On June 15, USA Rare Earth rose 6.14% in regular trading, trading at $23.52/share, with turnover of $71.65 million.
On the news front, the company announced that its hydro-metallurgical demonstration facility in Wheat Ridge, Colorado has been officially commissioned. Separated oxide production is expected to begin in Q3, with output planned to feed the company's Less Common Metals subsidiary. This milestone marks a critical advancement in the company's integrated rare earth value chain strategy.
The stock had previously fallen over 30% from approximately $30 following a sell-the-news reaction to the $1.6 billion U.S. Department of Commerce funding agreement signed on June 3, compounded by insider selling plans and an ongoing trade secrets lawsuit from MP Materials. The current rebound reflects both the new operational catalyst and technical recovery from oversold conditions.
Within the Diversified Metals and Mining sector, the broader industry trended higher. Among peers, HudBay Minerals rose 6.83%, MP Materials rose 4.08%, Teck Resources rose 3.61%, BHP Billiton rose 1.67%, and Rio Tinto rose 1.0%.
