    USA Rare Earth breaks ground on $1.2B magnet manufacturing complex

    Question

    USA Rare Earth breaks ground on $1.2B magnet manufacturing complex

    Direct answer

    USA Rare Earth broke ground on a $1.2 billion rare-earth metal and permanent magnet manufacturing complex in South Carolina. The facility is designed to convert raw extracted minerals into finished sintered magnets used in electronics, electric vehicles, and defense components. The project is designed to operate as a vertically integrated domestic supply chain in combination with the company's mineral deposits in Texas and Brazil. If completed according to plan, the plant provides Western original equipment manufacturers an alternative to foreign magnet suppliers.
