The ReElement Marion facility is rapidly taking shape as a cornerstone of U.S. critical minerals processing.
This site will provide light and heavy rare earth separation and purification, along with refining capabilities for germanium, gallium, and other critical materials. The separation columns are currently being painted, and the foundations are being poured to erect them this month.
Once operational, it will be the only facility in the United States capable of separating and purifying both heavy rare earths (Tb, Dy, Y, Gd, Sm) and light rare earths, as well as germanium and gallium. The ability to separate Nd from NdPr is especially significant, as magnet chemistries vary widely and precise material specifications matter.
Meanwhile, at our Noblesville facility, we are processing germanium daily and refining ionic clay MREC sourced from Southeast Asia. Today, we are producing yttrium, gadolinium, and zirconium materials for a leading defense prime contractor.
Most importantly, we're doing it at costs substantially below current index pricing. Our goal is to help establish a competitive U.S. market index for these critical materials—one that is meaningfully lower than today's global benchmarks.
Building domestic supply chains. Strengthening national security. Creating a more competitive market for critical minerals.
