Who we are
We are on a mission to become a leading supplier of critical materials that enable the green energy and technology revolution. Our materials and technologies are required for the electric vehicle, green energy, consumer electronics, and defense industries, and our battery-grade lithium and tech metals are needed for chipsets, semiconductors, and 5G.
We have a substantial interest in the Round Top Heavy Rare Earth Lithium and Critical Minerals deposit in West Texas. We have also developed the United States first rare earth and critical minerals processing facility and we own the only scalable sintered neo-magnet manufacturing system in the Western Hemisphere. By developing this fully integrated US-based mine-to-magnet" critical mineral supply chain, we are poised to become the leading domestic supplier to these industries.
