01 – THE CHALLENGE: CHINA DOMINANCE
China controls the metals that power the modern economy.
In 2024, China banned gallium and germanium exports to the U.S.
Ga, Ge and Si are essential to every semiconductor, every 5G system, every advanced weapon. The U.S. today produces none.
This isn't a trade inconvenience. It's a national security emergency.
02 — WHY NEW MINES WON’T SAVE US
The U.S. cannot mine its way out of this problem.

YEARS TO PERMIT
The supply crisis is now — not 2035.

GALLIUM & GERMANIUM MINES
Gallium is a byproduct of aluminum refining. Germanium is a byproduct of zinc smelting.

CAPEX REQUIRED TO SETUP PRIMARY INDUTRY
The U.S. no longer has an Aluminum or Zinc industry at scale.
03 — THE PHNX ANSWER
Don't mine it. Extract it from what's already been mined.
Billions of tons of industrial byproducts sit across America loaded with the same metals we import from China.
PHNX converts these waste streams into high-value products.
