Insights
ReElement's achievement in domestic rare earth refining creates strategic supply chain advantages with significant commercial and defense implications.
ReElement's announcement represents a significant technological breakthrough in the U.S. critical minerals landscape. The company has achieved what few others have managed: economically viable domestic refining of high-purity rare earth elements (REEs) at 99.99%-99.999% purity levels. This is technically challenging and traditionally dominated by Chinese refiners.
Their focus on heavy rare earth elements is particularly noteworthy. Elements like Terbium and Gadolinium are crucial for defense applications and advanced manufacturing but have been almost exclusively refined in Asia. The ability to process both recycled content and virgin ores demonstrates remarkable technical versatility in their chromatographic separation platform.
What sets their technology apart is the aqueous chemistry approach, eliminating hazardous organic solvents typically used in traditional solvent extraction. This provides environmental advantages while simultaneously lowering operating costs. Their modular chromatography system replaces the hundreds of mixer-settlers required in conventional separation processes, dramatically reducing capital expenditure requirements for scaling.
The transition from their Noblesville facility (200 metric ton capacity) to the much larger Marion facility (4,400 metric ton capacity) in 2026 represents a 22x increase in potential production volume. Their claim of 90%+ recovery rates from recycled material is impressive, as yields are typically a major challenge in REE processing.
The ability to price competitively with the Asian Metal Index while maintaining U.S. production is a remarkable achievement, considering historically higher domestic operating costs. Their innovative tolling model for customer-capitalized production lines demonstrates a creative approach to financing expansion while securing long-term contracts.
ReElement is currently producing high purity products from both recycled content and virgin ores, specifically heavy rare earth and defense-critical elements in the U.S.
Current focus of high purity outputs are Yttrium (Y), Gadolinium (Gd), Samarium (Sm) Germanium (Ge), Gallium (Ga) and Terbium (Tb), all competitively priced with Asian Metal index
ReElement's multi-mineral, multi-feedstock refining platform is the only rare earth oxide and defense mineral producer able to economically separate and refine heavy rare earth elements in the U.S.
