• Successful 12-hour continuous operation of commercial-scale FJH reactor
• Validated reactor stability, automation systems, and operating procedures
• Potential for throughput uplift versus original design assumptions

Metallium Limited has announced the successful completion of a 12-hour continuous campaign of its commercial-scale Flash Joule Heating (FJH) reactor at its Gator Point Technology Campus in Texas. The campaign demonstrated stable, repeatable, and controlled operation of the reactor, validating key process assumptions, reactor integrity, automation systems, and operating procedures ahead of planned multi-reactor deployment. The results materially reduce technical and operational scale-up risk as Metallium advances toward its next major milestone of multiple FJH reactors operating simultaneously in parallel. Initial testing indicates the potential for reactor throughput uplift versus original internal design assumptions, providing important early insights into reactor performance and future plant configuration opportunities. The campaign also generated valuable operating data and early optimisation insights across reactor throughput, feed handling, instrumentation, control systems, and broader plant integration activities, supporting ongoing technology refinement and future reactor development. Metallium's immediate focus remains on progressing from extended-duration single-reactor operations toward sustained multi-reactor deployment and broader throughput expansion activities, including demonstration of multiple FJH reactors operating in parallel, extended-duration single and multi-reactor campaigns, and continued reactor engineering refinement and process optimisation.

Metallium continues to target demonstration of its Stage-1 commercial-scale e-waste processing capacity during the fourth quarter of calendar year 2026.
