TEMAS OPENS NEW RCL METALLURGICAL LAB TO ACCELERATE TECHNOLOGY DEPLOYMENT AND THIRD-PARTY REVENUE OPPORTUNITIES
Temas Resources Corp. has established its Technology Research and Development Centre (TRDC) metallurgical laboratory, within the laboratories of Insight R&D Inc., strategically located within the Greater Toronto-Hamilton corridor of Southern Ontario, Canada.
Highlights:
- New RCL (regenerative chloride leach) metallurgical lab commissioned in Ontario, Canada, supporting RCL technology scale-up and commercial deployment;
- The Temas metallurgical lab will be used to support third party test work, contract pipeline, joint venture and licensing opportunities;
- Enables in-house process optimization, pilot-scale testing to accelerate evaluation of third party mineral deposits and tailings for RCL application, and potential joint venture/licensing opportunities;
- Temas has secured initial third party test work contracts, with additional opportunities in the pipeline;
- Temas's 100-per-cent-owned RCL technology platform comprises granted process patents, covering the extraction of multiple metals and feedstocks, including but not limited to refractory gold, titanium, polymetallic sulphides, nickel laterite, critical minerals and rare earths.
The TRDC will support a range of functions, including continued development of the company's RCL technology, small-scale production of precious, critical and rare earth minerals, and advance RCL business development opportunities with third party miners and explorers. It will also be used to evaluate the company's critical mineral deposits at La Blache and Lac Brule, support training of the local technical work force, and facilitate community engagement. In addition, the facility will undertake sample preparation for exploration, geotechnical and metallurgical testing, third party material test work, and further process development activities.
"The establishment of the Temas TDRC allows the company to immediately proceed to test work and intellectual property (IP) deployment, leveraging its IP, metallurgists and Insight's established laboratories with both strong scale-up infrastructure and engineering talent that support our projected customer companies on five continents. The TDRC represents a great tool for exploration, business and process development, which we are putting to use immediately," said Temas chief operating officer David Caldwell. "It will not only help the team complete the ongoing RCL test work at La Blache and Lac Brule, but it will be a key part of delivering RCL-based metallurgical testing to third parties seeking to use our novel mixed chloride approach to unlock enhanced metal recovery and operating cost savings with their deposits. To date, Temas has signed two third party contracts to test RCL and has many more projects in our sales pipeline. The work done at the TDRC metallurgical lab facility will assist with future project feasibility studies, scale-up and deployment of the RCL technology at full scale."
Tim Fernback, chief executive officer of Temas, commented:"The establishment our TDRC metallurgical lab facility is the first step in what we envision not only as a future Temas centre for refinement of our novel RCL technology, but also a platform for development of new industry-leading green metallurgical solutions. It allows us to not only complete both internal and third party bench testing rock that is run of mine, concentrate or from mine tailings, but also allows us to conduct both mini-pilot and small-scale pilot testing in the future. Providing more of these additional services in-house will help speed along the development and deployment of our RCL technology."
RCL platform overview and competitive differentiation
Temas's RCL platform is an innovative, advanced hydrometallurgical platform designed for the efficient extraction of metals from complex mineralization, concentrates, slags and tailings in an environmentally responsible manner.
Key attributes of the RCL platform include:
- Ability to process low-quality feedstocks and render high-value end products in fewer process steps than competing metallurgical approaches;
- Atmospheric-pressure and lower-temperature operation relative to conventional chloride or sulphate routes, pressure oxidation or roasting, and other complex treatments for complex or refractory feedstocks;
- Closed-loop reagent recycling delivering materially lower operating costs and reduced environmental footprint;
- Enhance the recovery of critical metals, battery metals, platinum group minerals, precious and base metals and rare earth elements by leveraging higher yields, lower operating costs and better margins.

About Temas Resources Corp.
Temas Resources is a technology-driven critical minerals company advancing a dual-business model built around proprietary processing innovation and strategic mineral ownership. The company's patented regenerative chloride leach (RCL) technology platform delivers significant operational cost reductions -- validated at up to 65 per cent lower than traditional processing -- while dramatically reducing energy use and environmental impact.
Temas's RCL process is the foundation of its technology licensing and partnership business, enabling global mining and materials companies to adopt sustainable, high-margin metal extraction methods across a range of critical minerals, including titanium, vanadium, nickel and rare earth elements.
Complementing its technology division, Temas also owns 100 per cent of two advanced titanium-vanadium-iron projects in Quebec, Canada -- La Blache and Lac Brule -- which are strategically positioned to feed directly into the company's proprietary processing platform, creating a fully integrated mine-to-market supply chain for Western metals.
Through this combination of innovative IP commercialization and resource ownership, Temas Resources is positioned to deliver scalable, low-carbon solutions that strengthen Western critical mineral independence and create long-term value for shareholders.
We seek Safe Harbor.
