REalloys Receives Department of War Memorandum on Domestic Heavy Rare Earth Supply Ahead of 2027 Deadline

REalloys Inc. (NASDAQ: ALOY) announced that its leadership has received a formal memorandum from the Department of War, emphasizing the critical need to secure domestic heavy rare earth elements (HREE) before the January 2027 prohibition on Chinese-origin rare earth materials takes effect. The memorandum designates Dysprosium (Dy) and Terbium (Tb) as top national security priorities, aligning with REalloys’ mission to build HREE processing facilities in North America.

The Department of War’s comprehensive approach includes financial investment, strategic policy, and expanded public-private partnerships to fortify America’s HREE supply chain. REalloys operates the only heavy rare earth metallization platform in North America and is scaling its facility in Ohio to become the largest such facility outside China, designed to produce defense-grade dysprosium and terbium metal with a zero-adversary-nexus supply chain compliant with 10 U.S.C. §4872 and DFARS 252.225-7052.

Joe Kasper, Head of Government Relations and Chair of REalloys’ Advisory Board, stated, “We believe that the memorandum is a direct reflection of how seriously the Department of War is treating the HREE supply chain challenge and how well REalloys is positioned to align with what the defense industrial base urgently needs.” General Jack Keane (Ret.), Board Director and former Vice Chief of Staff of the U.S. Army, added, “For decades, critical material dependencies have represented one of America’s most consequential strategic vulnerabilities.”

REalloys’ integrated platform includes a long-term offtake securing 80% of output from the Saskatchewan Research Council’s commercial rare earth processing facility, a patent-pending hydrofluoric-acid-free fluorination process, and upstream feedstock from allied nations. The company is advancing through the Defense Industrial Base Consortium’s qualification pathway to deliver compliant metals to the Department of Defense, Defense Logistics Agency, and Defense Industrial Base ahead of the 2027 prohibition.

Chairman Stephen duMont emphasized, “The solution we’re building, from commercial-scale processing to innovative metallization and downstream manufacturing operations, is purpose-engineered to lead the industry in answering the call to resolve defense-grade sourcing and supply challenges.”

The memorandum is not a technical endorsement of REalloys but signals renewed government support for domestic HREE processing. REalloys’ Ohio facility serves federal agencies including the Department of Energy and NASA, alongside the Defense Industrial Base.
