What We Do - US Strategic Metals

It’s amazing what you can do with the
right technology, resources, and talent.

Recycling lithium-ion batteries or ‘urban mining’ is the critical pathway for a circular zero waste future.

Recycle

USSM sources a variety of recycled feedstocks from lithium-ion batteries to re-mined tailings waste.

These sources allow us to make battery grade cobalt and nickel sulfate, lithium carbonate and copper cathode, crucial metals to supporting the green energy revolution and America’s national defense.

Extract

It’s not a gold mine we’re sitting atop of but something bigger.

As North America’s only cobalt reserve with indigenous nickel and copper sources, we’re building a closed loop supply chain for reliable, traceable, conflict-free battery metals. And with a nearly 18-year mine life.

USSM employs cutting-edge technology to recycle critical metals for America’s growing green energy platforms.

Process

Our proprietary hydrometallurgical technology produces strategic, high-margin battery-grade cobalt and nickel sulfate, lithium carbonate and copper cathode.

We’re also developing a Precursor Cathode Active Material processing facility, finally closing the loop in the battery material supply chain.
