The Story of Reformation Metals

In 2024, The Royal Mint partnered with Canadian clean tech company Excir to implement their historic, world-first process for the chemical reclamation of precious metals. From this, Reformation Metals was born.

The partnership with Excir deepened further in 2025, when The Royal Mint made a significant investment in the company.

Together, as Reformation Metals, we are taking the steps to create a circular economy for precious metals, tackling the issue of PCB recycling head-on, and pushing for a sustainable future.

Together, we are transforming waste into valuable resources and driving a more sustainable future.
