USA Rare Earth has completed its business combination with Inflection Point Acquisition Corp. (IPXX). Inflection Point is a special purpose acquisition company.
USA Rare Earth has a unique opportunity to become the leading domestic supplier of rare earth neo magnets and heavy rare earths required for technologies across a wide range of industries, including semiconductors, defense, robotics, electric vehicles, and energy transition among others.
“The recent news on tariffs and rising global geopolitical tensions are a wake-up call for America — we must build a domestic rare earth mineral and magnet supply chain here at home to support a wide range of critical technologies, including our national defense,” said Joshua Ballard, USA Rare Earth’s CEO.
“I’m incredibly proud of this team as the closing of this transaction and our listing on Nasdaq is another key milestone in our evolution in building this supply chain. The additional capital raised will help propel us forward as we build one of the largest magnet facilities in North America to serve the wider neo magnet market, as well as develop our incredibly unique deposit at Round Top that, in my opinion, is a strategic national asset,” added Ballard.
“The public listing of USA Rare Earth marks a significant milestone for our company, our customers, and U.S. national security. The company’s strategic vision to return the USA to domestic rare earth magnetic production is now one step closer. We look forward to working closely with our experienced management team and shareholder and government constituents to build a strategic national asset,” added Michael Blitzer, CEO of IPXX.
USA Rare Earth is currently building the first phase of its neo magnet facility in Stillwater, Oklahoma which is expected to be operational in early 2026. This first phase is targeting a production capacity of 1,200 metric tons per annum and will serve a diverse set of customers and industries. The company plans to expand capacity to nearly 5,000 tpa in future phases, to become one of the largest manufacturers in North America.
USARE intends to ultimately supply its magnet production from its control of the mining rights to the Round Top Mountain deposit in West Texas.
Round Top is an above-ground mineral deposit containing at least 15 of the 17 rare earth elements, plus gallium, beryllium and other critical tech minerals. The company has successfully piloted proprietary rare earth separation technology, which it plans to deploy once mining at Round Top begins.
USA Rare Earth is building a domestic rare earth magnet supply chain. USARE is constructing a rare earth neo magnet manufacturing facility in Stillwater, Oklahoma. USARE also controls mining rights to the Round Top-heavy rare earth and critical minerals deposit in West Texas, which holds significant deposits of heavy rare earth minerals, such as dysprosium and terbium, as well as other critical tech metals such as gallium, beryllium, lithium, and other critical minerals. USARE’s magnets and rare earth minerals are required for a wide variety of products used in the defense, automotive, aviation, industrial, medical, and consumer electronics industries.
