Coming Soon

BlueShift is a processing-first, minerals developer and operator

Unleashing civilizational technological progress

BlueShift builds a versatile mining platform delivering lower costs and lead times, starting with rare earth refining.

Paradigm we intend to shift:
Advanced nuclear, space, AI Infrastructure—all need atoms, not just code. Today, engineers are held back by material scarcity and settle for suboptimal materials. That needs to change.

Problem:

Declining Ore grades

Copper will have a 10 million ton shortfall by 2040

LEAD-TIME

​Developing new mining projects takes 3 decades​

High Upfront Cost

Profile of incumbent majors are incompatible with smaller, critical markets​

Acid and Base costs

Acid/base and labor cost are now 50% of total cost​

Solution:

Reducing lead-times and cost of mineral processing to increase critical mineral abundance.

efficient:

Low Variable O&M process preserving margins at scale

Autonomous:

Automated, modular operation, integrating IoT and AI

Intelligent:

Intelligence based planning reduces lead-times by >7x

Our name reflects our urgency. We are shifting the spectrum. Faster deployment. Domestic strength. Circular systems. That’s the BlueShift mission.

Accelerating Economic Resilience

BlueShift unlocks underutilized resources with advanced electrochemical technology.

Insecure Domestic Supply

90% of Trillion Dollar Industries depend on critical mineral supply controlled by foreign entities.

700 Million Tons of Toxic Waste

Current critical mineral extraction methods rely on hazardous chemicals in poorly regulated foreign markets.

3 Billion Tons of Untapped Potential

Waste from just the coal industry is a major liability, yet this untapped resource holds decades' worth of critical minerals.

Uneconomical

Past projects have struggled to scale due to poor economics principally due to high energy and capital intensity.

Vision

Our mission is to enable rapidly scalable critical mineral supply chains and cost-effective carbon dioxide removal. We accelerate economic resilience by unlocking underutilized resources with our advanced electrochemical technology.

Products

High Purity Rare Earth Oxides

NdPr Oxide
Dy Oxide

Products

Nickel and Rare
Earth Elements

We extract these critical minerals for modern technologies from industrial wastes such as mine tailings and coal fly ash economically and domestically.

High Purity
Carbonates

We mineralize CO2 from the ocean with calcium and magnesium from industrial waste to produce carbonates for cosmetics, paints, and other commodities.

De-Carbonated
Seawater

After removing carbon dioxide, we return seawater to the ocean where it pulls more carbon out of the atmosphere, reducing atmospheric CO2 levels and locally reversing ocean acidification.

Products in Development

Dysprosium
Neodymium
Other Rare Earth Metals
Aggregates

Technology

We are building processing-first mining by integrating autonomous, modular electrochemical process and intelligence software stack to deliver > 7X lower costs and development times, starting with rare earth refining.
