[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.

India to build a six-month strategic stockpile of lithium, cobalt and rare earths as demand rises

Amid sustained demand growth, India plans to build a strategic reserve of critical minerals including lithium, cobalt, nickel, copper and rare earths. The stockpile will be sized to cover six months of domestic consumption, aiming to guard against risks of global supply disruptions and sharp raw material price volatility. Led by India’s Ministry of Mines and Ministry of Heavy Industries, the reserve covers key raw materials essential for new energy vehicles, energy storage and the electronics sector, fields where India currently relies heavily on imports. At present, the United States, China, South Korea and other countries have already established strategic reserve systems for critical minerals.
