In Wyoming, where the horizon doesn’t just stretch, it dares you to match it, DISA Technologies just pulled in a $30 million Series A2 round that’s about more than money. This is about owning the mineral recovery game and cleaning up a mess the U.S. has been kicking down the road for decades. Led by Evok Innovations with a cornerstone shot from Constellation Technology Ventures, this raise isn’t just capital, it’s a statement. When America’s largest producer of emissions free energy leans in, the market listens. Valor Equity Partners, Veriten, and Halliburton Labs joined the table, and suddenly the conversation shifts from “if” to “how far, how fast.”
Founded in 2018 by Greyson Buckingham and John Lee, two University of Wyoming MBA grads who took an idea forged in the mountains and turned it into a globally deployed technology, DISA Technologies is now positioned to be the first licensed provider for abandoned uranium mine cleanup in the U.S. And they’re doing it while helping major operators like BHP, Rio Tinto, Newmont, and Freeport-McMoRan pull more copper, nickel, rare earths, and phosphate out of ore. The same patented High-Pressure Slurry Ablation (HPSA) tech that strips uranium contamination by up to 98 percent also cuts mineral processing energy costs and waste. No grinding media, no bloated power bills, just particle-to-particle collisions at 100 tons per hour.
From eight employees in early 2024 to 45 by mid-2025, with plans to add 37 more, this is a scale-up with Wyoming roots and global reach. Units are built in Casper, shipped to sites in Australia, Canada, Mexico, and Brazil, and integrated into production at places like Lundin Mining’s Eagle Mine in Michigan. They’re even working the phosphate circuit with a 50 TPH unit already online. Add in a memorandum of understanding with the Navajo Nation EPA for a Phase 2 commercial-scale demonstration, and you see the scope: cleanup and commerce can work together.
The $8.5 million Wyoming Energy Authority grant backs “Project Liberate,” which will build and deploy 10 commercial units, plug 20 new local vendors into the supply chain, and push $140 million in economic impact over five years. It’s a model where uranium remediation funds itself through the recovery of valuable materials, taxpayers don’t foot the bill, the market does.
Greyson Buckingham is steering the vision, John Lee is engineering the delivery, and with Ricardo Garib, ex-President of The Weir Group’s Minerals Division, on the board, DISA Technologies has operational credibility baked in. This round accelerates their NRC licensing push, scales manufacturing, and tightens the gap between technology promise and market adoption. In an industry where talk is cheap but equipment is capital-intensive, $30 million buys speed, reach, and a bigger share of the mineral recovery future.
