DOMESTIC CRITICAL MATERIALS FOR SEMICONDUCTORS
America’s critical metals aren't buried.
They've already
been dug up.
PHNX Materials extracts gallium, germanium, and silicon from industrial byproducts — building domestic supply for semiconductors and national security, without new mines.

01 – THE CHALLENGE: CHINA DOMINANCE
China controls the metals that power the modern economy.
Gallium, germanium, and silicon are essential to every semiconductor, every 5G system, every advanced weapon. China produces 98% of the world's gallium — and has already restricted exports. The U.S. produces none.
This isn't a trade inconvenience. It's a national security emergency.
02 — WHY NEW MINES WON’T SAVE US
New mines are a decade-long bet we can't afford to make.
7–10
YEARS TO PERMIT
Average permitting timeline for a new U.S. mine. The supply crisis is now — not 2035.
90%+
WASTE
Existing mining technologies extract < 10% of value and dispose of the remaining as toxic liability

U.S. GALLIUM MINES
There has never been a primary gallium mine. It's only ever extracted as a byproduct of other processes.
03 — THE PHNX ANSWER
Don't mine it. Extract it from what's already been mined.
Billions of tons of industrial byproducts sit across America — loaded with the same metals we import from China. Our patented process unlocks them, turning a single waste stream into three high-value products.

05 — IMPACT
The value we create.
For National Security
Domestic critical metals for U.S. semiconductors and defense. Profitable extraction. Built-in price protection. No new mines. No foreign reliance.
For Utilities &
Site Owners
Turn your biggest environmental liability into revenue. PHNX removes coal ash from your books—and your sites—for good. No closure costs. No regulatory risk. No long-term monitoring.
For Communities
Skilled manufacturing jobs where America built its energy backbone. Every PHNX site creates operations, maintenance, and engineering roles in coal communities—while restoring groundwater and improving local environments.
For the Planet
Every ton of cement we replace cuts CO₂. Every ton of ash we process restores land. Impact isn’t a side effect—it’s the product.
