Securing our
Critical Metals
Enabling Sovereign Access to the Building Blocks of Modern Industry
Helios is advancing the sustainable extraction of critical and rare metals that power the technologies of tomorrow.
From semiconductors and batteries to aerospace and defense systems, modern industries depend on a stable supply of critical elements such as copper, cobalt, lithium, nickel, electrolytic iron and more. But today’s global supply chains are vulnerable, marked by concentration, instability, and limited access to secure, sustainable sources.
At Helios, we’re tackling this challenge head-on.
Localized Extraction. Global Impact.
Our proprietary Helios Cycle™, a sodium-based reduction platform, enables efficient, clean, and low-cost processing of complex ores, including those that contain critical and rare earth elements. This breakthrough allows countries to extract value from their own domestic deposits, bypassing traditional high-emission, capital-intensive methods.
Helios’ solution advantages:
Resource-Agnostic
Capable of processing a wide range of ore types
Carbon-Free
No CO₂ emissions during extraction
Cost-Efficient
Low operating costs without compromise on performance
Strengthening Industrial and Strategic Resilience
By unlocking local supply chains, Helios reduces reliance on global trade flows and enhances resilience across strategic sectors, from clean energy and telecommunications to satellites and national defense. Our technologies empower nations to turn underutilized resources into high-value assets, while safeguarding environmental and economic interests.
Sustainability Meets Sovereignty
The need for responsible, sovereign access to critical metals has never been greater. Helios is committed to circular, zero-emission technologies that align industrial growth with environmental stewardship. Our approach not only strengthens supply security but also accelerates the transition to a low-carbon economy.
