Caldera - A green Technology Metal Company

Caldera Holding LLC is developing a fully integrated rare earths & critical materials project, based entirely in the U.S.

The project includes reclamation & redevelopment of an iron ore & rare earth mine in Washington County, Missouri, USA

Our fully permitted project has significant quantities of Pr, Nd, Tb, Dy, Sm, Co and other critical materials

Our recently completed pre-feasibility and NI 43-101 resource estimate Pro-Forma shows robust profitability even at the lowest price levels of 2024

The project includes three distinct REE deposits and 40 years of proven reserves

Caldera has the only permitted mine with geopolitically significant quantities of heavy rare earths outside of China's control

Why select Caldera as a partner?

As the only permitted mine with geopolitically significant quantities of heavy rare earths and separation capabilities outside of China’s control; Caldera can support a U.S. based supply chain for the production of HOT magnets and other associated products.  Caldera, through strategic partnerships, is committed to building an independent supply chain to support U.S. manufacturing and national security

Caldera is currently establishing partnerships with REE metal/magnet fabricators and EV motor and auto makers

Caldera's Vertically Integrated Business Model

The greatest demonstrated risk for any REE company is China’s use of monopoly practices to undermine or eliminate competitors. Caldera has addressed this risk through a strategy of vertical integration and product diversification.

Vertical integration : Caldera’s primary JV-partner will be a tier 1 OEM auto maker (or a tier 1 supplier of EV drive motors). Our JV-partners will be the only producers / suppliers of provenance qualified EV motor systems (with zero Chinese content)

  1. Mining through separated oxides.
  2. Magnetic materials to finished magnets
  3. Assembled EV drive motors
  4. OEM automaker

Product Diversification : Caldera’s other heavy REEs, numerous other critical materials, and commodity products should provide a hedge against operational losses if rare earth prices remain low or go lower.

Caldera’s heavy REEs financially carry the project at current pricing levels (Nd/Pr in the $50 range).
