Our Impact
IonicRE is leading the secure supply of magnet and heavy rare earths, leveraging our sustainable technology, pioneering magnet recycling to drive the next generation of wind turbines, electronic vehicles, defence, and advanced manufacturing.
Our vision is a closed-loop supply chain/ circular economy that minimises environmental impact and maximises access to critical, strategic raw materials, through targeted global expansion and empowering new benchmarks in sovereign capability and innovation.
Securing Critical Elements for the New Economy
Harnessing our technology to accelerate mining, refining and recycling of magnet and heavy rare earths critical for energy transition, advanced manufacturing and defence.
Ionic Technologies
Ionic Technologies (100% owned) is pioneering the recycling and refining of magnet and heavy rare earths from pre-consumer magnet scrap and spent NdFeB magnets (end-of-life magnets, including from wind turbines) with a planned commercial-scale facility in Belfast.
Building on patented IonicRE technology developed at Queen’s University Belfast, Ionic Technologies is reshaping the rare earth supply chain, with cutting-edge hydrometallurgical processes in REE refining and critical recycling capabilities separating 99.9% plus magnet rare earth oxides (REO).
An independent Product Carbon Footprint Study has shown Ionic Technologies’ magnet recycling process can achieve emissions reductions of up to 61% compared to the current REO supply chain sourced from primary (mine) supply.
By creating a sustainable, traceable supply of critical REOs, IonicRE is building a circular magnet economy, securing vital magnet supply for renewable energy, advanced manufacturing, and defence.
Viridon
Viridion, a 50/50 JV with Viridis Mining & Minerals (ASX: VMM), holds exclusive rights in Brazil to monetise, implement and commercialise Ionic Technologies’ magnet recycling IP.
The joint venture is advancing development of a REO refinery and magnet recycling facility in the state of Minas Gerais, Brazil to develop a closed-loop supply chain and circular economy for REE and NdFeB magnets in South America.
Under a MOU with CIT SENAI FIEMG Innovation and Technology Centre, Viridion also aims to develop South America’s first rare earth magnet supply chain.
Makuutu
The Makuutu Heavy Rare Earths Project is the only development-ready heavy rare earths project with supply available for global markets.
Technology, De-mining & De-risking
IonicRE continues to advance its innovation and commercialisation surrounding refining, recycling and production of Neodymium-Iron-Boron (NdFeB) magnets within a circular economy.
IonicRE Executive Chairman, Brett Lynch:
“IonicRE is building a global industrial technology business based on our patented magnet recycling technology”
“Our de-risked, de-mined strategy is the fastest pathway to delivering shareholder value, replicating our Belfast model in new international markets to swiftly create a secure and sustainable ex-China rare earths supply chain.”
Securing Critical Elements for Life
The world’s supply of secure, sustainable and traceable magnet and heavy rare earths is at a tipping point.
Ionic Rare Earths is unlocking new sources of magnet and heavy rare earths to empower global industries centred on carbon neutrality and advanced manufacturing, and together build a more resilient supply chain for future generations.
Through sustainable business practices and a commitment to ESG reporting across our mining, refining and recycling activities, Ionic Rare Earths will create value for our stakeholders, for all people and our planet.
