WILMINGTON, DE — The Chemours Company and Energy Fuels Inc. have announced a strategic alliance aimed at enhancing the U.S. supply chain for rare earth elements and critical minerals. This partnership aligns with national efforts to reduce dependence on foreign sources and to bolster domestic production capabilities in minerals crucial for energy, defense, and advanced manufacturing industries.
Chemours, with its mining operations in Florida and Georgia, specializes in heavy mineral sands extraction and separation, while Energy Fuels plans to scale up rare earth and mineral production through its global projects in Madagascar, Brazil, and Australia. Combining these complementary strengths, the alliance is set to accelerate the availability of critical materials like titanium, zirconium, and rare earths, which are essential for modern technologies and infrastructure.
The collaboration comes at a pivotal moment as the U.S. faces increasing demand for sustainably sourced critical minerals. By leveraging their operational and geographic synergies, Chemours and Energy Fuels aim to reduce reliance on imports, secure a more stable domestic supply chain, and enhance the nation’s economic and national security.
This development underscores the importance of reshoring vital supply chains and maintaining high environmental and safety standards in U.S.-based mining and mineral processing. The alliance positions both companies as leaders in addressing critical material demands while ensuring long-term competitiveness for the United States.
