Unlocking critical metals, the new strategic commodities

Demand for critical metals is surging across electrification, advanced electronics, infrastructure development and defense, while supply remains constrained by geopolitics and environmentally intensive extraction. Boston Metal’s MOE platform directly addresses this market demand by enabling the efficient recovery of high-value metals from a wide range of mining and industrial waste streams and boosting yields and lowering capital costs to create new commercialization opportunities for low-grade mineral projects.

Molten Oxide Electrolysis (MOE) for Critical Metals Production

Critical metals are essential to advanced technologies, manufacturing, AI and industrial supply chains, but conventional production methods often leave valuable materials behind. Boston Metal’s MOE platform creates a new pathway to recover high-value metals from low-grade materials, mining and industrial waste streams that are often difficult or uneconomic to process.

MOE uses electricity to selectively process metal oxides and recover strategic metals from complex feedstocks. In critical metals production, this enables efficient recovery of materials such as niobium, tantalum, vanadium and nickel, helping turn underutilized resources into new economic opportunities.

By making better use of existing materials, MOE can reduce the need for new extraction, strengthen domestic and regional supply chains, and support more sustainable, lower-emission metals production. With a modular cell design and the flexibility to operate across a wide range of feedstocks and metal outputs, MOE gives the metals and mining industries a scalable, cost-effective platform for critical metals production.

Key Benefits

Profit from Waste

MOE enables efficient recovery of high-value metals from a wide range of mining and industrial waste streams. By transforming materials that are often treated as liabilities into new sources of critical metals, Boston Metal helps create new revenue opportunities from existing resources.

Efficient Solution

MOE can boost yields and lower capital costs for low-grade mineral projects, creating new commercialization opportunities for resources that may be difficult or uneconomic to process using conventional methods.

Flexible Technology

MOE is a modular, scalable platform that can be tailored to different feedstocks and target metals. Cells can be added over time to increase capacity, giving metals and mining companies a flexible pathway to scale critical metals production.

Demand for Critical Metals

Critical metals are essential to the technologies and industries shaping the modern economy, from digital infrastructure and advanced manufacturing to electrification and defense. As demand grows, supply chains remain exposed to geopolitical risk, high extraction costs and limited processing capacity.

MOE offers a new pathway to unlock supply from materials already available today.

MOE’s selectivity enables the recovery of high-value metals from low-grade feedstocks.
