[SMM Breaking News: US Rare Earth Company Signs Strategic Agreement with Japanese Government] US rare earth developer REAlloys Inc. has formed a strategic alliance with the Japanese Organization for Metals and Energy Security (JOGMEC). As a government agency under Japan's Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry (METI), JOGMEC is tasked with ensuring the security of Japan's industrial supply chains. According to the signed memorandum of understanding, JOGMEC, on behalf of METI, will facilitate the licensing and transfer of Japanese separation and magnet manufacturing technologies to REAlloys' North American facilities. This initiative is expected to rapidly scale up high performance magnet production. The agreement includes structured off-take arrangements to ensure long-term, stable supply of rare earth alloys and magnets for Japanese manufacturers. In exchange, REAlloys will allocate a portion of its scandium and yttrium production from Hoidas Lake and secondary monazite sources to Japan, while guaranteeing that supplies for US defense and energy projects remain unaffected.

Pr-Nd alloy prices fell 0.8% WoW to 917,500 yuan/mt as weaker raw material prices and sluggish downstream demand weighed on the market. Despite a late-week rebound in raw materials, buying interest remained weak. Producers posted their first loss of the year, with margins falling to -1,076 yuan/mt due to tight Pr-Nd oxide supply and oversupplied alloy. Near-term prices are expected to remain rangebound amid firm costs but weak demand and cautious restocking.

Sprott Asset Management’s research suggests that Western countries are investing billions of dollars to restructure supply chains to meet rare earth demand from national defense and clean energy, but artificial intelligence (AI) is unexpectedly becoming a new driver of rare earth demand growth. The Toronto-based investment management firm said AI has now joined national defense and electrification as the third driver of rare earth demand growth, with the world’s top five hyperscale data center operators alone having pledged to invest $400 billion in 2025.
