WATCH: The Pick Magazine Interview

ASM is redefining the rare earths and critical minerals supply chain…

With a bold approach that adds value all the way from mine to metals, we’re supporting an alternative global magnet market.

It begins at our Dubbo Project in NSW, Australia, where we will mine, separate and refine a suite of critical minerals all the way through to high-purity oxides – adding value onshore to Australia’s resources.

Further downstream, our proven metallisation capability in South Korea is ramping up metal and alloy production aligned to the requirements of a growing number of domestic and export customers.

We’re working with emerging as well as established magnet producers globally in order to get into their supply chain as they grow this emerging industry of non-China producers.
