Ioneer Advances U.S. Critical Minerals Strategy with Army Processing Facility Award
Ioneer Limited (ASX: INR) has secured a conditional award from the U.S. Army to establish a boron processing facility at the Tooele Army Depot in Utah under a proposed long-term lease agreement. The company was among four organisations selected under the Army’s Strategic Capital Initiatives program, which is designed to strengthen domestic processing of minerals considered vital for national security. The planned facility will process boron sourced from Ioneer’s Rhyolite Ridge Lithium-Boron Project, which contains North America’s only undeveloped boron ore reserve and one of the largest known deposits outside Türkiye. The initiative follows the U.S. Government’s decision to classify boron as a critical mineral, reflecting its importance in defence applications such as advanced armour, semiconductors, permanent magnets, and nuclear technologies. Lease negotiations, environmental assessments, and regulatory approvals will be completed before construction begins, with development expected to commence in 2027 and initial operations targeted for 2028, supporting a more resilient domestic critical minerals supply chain.
