Energy Fuels is expanding across the rare earth value chain through strategic acquisitions and investments.
The ASM deal would add Korean metals and alloys production and access to the Dubbo Project.
It is building an integrated mine-to-magnet platform spanning mining, processing, metals and magnets.
Energy Fuels (UUUU - Free Report) is rapidly expanding beyond uranium, building capabilities across the rare earth value chain, from mining and processing to metals, alloys and magnets, through a series of strategic acquisitions and investments. The company recently achieved another key milestone, with shareholders approving its planned acquisition of Australian Strategic Materials Limited (“ASM”). UUUU expects the transaction to close by Aug. 28, 2026, following a final approval hearing before the Federal Court of Australia.
Energy Fuels agreed to acquire ASM in January 2026. Upon completion, the transaction will combine ASM's operating Korean Metals Plant (KMP) and Energy Fuels’ planned American Metals Plant (AMP) with its existing REE oxide production at its White Mesa Mill in Utah.
KMP is one of the few facilities outside of China currently producing REE metals and alloys, including neodymium-praseodymium (NdPr), dysprosium (Dy) and terbium (Tb) metals and neodymium-iron-boron (NdFeB) and dysprosium-iron (DyFe) alloys. Energy Fuels would also gain access to ASM's significant Dubbo Project in New South Wales. Combined with the Donald Project in Victoria, which Energy Fuels is developing in a joint venture with Astron, the deal will help advance an integrated Western supply chain spanning mining, processing, separation, metals and alloys.
Energy Fuels has steadily strengthened its rare earth platform. Its 2024 acquisition of Base Resources added the Toliara Project, now known as the Vara Mada project. It is one of the world’s best heavy mineral sands and critical mineral development projects due to the high grade and quality of the titanium, zirconium and REE minerals, and its long mine life. In June 2026, UUUU announced plans to acquire Germany-based VAC Group, which will help it become a fully integrated rare earths and magnetics company. VAC will bring a solid product portfolio including permanent magnets (sintered neodymium-iron-boron, NdFeB, and samarium-cobalt, SmCo) and soft magnetics (amorphous and nanocrystalline alloys, cobalt-iron and nickel-iron products).
Energy Fuels has also secured a conditional $725 million financing commitment from the U.S. Office of Strategic Capital to support the expansion of critical minerals processing at White Mesa and the planned U.S. rare earth metals and alloy facility. In July, construction began on the White Mesa expansion, which will enable large-scale production of heavy rare earth oxides and support the company's broader mine-to-magnet strategy.
The strategy aligns well with U.S. efforts to develop secure domestic sources of critical minerals for automotive, robotics, data center, energy and defense applications. Peers such as MP Materials (MP - Free Report) and USA Rare Earth (USAR - Free Report) are pursuing similar integrated strategies, underscoring the growing opportunity for non-Chinese rare earth supply chains.
MP Materials is the only fully integrated rare earth producer in the United States, with operations spanning mining, processing, metallization and magnet manufacturing. MP Materials is expanding its magnet manufacturing footprint through its Independence facility and planned 10X magnetics plant, targeting a combined annual capacity of 10,000 metric tons.
USA Rare Earth is building a fully integrated rare earth and permanent magnet value chain across the United States, the United Kingdom, France and Brazil. Through its ownership of Less Common Metals, one of the world’s leading producers of rare earth metals and alloys, its magnet manufacturing capacity in Stillwater, OK, the Pela Ema mine in Brazil (subject to closing the Serra Verde Group transaction) and the Round Top deposit in Texas, USA Rare Earth operates across the entire value chain from mining to metal-making, alloy production and neodymium magnet manufacturing.
