USA Rare Earth to Start Commercial Magnet Shipments in April, Aiming for 1,200 mt Annual Capacity by 2027
USA Rare Earth will begin commercial shipments of magnets in April. According to a company statement, the first rare earth magnet production line at its Stillwater, Oklahoma facility has been put into operation and is expected to reach full capacity of 600 mt per year by month-end December. In January this year, USA Rare Earth signed a non-binding agreement with the US Department of Commerce and planned to receive $1.6 billion in funding support to build a mine, thereby providing raw material for its magnet production. USA Rare Earth said that by 2027, the capacity of its Oklahoma magnet plant should reach 1,200 mt per year.
