USA Rare Earth CEO: America’s dependence on China is unsustainable

MINING.com Editor | April 7, 2025 | 10:29 pm Critical Minerals China USA Rare Earth

A month after merging with Inflection Point and going public, USA Rare Earth CEO Joshua Ballard warns that America’s dependence on China is no longer sustainable.

In this interview with MINING.com host Devan Murugan, Ballard outlines how a rare earth deposit in Texas and a new magnet plant in Oklahoma could serve as the foundation for a secure domestic rare earth supply chain.
