White Mesa Mill

Producing Rare Earth Oxide in the U.S.

The Mill is a key link in the U.S. rare earth supply chain processing monazite, a low-cost byproduct of heavy mineral sands, to produce rare earth oxides for use in electric mobility, robotics, drones and defense technologies.

It has completed its first commercial run of ‘on-spec’ neodymium-praseodymium oxide (NdPr), considered a “light” rare earth. The team is currently piloting the “heavy” rare earths of dysprosium (Dy) and Terbium (Tb).

In order to increase current commercial rare earth processing capacity, a Phase 2 expansion is planned to include additional NdPr production along with commercial scale circuits for Dy and Tb.

The White Mesa Mill is the only fully-licensed and operating conventional uranium mill in the United States.
