IperionX Secures Final $4.6M DoW Funding and 290 Tons of Titanium Scrap
Event summary
- IperionX received the final $4.6M tranche of a $47.1M DoW award to scale titanium production to 1,400 tpa.
- The U.S. Government transferred 290 metric tons of titanium scrap, enough for 1.5 years of feedstock at current capacity.
- Funding supports expansion at IperionX’s Virginia Titanium Manufacturing Campus and the Titan Critical Minerals Project in Tennessee.
- Total DoW funding now fully obligated at $47.1M, including prior tranches for long-lead equipment and project development.
The big picture
The finalization of DoW funding and titanium scrap transfer underscores the U.S. Government’s push to secure a domestic titanium supply chain, critical for defense and aerospace industries. IperionX’s ability to scale production and reduce costs will be key to its role in this strategic shift. The $47.1M award reflects the scale of investment required to establish a resilient, low-cost titanium platform.
