Summary

 United Rare Earths continues to advance development of its rare earth processing and recycling facility in Caryville, Tennessee. The project represents the first phase of the company’s strategy to establish domestic processing capacity focused on the separation, refining, and recovery of rare earth materials.

The facility is designed to support the recovery of rare earth elements from permanent magnets and other feedstocks while laying the foundation for future expansion of processing infrastructure. The project is expected to create new economic opportunities in the region while supporting the growth of critical mineral supply chains.

Why It Matters

Processing capacity remains one of the most constrained segments of the global rare earth supply chain. Advancing site development and construction planning represents an important step toward expanding the infrastructure required to separate, refine, and recover critical materials.

For United Rare Earths, the Caryville project serves as the foundation for a broader strategy focused on building processing capacity, supporting supply chain resilience, and creating new pathways for rare earth recycling and recovery within the United States.
