AUSTIN, TX\u00a0\u2013\u00a0AMERMIN,\u00a0the domestic leader in the acquisition and refinement of critical\u00a0minerals,\u00a0and\u00a0Ulterra\u00a0Drilling Technologies, L.P.,\u00a0(\u201cUlterra\u201d)\u00a0a\u00a0leading supplier of\u00a0polycrystalline diamond compact (PDC) drill bits\u00a0worldwide,\u00a0today\u00a0announced\u00a0an international expansion of\u00a0their\u00a0existing\u00a0partnership to\u00a0strategically recycle\u00a0critical\u00a0minerals.<\/p>\n

Through this\u00a0expansion,\u00a0AMERMIN\u00a0will\u00a0process\u00a0Ulterra\u2019s\u00a0waste streams from\u00a0Argentina\u00a0and Canada\u00a0in addition to\u00a0materials from their U.S.-based operations.\u00a0The collaboration\u00a0builds upon a three-year relationship between\u00a0two leading innovators\u00a0and highlights\u00a0both companies\u2019 commitment to\u00a0sustainability.<\/p>\n

\u201cReducing dependence on geopolitically complex supply chains for critical minerals is a strategic priority for the United States,\u201d said Ryan McAdams, CEO of AMERMIN. \u201cBuilding resilient, allied supply networks, alongside scaling domestic and international recycling, will be key to meeting the growing demand for advanced technologies. Our expanded partnership with Texas-based Ulterra supports the recovery of critical minerals from trusted partners, strengthening both supply security and sustainability.\u201d<\/p>\n

Together,\u00a0the\u00a0Texas-based\u00a0companies recycle more than 21 waste streams, including\u00a0tungsten,\u00a0cobalt,\u00a0copper,\u00a0nickel,\u00a0zinc,\u00a0silver,\u00a0carbon,\u00a0iron,\u00a0manganese, blast media,\u00a0and\u00a0synthetic and industrial\u00a0diamond.\u00a0By recovering and reprocessing end-of-life\u00a0materials into manufacturing-grade inputs, AMERMIN is helping build a more resilient, domestic supply of critical minerals\u2014reducing reliance on high-risk supply chains while extending the lifecycle of key resources.<\/p>\n

\u201cUlterra is committed to delivering consistent performance while driving continuous improvement across our operations,\u201d said Brian Hilburn, VP Supply Chain & QHSE for Ulterra. \u201cOur partnership with AMERMIN demonstrates how investments in recycling and material recovery can reduce costs, strengthen supply chain reliability, and create long-term value. By reintegrating critical minerals into the manufacturing cycle, we\u2019re advancing operational efficiency and circularity as we expand our collaboration.\u201d<\/p>\n

In 2025, AMERMIN recycled more than 1.4 million pounds of material from Ulterra, returning more than $1.7 million in value to Ulterra.\u00a0<\/p>\n
