USA Rare Earth Enters Strategic Partnership with Carester SAS

USA Rare Earth, Inc. has entered into a term sheet for a minority investment in Carester SAS, a French company specializing in rare earth processing and separation. This partnership grants USA Rare Earth rights to purchase Carester's rare earth oxides, access its engineering capabilities and intellectual property for separation, processing, and recycling, and secure a supply of heavy rare earth feedstock from USA Rare Earth's Round Top deposit. The collaboration aims to establish a comprehensive rare earth value chain in Europe, integrating USA Rare Earth's metal-making and magnet manufacturing with Carester's separation technologies. The transaction, which is subject to customary closing conditions, is supported by InfraVia and the French government, aligning with strategic priorities for industrial sovereignty and supply chain resilience in critical materials.
