description: >-
  Nth Cycle is a critical mineral refining company headquartered in Beverly, Massachusetts, that
  recovers production-grade nickel, cobalt, copper and rare earth elements from mined ore, low-grade
  tailings and recycled industrial scrap. Its patented OYSTER platform uses electro-extraction — an
  alternative to conventional hydrometallurgy and pyrometallurgy that combines electrochemistry,
  filtration and chemical precipitation into a single continuous, closed-loop architecture — to
  deliver modular refining at roughly 70% lower capital intensity, 75% less waste, and economic
  viability at 5-10x smaller scale than a centralized refinery. Systems install inside existing
  buildings and can be deployed in as little as two years including permitting, under licensing,
  build-own-operate tolling, or multi-feedstock off-take models. The company operates the first
  domestic commercial-scale nickel and cobalt scrap refining system in Fairfield, Ohio, holds a
  $1.1 billion offtake agreement with Trafigura, was selected by the U.S. Department of Energy for
  award negotiations of up to $100 million toward a new critical mineral refining facility, and has
  announced a NYSE listing via business combination with Kensington Capital Acquisition Corp. VI.

    Nth Cycle refines physical metal — its product is nickel, cobalt, copper and rare earth output
    from the OYSTER electro-extraction system — and its entire web presence is a 16-page Framer
    marketing site whose sitemap contains no developer, docs or API page; no api./docs./developer./app.
    subdomain resolves in DNS, and the company GitHub organization publishes zero public repositories.
