Mountain Pass Revival: A US-led pivot in rare-earths supply chain

MP Materials revived the Mountain Pass mine from bankruptcy and flooding to become the United States’ end-to-end rare-earths producer (mining, refining, and magnet manufacturing). With a Pentagon-backed $400 million investment and a 15% government stake, the company plans to scale up magnet production in the U.S., including a Texas facility aimed at producing up to a million magnets per day by 2028 for customers like GM, reducing dependence on China which currently dominates the market. The deal and tariffs reflect a pragmatic push to secure a domestic, resilient supply chain for critical magnets.

US Plans $1B Critical Minerals Stockpile, Boosting MP Materials' Outlook

The White House unveiled a plan to launch a $1 billion strategic stockpile of critical minerals (Project Vault) to reduce U.S. dependence on Chinese supplies, a move investors are parsing for potential demand boosts and price stabilization for MP Materials and other rare-earth miners. MP stock traded around $59 after hitting intraday highs near $63 as the news circulated, while peers like USA Rare Earth and Ramaco Resources moved; China currently handles about 85% of global processing, underscoring why a stockpile could meaningfully affect supply dynamics. While seen as positive for securing materials, the policy adds volatility and many details remain, including financing arrangements such as USA Rare Earth's $1.6 billion LOI with the Commerce Department.
