Disciplined Leadership, Investor-Aligned Execution Board

EcoMetals is led by a lean, mission-driven team of founders and board members who treat every dollar as a strategic investment in long-term value. We operate with precision, prioritizing milestone-based execution, eliminating unnecessary overhead, and deploying capital only where it delivers measurable impact.

Our leadership blends the agility of a startup with the hard-won experience of seasoned professionals who have successfully built, scaled, and financed ventures across mining, clean technology, and global capital markets.

To strengthen our execution, the Co-Founder receives ongoing mentorship from Silicon Valley operators recognized for their ability to guide founders, prevent operational drift, and protect shareholder value. This ongoing strategic feedback ensures our vision remains sharp, realistic, and resilient.

Behind our team is a world-class Strategic Advisory Board—senior experts in finance, capital raising, metallurgy, chemical engineering, and ESG. While they choose to work behind the scenes, their role is far from passive. These advisors actively shape our technical roadmap, evaluate risk, and strengthen our commercial and financial strategy to meet global standards.

This structure gives investors the best of both worlds:

✅ Agile leadership with real-world execution skills

From Agricultural Ambition to Critical Mineral Breakthrough

What began as a visionary plan to transform 80 hectares of land in South Palawan into a sustainable agri-hub—led by Ingrid Honrado and Elexa Land Development CEO Helen, took an unexpected and game-changing turn.

Geological and laboratory assessments, conducted in collaboration with the University of the Philippines and Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA), revealed that the land was not viable for long-term agriculture. But beneath the surface lay something far more valuable: vast deposits of nickeliferous laterite ore, rich in critical minerals essential for today’s high-growth industries.

These minerals—used in OEM semiconductors, electric vehicle batteries, strategic defense and aerospace systems, medical monitoring devices, and advanced prosthetics—are in skyrocketing demand amid global efforts to secure resilient, sustainable supply chains.

Instead of abandoning the site, EcoMetals turned this challenge into a high-impact opportunity: the creation of a modular, scalable process plant designed to extract and refine these strategic resources locally. This not only unlocks immense export potential but also positions the Philippines at the heart of the global clean tech and critical materials movement.

More importantly, the project is engineered to reduce energy costs, create skilled jobs, and deliver inclusive economic growth—starting in South Palawan and extending across the archipelago.

For forward-looking investors, this is not just a project, it's a first-mover opportunity to shape the future of strategic materials in Southeast Asia.
