Tronox and JX Advanced Metals (JXAM) have signed a cooperation and investment agreement to jointly fund approximately $32 million for the development of Tronox's rare earth and critical minerals business. The partnership aims to establish an integrated processing and refining platform across Australia and the United States.

Joint investment structure

Under the signed agreement, Tronox and JXAM will fund the initiative on a 50/50 basis. The capital will support two primary studies:

1. A definitive feasibility study for a proposed rare earth cracking and leaching facility (Cracking Plant) in Australia.
2. A pre-feasibility study for a proposed rare earth oxide refinery (Refinery) in the United States.

The joint venture also plans to develop a US-based pilot facility capable of producing initial quantities of high-purity rare earth oxides. The companies anticipate that these investments will demonstrate the technical, economic, environmental, and commercial viability of the proposed platform.

Strategic scope and critical minerals

Beyond rare earths, the agreement contemplates the joint development of other critical minerals and materials from Tronox's mineral resources. These include niobium (Nb), scandium (Sc), zirconium (Zr), and hafnium (Hf). The companies state that these materials are critical to the economic and national security of both the United States and Japan.

The collaboration aligns with the Pax Silica Initiative, reflecting a shared commitment to establish new capabilities across the critical mineral value chain while supporting industrial competitiveness objectives in the US, Australia, and Japan.

Project locations and infrastructure

The planned facilities leverage Tronox's existing operational footprint to potentially reduce costs and accelerate development.

The Mississippi site is noted for access to abundant, low-cost power, existing utilities, reagents, and substantial infrastructure. Tronox expects this existing footprint to provide meaningfully lower refining costs compared to a typical new entrant.

Production targets and mineralogy

Together, the two sites aim to produce up to 10,000 tonnes per annum of total rare earth oxides. Tronox's mines possess a mineralogy mix containing both light and heavy rare earth refinery feedstock. Key elements identified include neodymium (Nd) and praseodymium (Pr), dysprosium (Dy) and terbium (Tb), samarium (Sm), gadolinium (Gd), and yttrium (Y).

What the numbers show

The agreement highlights a strategic dependency on existing infrastructure rather than greenfield construction. By locating the Cracking Plant within three kilometers of the Kwinana pigment plant and the Refinery adjacent to the Hamilton facility, Tronox is leveraging sunk costs in utilities and workforce. The disclosure that the Hamilton site employs more than 400 people and has access to low-cost power suggests that operational synergies are a primary driver for the projected cost advantages against new entrants.
