MP Materials (NYSE: MP) is rebuilding the American rare earth supply chain. From our operations in California and Texas, we produce the materials and magnets that power technologies critical to modern life, economic competitiveness, and national security. At Mountain Pass, California, we operate one of the world's richest rare earth deposits and the second-largest rare earth mine globally. There, we mine, process, separate, and refine rare earth materials. In Texas, we manufacture high-performance rare earth magnets at our Independence facility, bringing a critical industrial capability back to the United States. We are expanding those capabilities through investments in additional refining capacity, recycling circuits, and larger-scale magnet manufacturing. Construction is underway on 10X, our second U.S. magnetics facility, which will further scale domestic production and help meet growing demand from industry. MP Materials serves leading customers across technology, automotive, and defense, including Apple, General Motors, and the U.S. Department of War. Our mission is straightforward: restore the full rare earth supply chain to the United States and strengthen the industrial foundation on which the next generation of American manufacturing will be built.

Building the world’s first sustainable magnet metal supply chain to meet burgeoning demand from EVs and offshore wind

Northern Minerals (ASX: NTU) is a mineral exploration and development company with interests in heavy rare earth (HRE) elements, specifically dysprosium, lutetium and terbium. Northern Minerals has large landholdings in Western Australia (WA) and the Northern Territory which are highly prospective for these elements. Through the development of its flagship project in WA, the Browns Range Project, Northern Minerals aims to be the first significant world producer of dysprosium outside of China. Dysprosium is a key element in high performance permanent magnets, it makes them more powerful and more efficient. These characteristics are essential in achieving optimal performance in energy intense applications such as hybrid and electric vehicles, and wind turbines. Northern Minerals will develop the Browns Range Project in three stages, stage one will involve building a 60,000tpa pilot plant at Browns Range, stage two will include completing project development studies and undertaking the engineering and design to a BFS level, and stage three will be to build the full scale project. Northern Minerals is powered by a team of experienced, motivated and dedicated people. Our business culture is driven through a set of values we characterise as SPIRIT: safety, people, integrity, results, initiative and teams. Our team is committed to developing Northern Minerals interests in a responsible and ethical manner to ensure all stakeholders benefit from our operations.
