American Rare Earths has started operations at a small-scale pilot plant in the US to produce neodymium and praseodymium (NdPr) oxide and metal from Halleck Creek ore. This initiative aims to develop the midstream processing step from oxide to metal, a critical bottleneck currently dominated by China, supporting US supply chain independence. The program includes laboratory verification, continuous pilot production of purified NdPr oxide, and conversion to NdPr metal, with results expected by Q1 2027 to guide a larger demonstration plant. This marks a significant step toward establishing a vertically integrated rare earth supply chain within the US.
