Temas Resources

What Temas Resources does

Temas Resources Corp. is a publicly listed critical minerals and metallurgical technology company headquartered in Vancouver, Canada, with a Quebec regional headquarters in Montreal and a metallurgical R&D laboratory (the Technology Research and Development Centre, or TRDC) in the Greater Toronto-Hamilton corridor, Ontario. It is dual-listed on the CSE (TMAS), ASX (TIO via CDIs), OTCQB (TMASF) and Frankfurt (26P0).

The company's core asset is the Regenerative Chloride Leach (RCL) platform, a patented hydrometallurgical process developed over 30+ years by ORF Technologies Inc. and now 100% owned by Temas following the October 2025 buy-out. RCL uses a mixed chloride (HCl-based) leach at atmospheric pressure and lower temperatures than conventional routes to extract titanium, vanadium, iron, nickel, cobalt, gold, silver, PGEs, base metals and rare earth elements from concentrates, whole ores, slags and tailings, with closed-loop regeneration of more than 95% of reagents. The platform is protected by 11 granted process patents (US/Canada/India), has been independently validated at the University of Minnesota NRRI, and has produced 88 kg of 99.8% pure TiO2 in pilot testing at 59.2-69.7% lower cost than industry benchmarks. Temas also wholly owns the La Blache titanium-vanadium-iron project (122 mineral claims, ~7,000 ha, 208.5 Mt inferred resource) and the Lac Brule ilmenite project (36 claims, 2,016 ha) in Quebec, both of which serve as flagship assets for eventual RCL deployment.

Temas operates a dual commercialization model: (1) licensing the RCL platform and forming joint ventures (typically with a developer-funded testwork and an 80/20 economics in Temas's favor) for third-party miners globally, with active pursuits in Australia, Indonesia, the USA and Canada and a non-binding LOI signed for the Revel Ridge Au-Ag project; and (2) advancing its own La Blache and Lac Brule projects toward mine development for future TiO2, V2O5, Fe2O3 and by-product (Ga, Sc, Cr) production. Near-term revenue comes from fee-based RCL testwork services at the TRDC laboratory, with the company having secured two third-party contracts and additional opportunities in the pipeline. As of December 31, 2025, Temas reported CAD $4.7M in cash, no material revenue, and was structured around a 1-10 person headcount, the Scientific Advisory Board, and a recent expansion of its board of directors.

Revenue model

1. RCL Technology Licensing & Joint Ventures: Licensing the RCL platform technology to third-party mining companies globally and forming joint ventures for commercial deployment. Temas is actively pursuing opportunities with miners in Indonesia, Australia, and North America. Revenue generated through licensing fees, milestone payments, and JV profit participation. A non-binding LOI was signed with 1542642 B.C. Ltd. for RCL deployment at the Revel Ridge gold project, potentially leading to an 80/20 JV with CAD$2M developer investment.
2. Third-Party Metallurgical Testwork Contracts: Fee-based RCL test-work services through the TRDC laboratory. The company has signed third-party contracts for RCL testing with additional opportunities in the sales pipeline, providing immediate revenue streams as third-party miners evaluate the platform.
3. Critical Minerals Production (Future): Once the La Blache and Lac Brule projects advance through development, the company expects to generate revenue from selling titanium dioxide, vanadium pentoxide, iron oxide, and by-product critical minerals (gallium, scandium, chromium) produced via the RCL process.

Core offering

Temas Resources Corp. is a publicly traded mineral exploration and metallurgical technology company that develops and commercializes the patented Regenerative Chloride Leach (RCL) platform, a hydrometallurgical process for extracting titanium, vanadium, iron, and critical minerals from complex ores and tailings. The company licenses its RCL technology globally through licensing and joint venture arrangements, provides fee-based metallurgical testwork services at its TRDC laboratory in Ontario, and advances its 100%-owned La Blache and Lac Brule titanium-vanadium-iron projects in Quebec.

Product overview

Temas Resources operates a dual business model combining proprietary metallurgical technology with strategic mineral asset ownership. The core offering is the Regenerative Chloride Leach (RCL) Technology Platform, a patented hydrometallurgical process for extracting critical metals from complex ores. This platform is complemented by two wholly-owned North American mineral projects: the La Blache titanium-vanadium-iron project (208.5Mt inferred resource) and the Lac Brule high-grade titanium project, both in Quebec, Canada. The company supports its technology through the Technology Research and Development Centre (TRDC) laboratory in Ontario, which enables in-house process optimization, pilot-scale testing, and fee-based third-party testwork services. Revenue streams include technology licensing, joint ventures, and future development of the company's own mineral properties.
