About Us
Securing critical elements for the new economy
Ionic Rare Earths (IonicRE) is pioneering high performance magnet production while securing a circular economy for REEs and Neodymium-Iron-Boron (NdFeB) magnets with a combination of advanced recycling, refining, and manufacturing capabilities.
We are advancing vital magnet production, recycling and heavy rare earths refinery projects that are key for the global energy transition, along with the future of advanced manufacturing and defence.
Our vision is closed-loop supply chains, circular economies, that minimise environmental impact and maximise access to critical, strategic materials, through targeted global expansion and the advancement of new benchmarks in sovereign capability and innovation.
We are providing clear environmental and sustainability benefits while addressing the imminent need for magnet and heavy REO and NdFeB magnet production outside of China.
Across the IonicRE ecosystem, we are harnessing advanced in-house technologies to accelerate the completion of circular economies across multiple nations and continents. We are advancing vital recycling and refining of sustainable and traceable magnet and heavy rare earth products that are needed to drive the next generation of clean energy, wind turbines, electronic vehicles, defence, and advanced manufacturing.
As the world’s alternative, sustainable supplier of separated magnet and heavy rare earths, Ionic Rare Earths is enabling countries to reduce their supply chain risk – building resilience, improving security, logistics, quality, costs and reliability, while progressing towards a net-zero carbon future.
What We Do
Recycling
Advanced recycling of spent NdFeB magnets and swarf into secure, sustainable and traceable separated and refined magnet REOs. Using our proprietary technology, we are commercialising modular, global deployment to satisfy sovereign capability initiatives. Our innovative recycling technology is critical to building a circular economy, allowing for extensive reuse of spent magnets, in turn alleviating the burden on raw material supply while significantly reducing waste.
IonicRE is advancing commercially viable recycling facilities for rare earth oxides and magnets, recovering rare earth oxides from spent magnets and swarf. This advancement is achieved through IonicRE’s patented solvent separation method, enabling efficient processing of individual REOs with fewer separation stages and reduced reagent consumption while maintaining high purity.
Significantly, an independent Product Carbon Footprint Study has shown Ionic Technologies’ magnet recycling process can achieve emissions reductions of up to 61% compared to the current REO supply chain sourced from primary supply.
Pioneering a Secure Western Supply Chain of NdFeB Magnets
Developing an efficient, secure, and optimised supply chain for the West and its allies, mitigating risk and political interference regarding supply, quality, access, pricing, logistics and volume to vital industries.
Through the development of a Western supply chain built on a circular economy system that protects the interests of its member industries, nations will be enabled greater control over key materials needed for their defence, advanced manufacturing, and energy developments – all while improving sustainability without the threat of supply cut offs, quality drops, price hikes or politically motivated blockades.
Refining
Developing standalone heavy rare earth refineries, utilising IonicRE’s patented separation technology.
We are currently advancing our joint Viridion refinery and recycling facility (50/50 JV) in Brazil to separate magnet and refine heavy rare earths for downstream value addition to metals, magnets and compounds. The facility, utilising IonicRE’s patented technology, will separate high value magnet and heavy rare earths from the Colossus Project’s full spectrum of REOs. With continued innovation and efforts, IonicRE is securing vital access for countries throughout the Western supply chain to enable closed loop, circular economies and global protections for defence, manufacturing, and energy sectors.
De-mining / Re-risking
IonicRE has hyperfocused its efforts on continued technology innovation and commercialisation surrounding refining, recycling and producing magnets within circular economies, with an emphasis on de-mining and de-risking.
IonicRE Executive Chairman, Brett Lynch:
“IonicRE is building a global industrial technology business based on our patented magnet recycling technology”
“Our de-risked, de-mined strategy is the fastest pathway to delivering shareholder value, replicating our Belfast model in new international markets to swiftly create a secure and sustainable ex-China rare earths supply chain.”
