Current status
Operating; the facility opened in October 2025.
Material scope
Rare-earth oxide-to-metal conversion, including primary, recycled and unconventional sources.
What the record covers

| Opening date | 23 October 2025, according to the source-linked facility opening record |
How to read the capacity figure
This is a metallization profile, not a direct claim about recycled NdFeB magnet throughput. The facility can be relevant to secondary-feed markets, but the published capacity is for rare-earth metal output and the share of recycled feed is not disclosed.
| Claim | Figure | REE Monitor interpretation |
|---|---|---|
| Current facility | 200 t/a rare-earth metals | Current metal nameplate for the Exeter facility; it is not counted as 200 t/a of recycled magnet material. |
| Expansion path | Above 1,000 t/a rare-earth metals | Company-stated expansion direction, not current installed output. |
| Recycled share | Not disclosed | The source names recycled feed as part of the broader input scope but does not publish a recycled-material share or annual recycled throughput. |
| Actual throughput | Not published | No defensible annual production total is currently disclosed in the source set. |
Scope guardrail: do not use the 200 t/a metal nameplate as a proxy for rare-earth magnet recycling capacity. It measures a downstream metallization step with mixed feedstock scope.
Primary evidence and open question
The primary source is Phoenix Tailings' facility-opening announcement dated 23 October 2025. It supports the operating status, Exeter location, 200 t/a metal nameplate and expansion direction. It does not establish how much of the current feed is recycled material.
Open question: what share of current oxide feed is recycled, and what annual recycled-material throughput can be verified from future operating disclosures?

Frequently asked questions about the Phoenix Tailings profile
Is Phoenix Tailings a direct NdFeB recycling facility?
This profile is about a rare-earth oxide-to-metal metallization facility, not a direct claim about recycled NdFeB magnet throughput. The feedstock scope includes primary, recycled and unconventional sources.
What does the 200 t/a figure refer to?
The published figure refers to rare-earth metal output nameplate capacity. It should not be read as recycled magnet throughput, and the share of recycled feed is not disclosed.
What does the primary source verify?
Phoenix Tailings' facility-opening announcement dated 23 October 2025 supports the Exeter location, operating status, 200 t/a metal nameplate and expansion direction. It does not establish how much current feed is recycled.
