IperionX Acquires Camden Assets to Boost U.S. Critical Minerals Supply
Event summary
- IperionX completed the acquisition of Camden critical mineral assets on July 2, 2026.
- Camden includes 70 acres of ultra-high-grade surface stockpiles and 180 acres of pre-stripped Lower McNairy mineralization.
- Stockpile assays show Total Heavy Minerals (THM) grading up to 21.5%, a 5x to 10x uplift compared to Titan's average grade.
- Existing infrastructure at Camden includes grid power, water, natural gas utilities, and heavy-haul rail access.
The big picture
IperionX's acquisition of Camden strengthens its position in the U.S. critical minerals supply chain, addressing vulnerabilities in upstream feedstock for rare earths essential to defense, aerospace, and electrification industries. The integration with Titan creates a scalable platform for domestic production of titanium, zircon, and heavy rare earths, aligning with U.S. government initiatives to rebuild rare-earth-to-magnet supply chains.
