Why refining matters

China refines >85% of the world’s critical minerals — a tighter grip than OPEC ever had on oil.

Without purification, the West's abundant ore and end-of-life scrap is useless — unable to power the industries that depend on them — leaving the United States, Europe, and allied nations entirely reliant on China.

Domestic refining is the only bridge to onshoring the supply chain.

THE PLATFORM

Nth Cycle’s OYSTER® platform
uses a single architecture to deliver unmatched advantages.

Nth Cycle’s OYSTER® platform uses a single architecture to deliver unmatched advantages.

Nth Cycle's patented electroextraction process integrates the industrial processes of electrochemistry, filtration, and precipitation, in order to bypass the expense, build-out, and waste created by the traditional centralized refinery model. The OYSTER®'s modular design features a stack of electrochemical cells that can be tuned for different metals and installed in existing buildings at a fraction of the cost and time.

The Advantages

Nth Cycle’s solution converts end-of-life and mined feedstocks into
production-grade materials
— cheaper, faster, and cleaner.

Centralized refineries face inflexible capabilities, high capital intensity, permitting obstacles, and multi-year development cycles.

70%

lower capital intensity
at 5-10x smaller scale.

CHEAPER

2 Years

or less to deployment,
including permitting.

FASTER

Up to 75%

less waste thanks to
electroextraction.

CLEANER

Markets and DeploymentS

We’re meeting the urgent
demand for battery materials, rare earth elements, and copper.

Battery Materials

Essential for use in electric vehicles and decentralized power generation, these materials are commonly mined or recycled from manufacturing and end-of-life scrap. The OYSTER® produces high-purity MHP and battery-grade lithium carbonate.dation of energy storage systems, transportation, and infrastructure.
