On June 17, USA Rare Earth rose 5.75% in regular trading, trading at $23.175/share, with turnover of $86.07 million. The rebound follows a technical recovery from the prior session's over-5% decline, combined with continued momentum from the company's hydrometallurgical facility commissioning.
On the news front, the company announced on June 15 that its hydrometallurgical demonstration facility in Wheat Ridge, Colorado had been officially commissioned, with separated oxide production expected to begin in Q3. The resulting oxides are planned to supply its Less Common Metals subsidiary, marking a key milestone in the company's rare earth full-chain strategy. While that catalyst initially drove a 6%-plus single-day gain, it was followed by selling pressure from insider share sale plans and an ongoing MP Materials trade secret litigation. The current bounce represents a technical recovery from the prior day's oversold conditions alongside the continued production-line commissioning catalyst.
Within the Diversified Metals & Mining sector, MP Materials Corp. rose 4.82% and HudBay Minerals gained 1.63%, indicating broader strength among rare earth and mining peers.
