What matters: Talk, plans or product being in the hands of our defense and commerical customers that need real solutions. The balance of this year and next year we believe certain companies will succeed and certain will fail and the playing field will be redefined. @ReElementTech, @Amerresources, @electrifiedmat and @royaltymgmtcorp look forward to the competition. For our country, despite the childish behavior of a few of our peers, we hope they work harder to make it a competition. MySpace didn’t do anything but say “we were first” and we all know their fate.





$AREC: HUGE Germanium Production Has Started! ReElement has commenced high-purity germanium dioxide production at Noblesville, Indiana. 7+ MT/year capacity. Mark pegged market value at $56M annually. Noblesville is now producing. Marion is next. And the product mix is broader and higher-value than most market models are capturing. Wow.








$AREC: The administration has employed a variety of financial tools in the effort including offering loans and taking equity stakes and warrants to buy stock in many of the companies involved. It’s emphasized the need to move fast and make big bets given the severity of the problem. The desire to act quickly and conduct rigorous vetting has spurred tension with the White House. Shortly after Bloomberg News contacted ReElement for comment, Peter Navarro, the White House senior counselor for trade and manufacturing, reached out independently to Bloomberg to criticize the Pentagon’s handling of the deal. “The due diligence cops within OSC with a private equity background have no experience how to manage a crisis at warp speed,” Navarro said, referring to the Pentagon’s Office of Strategic Capital. “Their over-burdensome due diligence disproportionately penalizes small innovative emerging companies,” he said. “ReElement represents exactly the kind of asymmetric bet we should be making.” Pentagon spokesman Sean Parnell called the team overseeing the agreements “the finest private equity dealmakers in the world, professionals whose unmatched expertise and qualifications stand second to none.” The Office of Strategic Capital “expertly balances lightning speed with rigorous diligence to close high-impact deals that directly strengthen America’s defense and empower our warfighters,” Parnell said. The critical-minerals effort is being overseen by Deputy Defense Secretary Stephen Feinberg, the private equity billionaire who co-founded Cerberus Capital Management. A White House official, speaking on condition of anonymity, said the administration is working together — as well as with private industry — on the matter. The official praised ReElement as one of many great emerging companies working with the government. Mark Jensen, ReElement’s chief executive officer, declined to address questions about the loan but said the company is proud to partner with the government. He said the company is going ahead with a facility in Indiana to refine critical minerals and produce rare earths oxides. “From ReElement’s perspective, we confirm that our work with the US government is ongoing,” Jensen said. “Nobody else in the country can or has produced the products we produce today at ReElement which are needed for defense, commercial and the energy transition.” mining.com/web/pentagon-d…


Down 25% on $INFQ in 3 trading sessions. I’d love to eventually get to 1000 shares over the next year if we see more downside.
