IperionX, an American titanium metallic and demanding supplies firm, has commenced a definitive feasibility examine for its Titan Essential Minerals Mission in Tennessee – the most important mineral useful resource of titanium, uncommon earth, and zircon mineral sands in the USA.
This remaining section of feasibility is partly funded by an allocation from IperionX’s latest US Authorities award of US$47.1 million, underscoring the strategic significance of the Titan Mission in securing a totally built-in, US-based ‘mineral-to-metal’ titanium provide chain. US Authorities funding awarded to IperionX since January 2023 now totals over US$60 million.
The DFS is predicted to be accomplished by Q2 2026 and can embody detailed mine engineering, processing flowsheet, and infrastructure design. This examine marks a serious step in advancing the Titan Mission in the direction of manufacturing.
As a number one absolutely permitted vital minerals venture within the US, the Titan Mission is uniquely positioned to produce low-cost, home vital mineral feedstocks to help future large-scale expansions of IperionX’s titanium manufacturing, enhancing the energy and resilience of the US titanium provide chain. It additionally hosts important portions of sunshine and heavy uncommon earth parts – together with dysprosium and terbium – which might be very important for superior applied sciences and protection methods. The Titan Mission has attracted important curiosity from potential strategic and business companions in search of safe, long-term provides of US-sourced vital minerals.
IperionX stays on observe for the profitable ramp-up of its Titanium Manufacturing Facility in Virginia. The stability of the US$47.1 million US Authorities funding awarded to IperionX in 2025 has additionally enabled the graduation of engineering and design actions for expanded titanium metallic manufacturing. Additional particulars of those titanium manufacturing growth plans are anticipated by mid-2025.
Because the US Authorities intensifies efforts to re-shore manufacturing and strengthen provide chain independence, IperionX is strategically positioned to create long-term worth – offering a safe, sustainable, and low-cost home provide of titanium and demanding minerals important to American trade.
“The graduation of the DFS on the Titan Mission marks a serious milestone for IperionX and the way forward for American vital mineral independence. The Titan Mission is a nationally strategic vital minerals asset, uniquely positioned to help the USA’ industrial and protection priorities. We’re proud to be constructing the inspiration of a safe, sustainable, and absolutely home titanium provide chain – from minerals to completed titanium metallic,” stated Anastasios (Taso) Arima, CEO of IperionX.
