Metallium's Major Capital Raise to Propel U.S. Expansion
HOUSTON, Jan. 21, 2026 – Metallium Ltd. (ASX: MTM; OTCQX: MTMCF; OTCQX ADR: MTLMY) has announced the successful completion of a substantial A$75 million strategic capital raise, primarily led by U.S.-based institutional investors. This funding is intended to fortify the company's ambitious plans surrounding critical minerals and recycling technology, as well as enhance its domestic processing capabilities in the United States.
This capital infusion comes at a pivotal time, aligning with the impending commissioning and commercial scale-up of Metallium's inaugural facility, the
Gator Point Technology Campus in Texas. Furthermore, it supports the establishment of an American Depository Receipt (ADR) program following a planned NASDAQ listing later this year.
Key Details and Strategic Importance
The funding was finalized at an issue price of A$0.84 per share, signifying an 8.7% discount compared to the company's last closing price and 8.8% off the five-day average price. This capital raise notably enhances U.S. institutional representation in Metallium’s shareholder register and reflects a rising investor interest in U.S.-based critical metals initiatives.
Michael Walshe, the managing director and CEO, remarked, "This capital raise is a testament to the robust support for our U.S.-focused strategy as we transition from development to commercial operations. As we initiate commissioning at Gator Point and under our secured feedstock agreement with Glencore, we've witnessed increased engagement from U.S. investors eager to participate in the critical metals sector."
The capital raising effort was spearheaded by
Petra Capital, with
EAS Advisors LLC, facilitated through
Odeon Capital Group LLC, serving as the U.S. advisory firm.
