USA Rare Earth Targets Global Supply Chain With US$2.8 Billion Serra Verde Acquisition and US Backing USA Rare Earth agreed to acquire 100% of Brazil’s Serra Verde Group in a cash-and-stock transaction valued at US$2.8b, with the goal of creating a fully integrated mine-to-magnet rare earth company operating across several countries.
The Serra Verde deal includes roughly US$300m in cash, 126.8 million new USA Rare Earth shares, and a 15-year offtake arrangement that features price floor guarantees backed by U.S. government agencies and private capital.
USA Rare Earth secured a US$1.6b funding agreement with the U.S. Department of Commerce and is participating in the Project Vault initiative, which involves U.S. government equity stakes in domestic rare earth developers.
China’s restrictions on rare earth exports have highlighted U.S. supply chain fragility, and companies such as USA Rare Earth are working to build Western processing capacity despite profitability challenges in domestic mining.
The combination of the Serra Verde acquisition, long-term offtake agreements, and U.S. government funding positions the company as a central player in efforts to build a non-Asian rare earth supply chain that spans mining through magnet production.
Investors may wish to weigh this growing government and defense exposure against execution risks related to integrating Serra Verde, meeting offtake commitments, and operating in a sector where economic viability has been difficult. Duyuru • May 07

USA Rare Earth, Inc. Commissions Phase 1a Magnet Production Line At Stillwater Facility USA Rare Earth, Inc. announced the successful commissioning of its commercial magnet production line (Phase 1a) at its facility in Stillwater, Oklahoma. This enables the Company to begin fulfilling customer orders for sintered neodymium-iron-boron (NdFeB) permanent magnets in the second quarter of 2026. Commissioning is a critical step in validating any manufacturing line for commercial production at scale. In this case, it represents the consistent, successful achievement of a complex, multi-step process to make commercial-grade permanent magnets. It begins with the formation of rare earth and metallic elements into a powder, then jet milling this powder to 3-5 microns in size (around 20 times finer than a human hair) in an oxygen-restricted environment. This extremely fine powder is “wet pressed” into large blocks, which are then machined, coated and magnetized to form the final product: high-grade permanent magnets that are essential to the aerospace and defense, semiconductor, energy, data center, physical AI, mobility, healthcare and numerous industrial sectors, particularly where reliability at very high temperatures is required. This process is managed from start to finish by the more than 100 employees of USAR’s Stillwater facility. Phase 1a is expected to ramp to a run rate capacity of 600 mtpa by the end of Fourth Quarter 2026. Combined with the production expected from the next line (Phase 1b), USAR anticipates total active production capacity at Stillwater of 1,200 mtpa in First Quarter 2027. Duyuru • Mar 13

USA Rare Earth Accelerates Timeline for Round Top Deposit Commercial Production by Two Years USA Rare Earth, Inc. announced a significant acceleration of the commercialization timeline for its Round Top heavy rare earth deposit in Texas. The Company now plans to begin commercial production in late 2028, two years earlier than previously anticipated. Round Top is the United States' richest known deposit of heavy rare earth elements,gallium, and beryllium, and is a cornerstone of USAR's integrated mine-to-magnet value chain. That value chain also includes a 310,000 sq ft. magnet manufacturing facility in Stillwater, Oklahoma, which is expected to be the largest metal-and-alloy-making and strip-casting capability outside of China, and a processing and separation laboratory in Wheat Ridge, Colorado. USAR has accelerated the planned commercialization timeline for Round Top because it expects to begin operating its Hydromet demonstration facility in Colorado early in 2026, based on the promising results of its recent and ongoing SX piloting. The Hydromet facility will operate five solvent-extraction (SX) circuits continuously, for 2,000 to 4,000 hours, to generate the operational data required to proceed with commercial plant design. These circuits will target heavy rare earth elements, particularly dysprosium (Dy) and terbium (Tb), which are essential for high-performance permanent magnets, while also extracting additional critical minerals includingafnium and zirconium. This novel parallel-process approach is expected to save the Company tens of millions of dollars, while enabling USAR to complete its definitive feasibility study (DFS) by early 2027. Earlier completion of the DFS would allow USAR to move into commercial production at Round Top by late 2028. Accelerating these milestones allows USAR to extract value from the Round Top deposit sooner and underscores its disciplined execution, technical leadership, and commitment to building a resilient, fully integrated U.S. rare earth supply chain.
