Amsterdam, 4 April 2024 — AMG Critical Materials N.V. (« AMG », EURONEXT AMSTERDAM: « AMG ») is pleased to announce the formation of NewMOX SAS, Grenoble, France, to service the nuclear fuel market. NewMOX is a subsidiary of ALD Vacuum Technologies GmbH, Hanau, Germany (« ALD »), AMG’s engineering subsidiary focused on vacuum furnace technology, which includes sintering furnace systems enabling the production of commercial nuclear fuel from plutonium and depleted uranium (termed “MOX”). ALD’s MOX technology has been applied in Germany, the United States, France, Belgium, the United Kingdom and recently ALD has been delivering such furnace systems to China. ALD – where D stands for Degussa – inherited the MOX technology from Degussa AG, ALD’s former owner (later renamed Evonik AG).
Presently, the total global storage of civil-use plutonium resulting from the reprocessing of used fuel from commercial nuclear power operations stands at 380 tons, and this figure continues to grow with ongoing nuclear power generation. Furthermore, if turned into electricity, this plutonium could power 36 one-gigawatt nuclear power plants for 20 years. Recycling this plutonium would result in “CO2 free” power and a saving of over 2 billion tons of CO2 if measured against a coal dominated grid. It should also be noted that the circularity associated with the conversion of plutonium into MOX reduces uranium mining and therefore further increases the attractiveness of nuclear power in CO2 terms.
The storage of plutonium is extremely costly due to the risks associated with plutonium. The conversion of plutonium into MOX fuel not only eliminates these risks but can be a commercially attractive alternative to storage. As an indicator, the conversion of 380 tons of plutonium into MOX translates at present fuel prices into a commercial value of $15 to $20 billion.
“We are excited that our furnace technology engineering excellence has created a new project which resulted in the formation of NewMOX SAS. We have appointed Serge Bertrand, head of ALD France, Grenoble, where ALD has centered its nuclear technology activities, to be CEO of NewMOX. Dr. Johannes Fachinger, head of nuclear ALD Hanau, will be Chief Technology Officer. Both gentlemen have extensive industry expertise, and most recently were in charge of implementing the MOX furnace technology in a Chinese factory,” said Michael Hohmann, ALD’s CEO.
“The NewMOX business model is simple,” said Dr. Heinz Schimmelbusch, AMG’s CEO. “There is a lot of plutonium stored and the operators of these storage facilities are seeking ways to reduce storage costs; there is the proven ALD MOX sinter furnace technology; and there is a large MOX market which will grow with the development of the emerging SMR (Small Modular Reactor) wave. It is the objective of NewMOX to form partnerships for the construction and operation of a commercial plutonium recycling facility producing MOX fuel starting with conceptual engineering and feasibility studies. This will take time, but this is a very valuable destination. And it qualifies under AMG’s “Double Materiality” standard which combines financial and environmental benefits.”
The declaration by the Dubai 23 conference COP 28 on Climate Change that the tripling of the world’s nuclear energy is essential for defeating Climate Change has opened a new and prospective page for the nuclear industry. This statement has been strengthened during the European Nuclear Summit in March 2024 in Brussels, where leaders of European countries and energy experts called for a “nuclear energy revival.”

Amsterdam, 17August 2023 — AMG Critical Materials N.V. (« AMG », EURONEXT AMSTERDAM: « AMG ») announces that AMG Brasil S.A. (“AMG Brazil”), has signed an exclusive memorandum of understanding (“MOU”) with Grupo Lagoa, which operates a pegmatite mine supplying the Portuguese ceramic and glass industry since 1984. The intention of the partnership is to concentrate the lithium minerals contained in the pegmatite to produce commercial grade Spodumene concentrate.
To date, we have performed comprehensive metallurgical tests on a laboratory scale and have confirmed a viable mineral processing route to convert a representative sample of 1.1% Li2O yielding an output of 5.6% Li2O spodumene concentrate at 15.5% mass recovery and 76.2% metallurgical recovery. This partnership presents a unique opportunity for both parties, as we can significantly leverage AMG’s operating experience in Brazil due to the similarities of our mine and operations. Leveraging our experience in Brazil, the planned process will allow for the continued supply of ceramic & glass materials to local customers.
Basic engineering of a sizeable Pilot Plant with a capacity to process up to 80,000 tonnes per annum of pegmatite has been initiated. Additional geological studies, including diamond drilling, are currently being conducted to confirm present estimates of the size and quality of the resources which we believe will support an industrial Spodumene operation similar in size to our existing Brazilian operations. The industrial plant will be pursued subject to permitting from the relevant Portuguese authorities and other concerned stakeholders, the successful operation of the pilot plant, and confirmation of the available resource base.
Fabiano Costa, President of AMG Brazil, commented, “The intended joint venture is targeting the development of a lithium operation similar to AMG Brazil. Producing spodumene concentrate in Europe is a key part of AMG Lithium’s overall integration strategy.”
