Company Overview

MP Materials Corp. is a rare earth materials company focused on restoring and expanding a fully integrated rare earth supply chain in the United States. The company owns and operates the Mountain Pass rare earth mine and processing facility in California, one of the largest rare earth production sites in the Western Hemisphere.

MP Materials primarily produces rare earth concentrate containing neodymium and praseodymium, elements used in high-strength permanent magnets. These magnets are important components in electric vehicles, wind turbines, robotics, defense systems, and other advanced technologies. The company is also developing additional processing and magnet manufacturing capabilities in the United States to move beyond mining and concentrate production.

The Mountain Pass operation serves customers in global markets, while the company’s broader strategy is aimed at creating a domestic supply chain for mined, separated, and magnet-grade rare earth products. MP Materials became a publicly traded company in 2020 through a business combination with a special purpose acquisition company. James H. Litinsky is the company’s chief executive officer and chairman.
