Critical Minerals Recovery

AmForge develops critical minerals and materials recovery pillars that convert coal tailings, mine waste, industrial residues, strategic scrap, legacy materials, and allied feedstocks into secure domestic supply.

Overview

A scalable approach to domestic supply.

AmForge builds critical minerals and materials recovery pillars that convert coal tailings, mine waste, industrial residues, strategic scrap, legacy materials, and allied feedstocks into domestic sources of rare earths and other high-priority materials.

Our hub-and-spoke model allows regional processing centers to serve local resources while receiving additional feedstocks from domestic and allied partners. The result is a scalable approach to critical minerals supply that does not rely solely on new mine development.
