New rare-earth feedstock for America, from a leading critical minerals processing hub
ABOUT ASM
Atlantic Strategic Minerals (ASM) is developing new rare-earth feedstock for America at Stony Creek, Virginia, home to the largest mineral separation plant in North America.
Monazite, the mineral that carries the rare earths used in magnets for electric vehicles, wind turbines and defence systems, already comes out of our mineral sands, so no new mine is needed. We plan to produce monazite concentrate from 2028: 1,000 tonnes a year in the first stage, rising to 2,000 tonnes a year from 2029.*
The same plant already produces premium zircon and chloride-grade ilmenite, and has about 200,000 tonnes a year of spare capacity to process monazite, zircon and titanium feedstocks for partners in the US and overseas.
Our Locations
Our operations are in Dinwiddie and Sussex Counties, Southern Virginia, a region with a long history of heavy mineral sands mining, close to major US end-users and the Port of Virginia.
