IperionX, an American titanium metallic and demanding supplies firm, has commenced a definitive feasibility research for its Titan Vital Minerals Venture in Tennessee – the most important mineral useful resource of titanium, uncommon earth, and zircon mineral sands in the USA.
This remaining section of feasibility is partly funded by an allocation from IperionX’s current US Authorities award of US$47.1 million, underscoring the strategic significance of the Titan Venture in securing a completely built-in, US-based ‘mineral-to-metal’ titanium provide chain. US Authorities funding awarded to IperionX since January 2023 now totals over US$60 million.
The DFS is predicted to be accomplished by Q2 2026 and can embody detailed mine engineering, processing flowsheet, and infrastructure design. This research marks a significant step in advancing the Titan Venture in the direction of manufacturing.
As a number one absolutely permitted essential minerals venture within the US, the Titan Venture is uniquely positioned to provide low-cost, home essential mineral feedstocks to help future large-scale expansions of IperionX’s titanium manufacturing, enhancing the power and resilience of the US titanium provide chain. It additionally hosts important portions of sunshine and heavy uncommon earth components – together with dysprosium and terbium – which can be important for superior applied sciences and protection methods. The Titan Venture has attracted important curiosity from potential strategic and industrial companions in search of safe, long-term provides of US-sourced essential minerals.
IperionX stays on monitor for the profitable ramp-up of its Titanium Manufacturing Facility in Virginia. The steadiness of the US$47.1 million US Authorities funding awarded to IperionX in 2025 has additionally enabled the graduation of engineering and design actions for expanded titanium metallic manufacturing. Additional particulars of those titanium manufacturing growth plans are anticipated by mid-2025.
Because the US Authorities intensifies efforts to re-shore manufacturing and strengthen provide chain independence, IperionX is strategically positioned to create long-term worth – offering a safe, sustainable, and low-cost home provide of titanium and demanding minerals important to American business.
“The graduation of the DFS on the Titan Venture marks a significant milestone for IperionX and the way forward for American essential mineral independence. The Titan Venture is a nationally strategic essential minerals asset, uniquely positioned to help the USA’ industrial and protection priorities. We’re proud to be constructing the inspiration of a safe, sustainable, and absolutely home titanium provide chain – from minerals to completed titanium metallic,” mentioned Anastasios (Taso) Arima, CEO of IperionX.
