Radify Metals provides modular, AI‑controlled plasma reactors that can be installed at ore extraction sites or manufacturing facilities to refine metals, including rare earth elements, on demand. The element‑agnostic system delivers >99.9% purity metal with water‑vapor as the sole by‑product, minimizing logistics and hazardous waste. Revenue is generated through direct metal sales and licensing of the reactor hardware, AI software, and related services.

Problem
Industrial producers and downstream manufacturers depend on imported refined metals, especially rare earth elements, creating supply‑chain fragility and exposing operations to geopolitical risk. Conventional smelting and leaching processes also generate hazardous waste and require extensive logistics for ore transport and off‑site refining.
Solution
Radify Metals delivers a modular plasma‑reactor platform that can be installed directly at ore extraction sites or manufacturing facilities to produce high‑purity refined metals on demand. The system’s element‑agnostic reactor architecture pivots across the periodic table, allowing real‑time adjustment of production mixes to match market needs. AI‑instrumented plasma controls continuously tune temperature, pressure, and ionization parameters, maintaining target purity and yield without manual intervention. Because the plasma process reduces ore to metal and water vapor, the only by‑product is benign steam, eliminating toxic leachates and minimizing environmental compliance costs. Modular units are factory‑tested and can be commissioned within months, shortening the lead time from project start to metal output and reducing logistics overhead associated with bulk ore shipment.
Target Audience
Primary customers are industrial metal producers, defense and aerospace manufacturers, and electronics or renewable‑energy firms that require domestic, high‑purity rare‑earth and specialty metals with minimal environmental footprint.
Features
- Element‑agnostic plasma reactor core capable of processing ores for any metallic element, from base metals to rare earths.
