5E Advanced Materials Inc. has announced plans to target the future production of ferroboron in the United States, aiming to establish a secure domestic supply chain using boric acid feedstock from its Fort Cady site in California. The company is evaluating engineering pathways, capital requirements, and partnership frameworks to support this initiative. 5E intends to address the current U.S. reliance on imported ferroboron, a material critical for specialty steel and permanent magnet manufacturing, particularly neodymium-iron-boron (NdFeB) magnets. The company’s strategy includes transitioning into higher-value boron derivatives, potentially enhancing its long-term revenue mix and supporting domestic supply chains for advanced materials. Production timelines are contingent on technical validation, commercial alignment, and financing.
