Our Difference
America needs self-sustaining solutions to
power cleaner energy. We’re answering the call.
National Security
Reliable and ethically sourced battery metals are essential for the future of the United States to reduce its reliance on metals from conflict zones and other countries.
Our country needs these metals to manufacture lithium-ion batteries for powering electric vehicles and energy storage systems. That’s why we’re working to create a sustainable global supply chain for battery metals.
Abundant Supply
Our mine holds an estimated 114 million pounds of recoverable cobalt, likely making it the largest such reserve in North America; 194 million pounds of recoverable copper; and 174 million pounds of recoverable nickel.
This excludes the battery recycling division that will handle lithium. We’re committed to reliable, on-time delivery of clean and ethically produced cobalt, nickel, copper and lithium that will support the advancement of America’s renewable energy resources.
Community
Grit means growth
We aim to boost economic vitality in Southeast Missouri by creating high paying jobs, partnering with local businesses, educational institutions, and giving back to our local community.
Environmental
We implement technologies and processes that minimize the impact on the environment, such as pollution prevention measures, resource recovery activities, and other environmental best practices.
Diverting end-of-life batteries from landfill to sustainable resource recovery.
Protecting land, air, and water resources.
Collaborating across the supply chain to implement the highest environmental standards.
Maintaining the integrity of our facilities to avoid environmental incidents.
