US rare earth company REalloys announced that it is partnering with the Saskatchewan Research Council (SRC) of Canada to build a heavy rare earth metal facility. The equipment will be built at SRC’s Saskatoon plant and, after commissioning, relocated to Ohio to supply dysprosium and terbium to clients in the US defense industrial base and to the Defense Logistics Agency’s strategic reserves.
The facility will cost $40 million and is expected to produce 30 mt of dysprosium metal and 15 mt of terbium metal annually. Initial operations are targeted for early to mid-2027, with full commercial operations expected from mid-2027 to year-end.
