IperionX

Listed on NASDAQ and the ASX (ticker IPX) and led by co-founder and CEO Anastasios (Taso) Arima, IperionX is building an all-American titanium supply chain from its base in Charlotte, North Carolina. Its patented HAMR (Hydrogen Assisted Metallothermic Reduction) and HSPT powder processes can produce titanium powder from 100% recycled scrap or from domestic ore at lower cost, energy and carbon than the incumbent Kroll process. The company is scaling its Virginia Titanium Manufacturing Campus toward roughly 1,400 tonnes per year and advancing the Titan critical-minerals project in Tennessee, backed in 2025 by US Department of Defense awards including a $47.1M expansion award and an SBIR Phase III contract capped at up to $99M.
