Vulcan Elements is proud to announce a $1.4 billion partnership with the @DeptofWar, @CommerceGov, and @ReElementTech to scale Vulcan Elements and ReElement Technologies’ 100% vertically-integrated, domestic rare earth magnet supply chain.
This partnership proves that America can manufacture rare earth magnets—entirely on U.S. soil.
Since its inception, Vulcan Elements’ mission has been to build a domestic rare earth magnet solution that can propel the United States into the 21st century and enable the next era of American economic dynamism and national security. This partnership is a milestone for the company’s mission, and for the United States of America.
As Secretary of Commerce @howardlutnick stated: “Our investment in Vulcan Elements will accelerate U.S. production of rare earth magnets for American manufacturers. We are laser-focused on bringing critical mineral and rare earth manufacturing back home, ensuring America’s supply chain is strong, secure and perfectly reliable.”
“As a former Navy officer, I am honored by the trust that the American government and American people have placed in Vulcan Elements,” said Vulcan Elements CEO @_JohnMaslin. “Now more than ever, we remain focused on execution and performance, so that we can deliver a capability that the nation urgently needs. Vulcan Elements and ReElement Technologies already have a record of strong collaboration, and I look forward to continuing to work together as we move forward into this next phase of our partnership.”
This is an honor and responsibility that Vulcan Elements takes very seriously. We will continue to stay laser-focused on delivering real results at a rapid pace.
Proud to partner with @ucore to build an integrated rare earth magnet supply chain in the United States. Beginning this year, Ucore will supply Vulcan with light and heavy rare earths, leading to a long-term commercial supply agreement starting in 2027. Ucore intends to make a portion of its Louisiana Strategic Metals Complex capacity available to Vulcan.
Vulcan is restoring the rare earth ecosystem and securing American magnet independence. 100% of Vulcan's material and equipment is sourced from the United States and its core allies, ensuring that America has an independent and resilient supply chain for the most critical commercial technologies and for our national security.
As Vulcan's CEO @_JohnMaslin put it: “Since its inception, Vulcan Elements’ mission has been to build a domestic rare earth magnet supply chain that can propel America into the 21st century and enable the next era of innovation and national security. Vulcan’s partnership with Ucore is a milestone for both companies, and for the United States of America. Together, we’re rebuilding a core industry that is critical for economic growth and national security.”
🎙️A new episode of Radical Talks is now live. This week, we’re joined by @_JohnMaslin, Founder & CEO of @VulcanElements and former U.S. Navy Supply Corps officer, for a deep dive into the overlooked infrastructure powering AI: rare earth magnets.
Vulcan Elements' CEO @_JohnMaslin joined @radicalvcfund’s @molwelch to discuss why rare earth magnets are a foundational layer of AI infrastructure, and what it takes to rebuild domestic manufacturing.

Thank you @DoWCTO and @DeptofWar for partnering with us to restore American industrial dominance and deliver the magnets that will define the next generation of economic dynamism and national security 🇺🇸🧲
The Office of Strategic Capital's $700M deal with Vulcan Elements & ReElement Technologies fortifies the U.S. supply chain for critical magnets used in everything from fighter jets to satellites.
This is a vital step in revitalizing our industrial base and a huge win for national security. This is an incredible initiative that directly supports the priorities of @SecWar & @POTUS.
The Office of Strategic Capital has finalized another deal that will help secure the domestic production of magnets essential to technologies that support the American warfighter.
This deal directly supports President Trump's executive order to bolster our critical mineral supply chain and restore American industrial sovereignty.
Rare-earths startup Vulcan Elements says it will use $1 billion of government funding and private capital to build a production facility in its home state of North Carolina, the latest step in a US push to break free of China’s grip over the industry https://t.co/Bx3DchxPp7
Vulcan Elements is excited to announce that it has selected Benson, North Carolina, as the location for its $1 billion rare earth magnet manufacturing facility.
At its location in Benson, Vulcan Elements will expand to 10,000 metric tonnes of rare earth magnet manufacturing capacity and create 1,000 new American jobs—executing on the company’s $1.4 billion partnership with the United States Government announced on November 3, 2025.
The facility will be a critical asset for the United States as it onshores the rare earth magnet industry and secures an essential supply chain for American economic dynamism and national security.
“North Carolina is a natural home for Vulcan Elements’ next stage,” said Vulcan Elements CEO @_JohnMaslin. “We need to draw on world-class talent, innovation, and infrastructure as we secure one of the 21st century’s most important supply chains. As home to our current commercial facility, North Carolina has proven that it has all three. And as we create 1,000 new American jobs, we will tap into the region’s deep bench of experience across industries—from engineers and technicians who understand hardware and manufacturing to military veterans who have spent their careers managing complex supply chains, operating heavy machinery, and serving their country.”
Vulcan Elements conducted an extensive multistate search for this facility over the course of the last year. The site selected in Benson meets all of Vulcan Elements’ requirements for 10,000 tonnes of magnet production, including size, power, and transportation.
This announcement follows Vulcan Elements’ $1.4 billion partnership with the United States Government to build a 100% vertically-integrated, domestic magnet supply chain with the company’s upstream partner ReElement Technologies. As United States Secretary of Commerce @howardlutnick stated: “Our investment in Vulcan Elements will accelerate U.S. production of rare earth magnets for American manufacturers.
