. No fieldwork conducted; On
26 August 2025, Evergreen Lithium Ltd entered into a share-sale agreement to acquire Trumpeter Resources Pty
Ltd, which holds a non-binding indicative agreement with Metallium for the right to enter into an option over the
Mt Monger tenements. The proposed transaction provides a potential pathway for third-party advancement of the
project while preserving Metallium’s capital focus on its U.S. technology operations.
• Pomme REE-Nb Project (Québec, Canada): Option to acquire 100% of a mineralised carbonatite system adjacent
to Montviel. Option extended to October 2025; strategic review ongoing.
The Company continues to evaluate monetisation or partnering opportunities for these projects, consistent with its near-
term focus on commercial metals recovery in the U.S.
