What Regentech does

Regenx Tech Corp (CSE: RGX, OTCQB: RGXTF, FSE: YRS) is a Canadian-listed cleantech company commercializing a proprietary hydrometallurgical process that recovers platinum (Pt) and palladium (Pd) from end-of-life silicon carbide (SiC) diesel catalytic converters — a feedstock stream that traditional pyrometallurgical smelters typically reject or price punitively. The proprietary recovery chemistry and SiC processing know-how are deliberately protected as a trade secret rather than via patents, allowing continuous evolution under the Coca-Cola / Apple model, with supporting mining-apparatus patents (US10512917, US10124345, US10351454, US20210039108A1) held in the Mineworx Technologies entity. The company states a 95%+ precious metal recovery rate, a 95% reduction in CO2 emissions versus mining/smelting, 99% lower water consumption, and up to 90% landfill-waste reduction. Its commercial platform consists of Module One in Newport, Tennessee (5,000 lbs/day design capacity, restarting after Air Pollution Control permitting in 2025), R&D laboratories in Tennessee and Vancouver, and Canadian corporate headquarters in St. Albert, Alberta, with subsidiary PGM Renewal LLC housing the US recycling operations.

Regenx monetizes by producing a "Black Powder" Pt/Pd concentrate from processed SiC feedstock and selling it to third-party refiners who upgrade it to 99.9% pure metal for resale on the commodities market or back to predetermined customers (including original automotive suppliers). Its only named strategic feedstock partner is Davis Recycling Inc. on the US Eastern Seaboard, which supplies pre-processed converter material. Pricing is tied to prevailing global PGM spot prices and is not publicly disclosed. The company launched its commercial revenue phase in February 2024, but commercial-scale production was interrupted by permitting delays until the September 2025 restart. Headcount is small (1-10 employees per firmographic data), and pre-revenue operations and ongoing working capital have been funded primarily through a series of non-brokered unsecured debenture and private placement financings (e.g., $679,032 in March 2025, $555,664 in June 2025, $469,481 in September 2025, $352,834 in December 2025, $230,833 in April 2026), supplemented by modest non-dilutive grants from NRC IRAP ($50,000-$55,000). Customer segments include precious-metals refiners (primary), automotive OEMs seeking closed-loop recycled PGM supply, automotive recyclers (feedstock), and government/research agencies (DOE, NRC IRAP).

The company carries material governance and regulatory risk signals relevant to investors: a Management Cease Trade Order was issued by the Alberta Securities Commission in May 2024 (expired June 2024) following delayed annual filings, and a new Cease Trade Order was issued on October 1, 2025; the auditor changed from Gallo LLP to DMCL Chartered Professional Accountants in February 2025 alongside a fiscal year-end change to March 31; insider ownership is 7%; and the share count is approximately 395.5 million outstanding (433.8 million fully diluted). The company's stated expansion roadmap targets 10 tons/day across four modules and replication across North America, but only Module One is currently operational post-restart.

Revenue model

1. Sale of PGM Concentrate to Refiners: Regenx produces a "Black Powder" PGM concentrate at its Tennessee facility. This concentrate is upgraded by third-party refiners into 99.9% pure platinum and palladium, which is sold in the commodities market or to predetermined customers (including the original suppliers). Recurring commodity supply relationship.
2. Pre-Revenue / Launch Phase Financing: The company was pre-revenue through most of its history and entered its revenue phase in February 2024. Operations and working capital have historically been funded through repeated non-brokered debenture and private placement financings (e.g., $679,032 in March 2025, $555,664 in June 2025, $469,481 in September 2025, $352,834 in December 2025, $230,833 in April 2026).
3. Government / Research Grants: Non-dilutive funding from agencies such as the National Research Council of Canada Industrial Research Assistance Program (NRC IRAP) — up to $50,000-$55,000 in advisory services and funding to advance proprietary PGM recovery technology. Also engaged with the U.S. Department of Energy on a full proposal for critical minerals recovery.

Core offering

Regenx operates a proprietary hydrometallurgical process that recovers platinum (Pt) and palladium (Pd) from end-of-life diesel silicon carbide (SiC) catalytic converters, achieving over 95% metal recovery. The company accepts prepared feedstock from automotive recyclers, chemically extracts and precipitates a "Black Powder" PGM concentrate at its Eastern Tennessee facility, and ships the concentrate to third-party refiners who upgrade it to 99.9% pure metal for sale in the commodities market or back to predetermined customers.

Product overview

Regenx Tech Corp. operates a single unified proprietary technology platform — the Regenx Proprietary PGM Recovery Process — commercialized through a series of named offerings. At the core is the proprietary hydrometallurgical Regenx Process (delivered as the Diesel SiC Catalytic Converter Recycling Service), which accepts prepared feedstock, separates core materials, chemically extracts Platinum and Palladium, and precipitates a Black Powder PGM Concentrate that is upgraded by third-party refiners to 99.9% pure metal. This process is deployed physically through the Regenx Commercial Module at the Eastern Tennessee facility (Module One, 5,000 lbs/day design capacity, planned expansion to 10 tons/day across four modules). Underlying mining and processing innovations are protected via U.S. patents — including Patented Mining Mill Technology (US10512917 / US20210039108A1), Patented Portable Mining Apparatus (US10124345), and Patented Mining Apparatus with Water Reclamation (US10351454) — held in the Mineworx Technologies entity, while the core recovery chemistry is deliberately protected as a trade secret rather than patented. Together these named products, services, intermediate outputs, and patents form the integrated offering positioned for the Circular Economy for platinum group metals.
