    USA Rare Earth Breaks Ground on $1.2B Magnet Facility in South Carolina

    Question

    USA Rare Earth Breaks Ground on $1.2B Magnet Facility in South Carolina

    Direct answer

    USA Rare Earth commenced construction on its $1.2 billion manufacturing complex in South Carolina. The site will scale production of critical rare-earth elements and high-performance permanent magnets, addressing acute domestic supply security mandates across defense and industrial sectors. The company aims to reach full run-rate production of 10,000 metric tons of permanent magnets and 10,000 metric tons of strip-cast metal annually by 2029. Success will depend on executing commercial-scale metallurgical refining and securing multi-year domestic off-take agreements.
