Arizona Tribune - HyProMag USA to Commence Preparatory Work for Project Execution Phase at Dallas-Fort Worth Texas Hub

DALLAS-FORTH WORTH, TX / ACCESS Newswire / June 3, 2026 / HyProMag USA, LLC ("HyProMag USA" or the "Company"), a U.S.-based rare earth magnet recycling and manufacturing company, today announced that it has taken occupation of its approximately 125,000-square-foot Dallas-Fort Worth facility for what is expected to become the Company's first integrated rare earth magnet recycling and manufacturing hub in the United States.

The facility, located at Ironhead Commerce Center in Denton County, Texas, will serve as the central hub of HyProMag USA's domestic rare earth magnet recycling platform and support the Company's broader hub-and-spoke strategy, which includes established feedstock pre-processing operations in South Carolina and Nevada at Intelligent Lifecycle Solutions ("ILS") sites.

With the lease now in effect, HyProMag USA will begin establishing an operational presence at the site, including installation of communications infrastructure, security systems and other foundational requirements to support project execution activities.

Julian Treger, CEO of CoTec Holdings Corp (supporting HyProMag USA), commented: "Taking occupation of the Texas Hub is transformational for HyProMag USA. With the facility now under our control, our focus is on advancing detailed engineering, securing long-lead equipment, expanding feedstock and offtake partnerships of what we believe will become a cornerstone of the domestic rare earth magnet supply chain. The facility is strategically located in the heart of the Dallas-Fort Worth innovation corridor with excellent access to transportation, logistics and critical infrastructure. We are excited to begin establishing our presence at the site and advancing the project toward construction and commissioning."

Will Dawes, CEO of Mkango Resources and Director of HyProMag USA, commented "We are excited to announce this further milestone as we advance towards project development in USA. HyProMag USA is well positioned as a future magnet producer with significant competitive advantages, underpinned by domestic feedstock derived via its proprietary HPMS and Inserma technologies in conjunction with ILS, as well as the opportunity to leverage off existing HyProMag recycling and magnet manufacturing operations in UK and Germany."

The Dallas-Fort Worth facility is expected to utilize HyProMag's patented Hydrogen Processing of Magnet Scrap ("HPMS") technology to recover and manufacture neodymium-iron-boron ("NdFeB") rare earth magnets from end-of-life products and manufacturing scrap.

Once fully operational, the facility is expected to manufacture approximately 941 metric tons per annum of recycled sintered neodymium-iron-boron ("NdFeB") magnets and 611 metric tons per annum of associated NdFeB co-products (total payable capacity - 1,552 metric tons NdFeB) over a 40-year operating life supporting growing demand from sectors including artificial intelligence infrastructure, robotics, electric vehicles and advanced manufacturing.

The U.S. buildout is expected to create approximately 90 to 100 skilled jobs and play an important role in strengthening domestic supply chains for rare earth magnets and critical materials in the United States.
