Company Overview
Corporate Overview
MTM Critical Metals Limited is a dynamic company with a dual focus on mineral exploration and metal recovery technology development. We hold exploration assets prospective for niobium (Nb), rare earth elements (REE), and gold, strategically located in Western Australia and Québec.
Additionally, we possess exclusive licensing rights to the innovative Flash Joule Heating technology, a cutting-edge metal recovery and mineral processing method developed by esteemed researchers at Rice University, USA.
TECHNOLOGY:
Flash Joule Heating (FJH) is an advanced electro-thermal process that uses rapid, high-temperature electrical pulses to facilitate metal recovery from waste streams and mineral ores. This innovative technology has successfully extracted valuable metals such as gallium, indium, gold, copper, silver, rare earth elements (REEs), nickel, cobalt, and lithium from diverse materials, including lithium-ion batteries, e-waste, coal fly ash from power stations, and bauxite residue from alumina refining. FJH is particularly effective for processing ores with refractory characteristics. By rapidly heating materials, FJH enables both direct metal recovery and enhances their suitability for extraction using conventional acid leaching methods.
MINERAL EXPLORATION:
The Company holds over 4,500km2 of tenements in three prolific and highly prospective mineral regions in Western Australia and has an option to acquire, through an earn-in arrangement, a 100% interest in 2,400 ha of exploration rights in Québec, Canada. The East Laverton Projects is made up of a regionally extensive package of underexplored tenements prospective for REE, gold and base metals.
The Mt Monger Gold Project comprises an area containing known gold deposits and occurrences in the Mt Monger area, located ~70km SE of Kalgoorlie and immediately adjacent to the Randalls gold mill operated by Silver Lake Resources Limited.
The Ravensthorpe Project contains a package of tenements in the southern part of Western Australia between Esperance and Bremer Bay which are prospective for a range of minerals including REE, lithium, nickel and graphite.
The Pomme project in Québec is a known carbonatite intrusion that is enriched in REE and niobium (Nb) and is considered to be an extremely prospective exploration target adjacent to a world-class REE resource (Montviel deposit). Priority drilling targets have been identified in all project areas and the Company is well-funded to undertake effective exploration programs.
The Company has an experienced board and management team that is focused on discovery to increase value for shareholders.
