Market opportunity

A strategic market, structurally undersupplied.

The United States needs rare earth magnets for its energy, defence and technology industries — and today most of that supply depends on a single country. That gap is the opportunity RARE53 is built for.

01 · The metals

Small elements, critical systems.

Neodymium and praseodymium are the core of NdFeB permanent magnets — the strongest magnets in commercial use. Heavy rare earths such as dysprosium and terbium keep them working at high temperatures.

02 · Concentration

The further down the chain, the more concentrated the supply.

Share held by the single largest producing country, by stage of the magnet rare earth supply chain. The more concentrated the supply, the greater the risk to the industries — and the national security — that depend on it.

03 · US exposure

The US mines rare earths. It still imports most of what it uses.

The bottleneck is not only the mine — it is secure, separated feedstock and the midstream capacity to turn it into metals and magnets.

04 · Why now

Eighteen months that changed the market.

APR 2025

Export restrictions

The dominant supplier restricts exports of seven rare earths — including dysprosium and terbium — and related magnets.

JUN 2025

Supply shock

Automotive production disruptions are reported across the US, Europe and Japan.

JUL 2025

US government support

The Department of Defense partners with a domestic producer, including an equity stake, a 10-year US$110/kg NdPr price floor and magnet offtake.

OCT–NOV 2025

Wider restrictions, then a pause

Broader export restrictions are announced, then suspended for one year. The April 2025 measures remain in place.

2026

A national priority

More than US$7.3 billion committed across US agencies to mining, processing and magnet capacity at home and with partners.

05 · Demand outlook

Demand is rising. New plants need feed.

New magnet capacity is being built across the US and partner countries. Every new plant needs a reliable, diversified source of Nd–Pr.

06 · Where RARE53 fits

New supply starts with new resources.

Stable jurisdictions

We focus on stable, mining-friendly countries across the Americas, close to the US market.

Early-stage focus

The scarcest link is new, well-defined resources. That is where we work — and where value is created.

Built for the US market

A US-based company, structured to access US capital, government programs and magnet-industry buyers.
