Policy tailwind, not a bet on price
Demand is underwritten by national-security mandates to onshore critical-mineral processing — a structural driver that persists across commodity-price cycles.
Governments are re-shoring critical-mineral supply chains and paying to do it. Terradyne is the processing layer that makes it economic — a software-defined, continuous-flow platform that turns abrasive, stranded tailings into defense- and commercial-grade material, without decade-long infrastructure.
Mining a critical mineral is not the same as supplying it. Separation and refining remain concentrated offshore, and that is exactly where policy capital — DPA Title III, DOE, allied-nation programs — is now flowing.
Demand is underwritten by national-security mandates to onshore critical-mineral processing — a structural driver that persists across commodity-price cycles.
The advantage is layered: proprietary process physics, the FORGE control platform, and captive feedstock from within the 1635 ecosystem — not a single, copyable feature.
Modular, relocatable units replace fixed, decade-long leach infrastructure — compressing capital timelines and letting the asset follow the feedstock and the demand.
Continuous-flow density stratification and non-thermal kinetics are protected under our patent filings — geometries, setpoints, and reagent chemistry held as trade secret and disclosed only under NDA.
The platform reads a site's geological profile and orchestrates the extraction envelope. The software — not just the hardware — is what makes each deployment fast to qualify and hard to replicate.
Access to previously mined ore and tailings within the 1635 Resources ecosystem gives Terradyne a de-risked, low-cost feed source that a standalone processor cannot easily assemble.
Abrasive tailings that foul conventional equipment and sit as a remediation liability are precisely what our platform is engineered to process. We partner to monetize stranded material — on your site or ours.
Terradyne is the processing layer inside a vertically integrated, U.S.-owned chain. Value compounds across feedstock, processing, and forward-deployable manufacturing.
Terradyne Materials Technology is a venture of 1635 Resources LLC — an American-owned defense supply-chain company and approved U.S. Government / DLA contractor. 1635 provides the capital structure, government-contracting standing, and feedstock base that de-risk the platform and give it a channel most early-stage ventures cannot claim.
American-owned; 1635 Capital Partners LLC investment vehicle.
Approved U.S. Government / DLA contractor.
Re-harvesting previously mined ore and tailings.
Previously mined ore and tailings — a captive, de-risked feed source.
Software-defined, continuous-flow extraction of critical and precious minerals.
Forward-deployable manufacturing and downstream qualification.
A single polymetallic feed yields multiple value streams — across rare earths, precious metals, and defense-critical transition metals.
We do not oversell. Terradyne is in applied research and development, spanning TRL 1–3. The investment thesis is category creation with a clear, milestone-driven route to demonstration and pilot.
Core stratification, non-thermal kinetics, and reagent-stability behavior demonstrated at lab scale under defined conditions.
Integrating the three stages on a continuous-flow skid, with instrumented recovery and purity data on representative feedstock.
Program- and partner-funded field pilot toward qualification and modular scale-out. Milestones defined; timing subject to funding.
Terradyne is led from within the 1635 Resources ecosystem — decades of mining due-diligence, metallurgical testing, project delivery, and defense-contractor operations, with an active IP program.
The rare combination that makes this fundable:
Re-shoring mandates, not commodity speculation.
Physics + software + captive feedstock.
Skids compress capital timelines.
