MP Materials (NYSE: MP) has achieved a significant milestone by initiating commercial production of neodymium-praseodymium (NdPr) metal and trial production of automotive-grade, sintered NdFeB magnets at its Independence facility in Fort Worth, Texas. This marks the restoration of U.S. rare earth magnet production for the first time in decades.
The Independence facility is set to produce approximately 1,000 metric tons of finished NdFeB magnets annually, with production ramping up in late 2025. The facility will supply magnets to General Motors and other manufacturers, using raw materials from MP's Mountain Pass mine in California.
In 2024, Mountain Pass achieved record production of over 45,000 metric tons of rare earth oxides in concentrate and approximately 1,300 metric tons of NdPr oxide, along with other refined products. This development represents a important step in establishing a fully integrated, domestic rare earth magnet supply chain.
