IperionX titanium production facility
equipment and powder to parts manufacturing equipment.
Commercial Operations – On Track and Accelerating
- Commissioning of the Titanium Manufacturing Campus in Virginia
progressed rapidly during the quarter, with full system
scrap-to-forged titanium product operational capacity expected by
mid-2025.
- Repeated production cycles of the Hydrogen Assisted
Metallothermic Reduction (HAMR™) furnace continue to successfully
produce high-quality titanium that exceeds industry standards.
- Commissioning-phase process improvements have reinforced the
low-capex scalability of the HAMR process, and underscore strong
potential to surpass original nameplate titanium powder
production.
- Commissioning of initial pressing and Hydrogen Sintering and
Phase Transformation (HSPT™) sintering systems is complete,
enabling forged near-net-shape titanium production.
Expanding Commercial and Strategic Customer
Partnerships
- Product development and qualification continues to build
momentum across key customer sectors - defense, automotive and
consumer electronics.
- Strong customer engagement for high-performance titanium
components that suffer from historically low material yields (high
scrap rates) - such as titanium fasteners, housings, and precision
components.
- IperionX is actively working on pilot production, with eight
commercial partners supporting a rapid path-to-market for
high-performance titanium manufactured components.
Continued Momentum in U.S. Government Engagement
- IperionX was awarded up to $47.1 million in U.S. Department of
Defense (DoD) funding to accelerate development of a secure,
low-cost, mineral-to-metal titanium supply chain. An additional
$11.0 million in financing was approved by the U.S. Export-Import
Bank for advanced manufacturing equipment.
- IperionX is progressing long-term, tax-exempt bond financing
through Virginia’s Halifax County Industrial Development Authority
to underpin future titanium production expansions.
- Multiple additional government funding applications are
underway, with strong potential for fast-track review under the new
U.S. administration.
Titanium Production Expansion Plans Underway
- The DoD award provided the catalyst to commence engineering and
design for expansion of titanium production capacity at the
Titanium Manufacturing Campus.
- Expansion of titanium production capacity is targeted by the
end of 2026, with future modular-based production expansions scoped
through to 2030. Expansion plans are expected to be released
mid-2025.
Titan Project - DFS Underway for U.S. Critical Minerals
Supply
- Definitive Feasibility Study (DFS) commenced at the Titan
Critical Minerals Project, funded in part by the recent U.S. DoD
award. The Titan Project is the largest critical mineral sands
project in the U.S.
- The DFS, expected to be completed in Q2 2026, will define
engineering, flowsheets, and infrastructure for long-term supply of
titanium feedstock and heavy rare earths, including dysprosium and
terbium - key elements for high-performance magnets and defense
systems.
Strong Financial Position
- At March 31, 2025, IperionX held US$66.1 million in cash
