About ReElement Technologies
ReElement Technologies develops chromatography-based refining for rare-earth elements, lithium and other critical battery materials. Its columns separate and purify concentrates from mineral ores, brines, recycled magnets, battery black mass and manufacturing waste into technical-grade oxides, hydroxides, carbonates and sulphates.
The platform scales by adding columns and can be installed within an existing processing site or delivered as a compact decentralised plant. ReElement pairs feedstock modelling with preprocessing, separation and post-processing, and offers refining as a service for partner waste streams. Facilities in Indiana support commercialisation and expansion toward larger-volume magnet and battery-material production.

Timeline
Events
- 2026-07-13 - Award - Department of War invests USD 25 million in ReElement expansion
The agreement funds equipment, installation and working capital for domestic rare-earth and defence-critical mineral refining. The expanded lines will process end-of-life magnets and other recycled feedstocks into high-purity rare-earth oxides, yttrium, gadolinium, germanium and gallium. The agreement includes safeguards restricting transactions with foreign entities of concern and is government industrial-base support, not an equity round.
Source - 2026-05-21 - Partnership - ReElement and POSCO International agree USD 200 million U.S. joint venture
The companies signed the agreement on May 21, with POSCO International set to lead the venture as majority shareholder and ReElement supplying separation technology. The planned plant targets 3,000 tonnes of annual first-phase capacity and 6,000 tonnes after expansion. Pilot production is planned for late 2027 and mass production for 2028, so the milestone is an announced project rather than an operating facility.
Source - 2025-11-26 - Partnership - ERI and ReElement form rare-earth magnet recovery partnership
ERI’s eight U.S. processing facilities provide the collection and preprocessing network. ReElement receives the prepared feedstock at its Indiana refining operations. The agreement targets recovery of magnet materials from electronics for domestic commercial and defense supply chains.
Source - 2025-11-21 - Market Signal - ReElement receives conditional USD 80 million federal loan commitment
The wider USD 700 million conditional commitment allocated USD 620 million to Vulcan Elements and USD 80 million to ReElement. The proposed financing supports U.S. rare-earth separation, metallization and NdFeB magnet manufacturing capacity. No funds were disbursed at announcement; the commitment remained subject to financial, legal, technical and other closing conditions.
Source - 2025-09-03 - Award - Department of War awards ReElement USD 2 million programme investment
The award date was September 3, 2025; the government announcement was delayed until February 2026 by the shutdown. The IBAS-funded programme supports processing ores, recycled magnets and manufacturing waste at ReElement Marion, Indiana facility. The work targets high-purity neodymium, praseodymium, dysprosium and terbium oxides used in defence, autonomous systems and advanced magnets.

ReElement supplies separated rare-earth oxides for Vulcan’s NdFeB magnet manufacturing. The agreement connects upstream recycling and refining with downstream permanent-magnet production. The companies described the arrangement as a domestic mine-to-magnet supply-chain step.
