- Technology Minerals PLC is a United Kingdom-based natural resources and circular economy company engaged in the exploration, development, and industrial recycling of critical battery metals required for the global energy transition and electric mobility sectors. Founded in 2021 and headquartered in London, United Kingdom, the company operates an integrated business model spanning upstream exploration assets and downstream battery recycling infrastructure. Technology Minerals develops a diversified portfolio of mineral exploration projects targeting essential cathode materials across multiple international jurisdictions; the Asturmet Project in Asturias, Spain, targeting cobalt, nickel, and copper; the Blackbird Creek and Emperor Projects in Idaho, United States, exploring cobalt and copper mineralization; the Leinster Lithium Project in Ireland, targeting spodumene pegmatites and lithium mineralization; and nickel-cobalt exploration concessions in Cameroon. Through its strategic interest in Recyclus Group Ltd, the company provides industrial-scale, closed-loop battery recycling services and advanced material recovery solutions; automated shredding and processing of spent lithium-ion battery chemistries, including Lithium Nickel Manganese Cobalt Oxide (NMC), Lithium Iron Phosphate (LFP), Lithium Cobalt Oxide (LCO), and Lithium Manganese Oxide (LMO), at its fully permitted facility in Wolverhampton; production and extraction of high-grade black mass containing concentrated lithium, nickel, cobalt, and manganese for reintegration into the battery supply chain; automated processing of automotive and industrial lead-acid batteries at its specialized facility in Tipton to recover refined lead, heavy plastics, and sodium sulfate; hazardous battery logistics, collection, and ADR-compliant transport services; and research and engineering initiatives, including the ReCAM system, designed to synthesize recovered black mass into cathode active materials. Technology Minerals serves original equipment manufacturers (OEMs), automotive manufacturers, battery producers, waste management operators, and industrial clients across the United Kingdom, Europe, and North America. In recent developments, the company transitioned its Wolverhampton lithium-ion recycling plant to commercial operations following the receipt of its full Environment Agency operating permit and commenced continuous production runs to fulfill commercial black mass supply contracts; established strategic battery collection and recycling partnerships with national waste management and automotive service providers, including Slicker Recycling and major motoring organizations; completed corporate financing rounds through equity placements and convertible loan facilities to fund processing capacity expansions and working capital; and restructured its corporate expansion strategy regarding its associate Recyclus Group Ltd, pausing a proposed reverse takeover acquisition in late 2024 in response to regulatory and market conditions while maintaining its 48.35% equity holding and active operational alignment.
