Phoenix Tailings Opens Rare Earth Metallization Facility 

February 3, 2026 Editorial Staff Comments Off on Phoenix Tailings Opens Rare Earth Metallization Facility 

Phoenix Tailings has opened one of the first rare earth metallization facilities in the USA with zero reliance on Chinese inputs, equipment or technology. Located in Exeter, New Hampshire, initially the plant will produce 200 tons of both light and heavy rare earth metals each year, with the capacity to scale to more than 1,000 tons per year. That capacity would be able to supply the entire U.S. defense industrial base, says the company. […]
