Investor update summary
19 Jan, 2026Technology and market positioning
IONSolv™ platform enables selective, low-cost, and environmentally friendly recovery of critical minerals from e-waste, batteries, and mining intermediates, with ~98% recovery rates proven in lab trials.
The platform addresses supply chain risks by localizing high-value oxide production, reducing dependence on Asian processing, and supporting Western supply chain resilience.
Closed-loop process recycles reagents, lowers energy use, and achieves a 36% lower CAPEX compared to legacy methods.
Commercial progress and partnerships
Pilot plant commissioning is targeted for early 2026, with commercial validation and early revenues expected within 0-2 years.
Strategic partnerships include Colt Recycling, Livium, PEM Aachen, TNO, and Fraunhofer, supporting technology validation and market access.
Government grants and EU consortium participation have been secured to support pilot programs and technology benchmarking.
Market opportunity and revenue pathways
Addressable markets exceed $200 billion across e-waste, battery recycling, and mineral processing, with significant growth expected through 2035.
Revenue streams include gate fees, metal sales, and licensing/JVs, with high-value outputs such as strategic-grade oxides qualifying for incentives.
Early cash flow is anticipated from e-waste recovery, de-risking the business model and supporting scale-up.
