New Frontier Minerals Limited (ASX: NFM) (“NFM” or “the Company”) is pleased to announce it has entered into a binding option and earn-in agreement providing NFM with the right to acquire a majority (90%) interest in the Pomme REE Project from Australian-listed company Metallium (ASX: MTM), which is located approximately 500 km northwest of Montréal in Québec around 100 km from the service town of Lebel-sur-Quévillon. The Pomme Project, consists of 43 mineral claims, covering 2,400 ha. NFM holds the exclusive and binding option to acquire 90% of the Pomme REE-Nb project.

Chairman Gerrard Hall commented: “This transaction materially advances NFM’s critical minerals strategy. Pomme is a large, carbonatite-hosted REE system in a proven Québec district, with historical drilling having already confirmed scale and continuity. The earn-in structure provides a capital-efficient pathway for growth, while early integration of Metallium as processing and technology partner further enhances the opportunity. The Board believes Pomme’s scale, location and upside strongly position NFM to deliver meaningful shareholder value.”

John Hannaford, Chairman of Metallium, said: “We are delighted to partner with NFM in advancing and
unlocking the full potential of the Pomme rare earths project. New Frontier brings strong exploration capability and a disciplined, value-driven approach to discovery, which we believe can materially enhance the scale and quality of the mineralised system. When combined with Metallium’s proprietary processing technologies and a comprehensive metallurgical test-work program, this partnership has the potential to support value uplift across both the resource and downstream development pathways.”

POMME CARBONATITE REE PROJECT
The Project is located approximately 500 km northwest of Montréal in Québec, around 100 km from the service town of Lebel-sur-Quévillon, approximately 50 km west of the Waswanipi Cree First Nation community, and benefits from easy access via established logging roads (Figure 1)2. The Project comprises 43 mineral claims, covering approximately 2,400 ha area and is located 7km from the world class Montviel Deposit which has a total Indicated and Inferred resource of 266 Mt @ 1.46% TREO and 0.14% Nb2O5.

Figure 1: Regional location map showing Pomme Project, in Québec, Canada2

MTM Critical Metals (a 100% subsidiary of ASX:MTM) has completed a 13-hole diamond drilling program totalling approximately 5,718 metres at its Pomme Rare Earth Element and Niobium Project in Québec, Canada2. Carbonatite-hosted REE-Nb mineralisation was intersected in every drill hole, confirming the presence of a large, laterally extensive mineralised system exceeding 2 km² that remains open at depth (Figure 2).
The historic work program has significantly advanced the geological understanding of the complex, with early interpretations indicating that higher-grade mineralisation occurs within a ring structure surrounding a magnetic ultramafic carbonatite core.

Drill holes POM-23-03, POM 23-01 and POM 23-07 to the southwest of the mineralised carbonatite returned broad mineralised intervals with multiple high-grade TREO intersections, supporting strong geological similarities to the nearby world-class Montviel carbonatite deposit.

Importantly, large portions of this prospective ring structure remain untested due to the broad drill spacing, presenting clear potential for further discovery through follow-up drilling.

STRATEGY AND DEVELOPMENT OPPORTUNITY
The Pomme Project provides NFM with a highly capital-efficient, low-risk entry into a strategically located Canadian rare earth asset via a two-year option structure requiring upfront consideration of A$100,000 in cash and A$200,000 in NFM shares and minimum annual expenditure of A$100,000 per annum during the option period. This staged earn-in framework enables NFM to progressively earn a majority (90%) interest through defined technical and investment milestones, significantly limiting upfront capital exposure while preserving substantial upside.

1. Initial work programs will focus on conventional metallurgical test work alongside the application of Metallium’s proprietary Flash Joule Heating (FJH) technology to existing drill core, targeting the production of upgraded rare earth concentrates and early validation of a scalable, low-cost processing pathway that has the potential to materially enhance project economics.

2. The Pomme Project presents compelling exploration upside, having been subject to only limited, widely spaced drilling to date, with drill lines approximately 500 metres apart2. Despite this early-stage drill density, high-grade rare earth element intersections have already been identified within a large, laterally extensive carbonatite system, highlighting the potential for significant growth through follow-up drilling targeting near surface higher grade zones of rare earth mineralistion.

The existing results indicate that higher-grade zones of mineralisation remain open, providing New Frontier Minerals with a strong opportunity to materially expand the scale and grade of mineralisation through systematic infill and step-out drilling programs.

METALLIUM TECHNOLOGY PARTNERSHIP
The acquisition deepens the Harts Range vertical integration with MTM1, adds a highly complementary Canadian asset, and creates a compelling Western-world partnership with MTM across Australia and Canada, delivering value for shareholders.

NFM’s binding commercial framework with Metallium also establishes a strategic technology partnership that is directly applicable to the advancement of the Pomme REE–Nb Project in Québec. Under this framework, MTM’s proprietary Flash Joule Heating (FJH) technology has demonstrated encouraging sighter beneficiation results on raw rare earth ore, producing high-grade, Dy/Tb-rich concentrates without conventional flotation, acid leaching or reagent-intensive processing.

The REE concentration enhancement and impurity rejection results observed through the aforementioned FJH test work indicate potential to support alternative downstream processing pathways for carbonatite-hosted rare earth projects such as Pomme, compared to conventional techniques. Alignment with MTM provides NFM with early integration of advanced metallurgical test work, access to MTM’s Texas Technology Campus for testing, and a clear potential pathway to Western-aligned rare earth supply chains, including U.S. magnet and defence markets, reinforcing the strategic value of the Pomme Project within a vertically integrated rare earth development strategy.

NEXT STEPS
Preliminary metallurgical test work

Selection of diamond drill core for characterisation tests and accelerate metallurgical assessment on
existing diamond core samples, utilising conventional metallurgical test work and tailored MTM Flash Joule Heating (FJH) processing technology to beneficiate and upgrade REE sample.

Model geology, drilling and target high-grade mineralisation
Integration of geological logging, assay results and geophysics into 3D model and identification of
continuous higher grade zones for follow-up drilling.

Metallium Ltd Supply Agreement with Glencore Secures 2,400 Tonnes Annually
By William Hadrian on January 5, 2026

https://discoveryalert.com.au/metallium-supply-agreement-glencore-2026/
Metallium Secures Game-Changing Supply Agreement with Global Mining Giant Glencore
The Metallium Ltd supply agreement with Glencore represents a transformative milestone for Australian technology company Metallium Limited (ASX: MTM). This multi-year contract guarantees access to 2,400 tonnes per annum of electronic scrap, providing the feedstock certainty needed to commission and scale the company's revolutionary Flash Joule Heating (FJH) technology in Texas.

This landmark agreement represents far more than a simple supply contract—it validates Metallium's technology with one of the world's largest recycling operations. Furthermore, it establishes the foundation for predictable, scalable metal recovery operations in the United States.

In my opinion in 3 years could be in the $100s. The tension between China and US will only escalate over Taiwan, Japan, Philippines.
Just my opinion.

Deal is with Glencore - just announced.

Curious who the partner is. I'm in UCU looking to load MTM

We will soon see the announcement of a feedstock supply agreement with Glencore.

almost hit $.75 and then fell back to $.71s ..

Phew back to the $.73s. It was a shock to see it dive to the $.30s. Now I can relax again.

totally agree, but going from $.74/$.75 to $.32s almost straight down was a bit concerting -- like down 60%

Relax mdb1. You're holding a winner. I'm it for 40,000 shares and completely comfortable. This FJH technology is ground-breaking.

Back to $.62-$.64s. It didn't keep going down.

Dropping 3 cents/day. By end of Jan, could be $.20/share.

MTM keep DROPPING from .73s to $.55. What gives?

This is the TIME to be in the e-waste recovery business: gold, silver, platinum, palladium, copper and RARE EARTHS!!!!!

Come on MTM

It's down another $.05 after the news. Sell on the news?

Gold near record high; silver blasted up to new record high; platinum and palladium are up huge and copper is up.
What a wonderful environment for an e-waste recovery company with revolutionary technology and of course there is the recovery of rare earths from e-waste. Go Metallium.

Could MTMCF pop 3x????? I wonder.

MTMCF halted until major announcement or 24th of December
""Metallium Limited is focused on critical-metals recovery technology.
The company has requested a trading halt for a major U.S. collaboration announcement.""

Metallium is using revolutionary technology developed by Rice University. I do think there is plenty of $$$ to go around with e-waste with gold over $4200 and silver at $59 not to mention platinum and palladium. Plus now the rare earths an absolute national priority for the entire western world and especially the United States.
Copper is at a high price as well.

Here is another company cleaning up waste:

https://investorshub.advfn.com/Aduro-Clean-Technologies-Inc-ADUR-41770

US Govt pouring more money into rare earths/critical metals independence. E-waste recovery could be a focal point -- right up MTM's alley.

my totally out of blue GUESS -- $50/share coming by Jan 2027

Wish I knew about this stock when it was still in the $.40s range.

What is with the high volume (over 500,000 shares traded in 30 minutes)?

FJH Treatment Resulted in an Exceptional Beneficiation Result Increasing TREO from 1.7% to 35.0% (approximately a 20% upgrade) in a Single Step Flash and 53x/21x Dy-Tb Enrichment
Tue, November 18, 2025 at 8:45 AM EST

PERTH, Western Australia and HOUSTON, Nov. 18, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Metallium Ltd. (ASX: MTM) (OTCQX: MTMCF) announced it has established a major step forward in establishing a Western heavy-rare-earth refining pathway through a new collaboration with New Frontier Minerals, Ltd. Early testwork using Metallium's proprietary Flash Joule Heating (FJH) technology on material from NFM's Harts Range Project in the Northern Territory of Australia, delivered exceptional enrichment results for dysprosium (Dy) and terbium (Tb), two of the rarest and most strategic rare-earth elements (REEs). Metallium has simultaneously secured exclusive, project-linked rights to apply FJH to all future Harts Range material, reinforcing Metallium's leadership in advanced rare-earth refining technology.
Additional details can be found here: https://cdn-api.markitdigital.com/apiman-gateway/ASX/asx-research/1.0/file/2924-03024166-6A1297452&v=undefined.

"These results highlight the disruptive potential of Metallium's technology. To take an unprocessed rock sample and produce a Dy/Tb-rich concentrate in one rapid, solvent-free step is exceptional," said Michael Walshe, Managing Director and CEO of Metallium. "It reinforces our position at the forefront of building a Western supply chain for the world's most strategic rare-earth metals. To achieve a more than 20-fold TREO upgrade and more than a 50-fold enrichment of dysprosium from a raw, un-beneficiated ore sample in a single flash is unprecedented in global heavy-rare-earth beneficiation," he stressed.

Walsh added that the U.S. currently has no major source for these two heavy REEs and the Department of War is actively looking for supply. "These two heavy REEs are almost 100% supplied by China today, from REE clay deposits, yet are critical for magnet and defense technologies," he explained.

The beneficiation results demonstrated that a single-step treatment with FJH increased TREO from 1.7% to 35.0%, approximately a 20 times upgrade in a single step flash, including 53 times Dy enrichment and 21 times Tb enrichment, with complete removal of detectable Fe, Si and Th from raw, un-beneficiated (no flotation, acid leaching or hydrometallurgical pre-conditioning) Harts Range Ore. "These results represent an unprecedented beneficiation performance for raw Dy-Tb bearing ore in a single, rapid, solvent-free reaction," Walsh said.

MTM Critical Metals
Readers should be aware that Pitt Street Research Pty Ltd has been engaged and paid by the company covered in this report for ongoing research coverage. Please refer to the final page of this report for the General Advice Warning, disclaimer and full disclosures.

MTM’s commercial plan
MTM has three target commodities: Lithium, REEs and Gallium. In respect of each of these, demand is expected to grow exponentially in the years ahead, and metals recycling can play a key role in ensuring demand can be met. Moreover, beyond the general benefits of FJH we mentioned above, it has specific benefits to certain commodities. For lithium, FJH can improve the energy-intensive 'calcination' step in lithium extraction4. For rare earths, FJH could potentially improve the processing by removing the need for the ‘acid bake/roasting’ step where rare earth phosphates are converted to rare earth sulphates. Gallium is arguably the commodity where MTM could make the most difference because China dominates the supply chain even moreso than with rare earths and also because gallium mining is rare given it is rarely found in sufficient volumes to make mining operations viable. Please see our initiation report from last October for further details on how FJH can help those specific commodities.

FJH has also demonstrated potential against other commodities with the most prominent being gold, which is a very common metal in E-waste. Gold processing is typically done in smelters and incinerators using methods that are expensive, time-consuming, crude to the environment through direct emissions and toxic by-products, and often unregulated. FJH’s technology applies direct electrical energy under a chlorine gas atmosphere, thus vaporising metals from e-waste and recovering them in a single step without using toxic acids or non-selective incineration MTM has estimated a global market for metal recovery from industrial waste in the order of US$400bn, while another US$600bn market exists for improved processing options for refractory minerals. It has identified 4 specific verticals:

Lithium battery waste, E-waste, Bauxite residue and Coal fly Ash (REE can be present in all of these).

MTM’s options for longer-term commercialisation
Although MTM is a few years away from commercial-scale operations, it is not unrealistic to ponder how MTM could eventually make money from this technology. Although MTM has not disclosed its thoughts publicly, we see the following as some of the options available:- Licensing or Sub-Licensing to companies such as those in the critical metals industry, allowing them to integrate it into their operations. MTM would get a licence fee, plus a processing fee, plus ideally a share of the profits to incentivise high recovery;- An Owner/Operator Arrangement; in other words, establishing and operating facilities of MTM’s own – potentially with a project partner who would acquire equity at the project level,- Contract Operations: Operating plants on behalf of third parties, leveraging MTM's expertise in deploying the technology and getting fees based on tonnage processed and a share of the profits; and, - Collaborative Ventures: Forming JV or partnerships with major industry players to integrate FJH into their processes while sharing the financial and operational commitments.

A potential beneficiary from Trump’s tariffs Share Price: A$0.15
MTM Critical Metals (ASX: MTM) is a company commercialising a Flash Joule Heating (FJH) technology. The technology can make a significant difference in the recovery of metals. FJH can recover metals with a lower cost (in terms of time and money), lower energy consumption and thus lower environmental impact and lower reagents. It could also enable US metals companies to ‘onshore’ their processing.

More commercial collaborations MTM has taken several pivotal steps towards eventual production including signing its first commercial collaboration with Indium Corporation, and letters of intent with US e-waste recycling companies Dynamic Lifestyle Innovations and Plastic Recycling to supply e-waste feedstock to MTM. The new agreements have come off the back of MTM’s most recent testing results that have reported exceptional results which we will outline in this report.

The key catalyst for MTM will be the planned commissioning of its US demonstration plant. This is anticipated in the December quarter of 2025 and will be key in securing further commercial partners.

FJH: A domestic critical metals solution
Even prior to the Trump administration’s tariffs, the push to onshore domestic processing and refining of critical metals was real – it has only been magnified in recent weeks. MTM’s FJH bypasses US import duties (and Chinese export restrictions on critical metals) as it sources feedstock from US partners. Moreover, the US government is issuing billions of dollars in grants for local critical minerals projects. MTM is therefore poised to benefit as American companies requiring critical minerals seek domestic supply solutions that will hold up in this brave new world.

Valuation $260.7m or $0.57 per share
We reiterate our valuation of MTM of $260.7m, or $0.57 per share under the current number of shares on issue. This is a peer-weighted approach and was last updated in our previous report in January. Please see page 7 for more details on our valuation rationale and page 8 for the key risks.

Does FJH really work?
MTM has conducted its own testing on FJH to see if the theory was borne out in reality, and the answer has not just been resoundingly affirmative but even more so than the company had previously anticipated. Results of testing in May 2024, done at 50 times the scale of Rice University’s original proof of concept, was 50% higher in 2022. FJH improves the acid leachability of REEs by over 50% and other critical metals by 50-514% when compared to conventional acid leach methods. In September 2024, MTM announced that it had successfully used FJH to recover gold from e-waste and achieved yields of up to 70%. In February 2025, MTM demonstrated ~90% and ~80% recovery rates for Gallium and Germanium respectively from semiconductor metal refining waste.

MTM’s most recent testing results were revealed to shareholders in early April 2025, conducted on Printed Circuit Board Feedstock (from end of life electronics), and depicted over 95% recovery for gold & titanium and over 90% for silver, tin and zinc (Figure 1 and Figure 2). These not only show that FJH technology works, but also that e-Waste is an ideal opportunity to source recycled metals.

Chinese export restrictions on rare earth elements (REEs) and critical metals such as Gallium and Germanium have prompted US efforts to strengthen domestic supply chains and reduce reliance on foreign processing.

MTM holds strategic REE exploration assets in Quebec and Western Australia however has pivoted to being a specialist in advanced metal recovery technologies.

Flash Joule Heating (FJH) is a patented technology invented by Dr James Tour from Rice University and is provided to MTM under an exclusive global license agreement.

FJH technology has the potential to revolutionise metal recovery by reducing energy consumption, reagent use, waste, and offering a more environmentally friendly alternative.

MTM has achieved breakthrough efficiency gains in REE processing, augmenting the FJH technology with chlorination, eliminating the reliance on energy-intensive, and reagent heavy traditional sulphuric acid baking and multi-stage leaching.

Recently, MTM achieved 93% conversion of REEs from a dried monazite flotation concentrate containing ~31% Total Rare Earth Oxides. Using a single FJH-carbochlorination process and a water wash, all 17 REEs were successfully chlorinated with resultant REE-chloride product showing >90% purity.

MTM are working with Knighthawk Engineering to develop a 1TPD Pilot processing unit and are on track for design completion by Feb 2025. This is expected to be followed by procurement, construction, and commissioning phases.

MTM has demonstrated the FJH process can deliver required product yield and purity levels for several feedstock strategies. It is simultaneously bringing this up to commercial scale having successfully developed a continuous induction flashing reactor.

MTM concurrently maintains testing programs across multiple feedstock types to deliver further validation for the technology and strives to achieve commercialisation via the negotiation of formal scrap supply and offtake agreements, on terms conducive to an ongoing business relationship.

We initiate coverage of MTM with an initial target price of $0.50 reflecting modest scale up of the FJH process using 1TPD Pilot Units which are currently on track for design completion in February 2025.
