From Area Development Magazine:

“Currently, the United States, European Union, Japan, and much of the developed world is largely reliant on China for critical rare earth element production. […] Our goal with this project is to advance U.S. manufacturing capacity by establishing the first vertically integrated domestic supply chain for rare earth elements, and we are excited to be working in Oklahoma.†[…]

“Our mission is to bring jobs, investment, and economic prosperity to the state of Oklahoma. […] By establishing more high-wage job opportunities, this project will enable Oklahoma to become a nationwide industry leader across its core economic competencies.â€

“To increase national security, the U.S. must secure a domestic, reliable and sustainable supply of critical rare earth elements. […] Oklahoma is perfectly positioned to help lead the way as the U.S. seeks energy independence and less reliance on foreign materials from countries who do not share our values.â€
