ReElement, POSCO International Launch $200M JV for US Rare Earth & Magnet Supply Chain
Summary
American Resources' minority holding, ReElement Technologies, formed a $200 million joint venture with POSCO International to establish integrated rare earth and permanent magnet production in the United States. This significant investment aims to create an end-to-end domestic supply chain, targeting 3,000 metric tons per annum by 2028 and 6,000 MTPA by 2030. The partnership builds on ReElement's prior collaboration with Mitsubishi and an existing agreement with POSCO, further solidifying its strategic position in critical minerals.
