Project
Planned

The Browns Range Project focuses on heavy rare earth elements, particularly dysprosium and terbium, which are critical for high-performance magnets. The project's mining lease was recently expanded, and production is targeted by late 2027. It is one of the few non-Chinese sources of these heavy rare earths, addressing a critical shortage outside China's production ecosystem.
