This is a major escalation in U.S. engagement—not vague talk....

What’s NEW in the U.S. Expansion Announcement (June 23, 2025)

For those saying “this is old news”—here’s what’s actually new and material:

1. Multiple U.S. recycling plants now being scoped

Not just talks—IXR is actively evaluating sites across several U.S. states with partners.

2. High-purity REO samples sent to U.S. groups

Product from Belfast demo plant has been dispatched for technical and investment due diligence.

3. Engineering deliverables provided

IXR has delivered infrastructure and site planning data—signaling real intent, not early-stage chat.

4. Expansion into SmCo and restricted HREEs

Discussions now include terbium, dysprosium, samarium, etc.—key defense-critical REEs restricted by China.

5. Direct alignment with DoD compliance deadlines (Jan 2027)

IXR is positioning as a solution to new U.S. laws banning Chinese REE content in all military systems.

6. U.S. government backing acknowledged

IXR confirms support from both U.S. private and government partners, aligning with Trump admin policy.

This is a major escalation in U.S. engagement—not vague talk. IXR is now in pre-deployment mode, not pre-interest.
