Boron Designated as Critical Mineral, Boosting 5E Advanced Materials

The inclusion of boron in the 2025 U.S. Critical Minerals List marks a significant development for 5E Advanced Materials. Located in Hesperia, California, 5E is positioned to become a key player in the domestic supply of this essential mineral. The U.S. Department of the Interior's decision emphasizes boron's importance in energy technologies and national security.

5E's Fort Cady project benefits from this designation, aligning with federal efforts to strengthen domestic supply chains and reduce foreign dependency. This status may enhance access to U.S. government funding programs aimed at critical mineral development. Additionally, the designation boosts 5E's presence in the energy, defense, and advanced manufacturing sectors.

Boron's strategic recognition aligns with U.S. policy priorities, reinforcing its role in national defense and technological innovation. 5E's efforts are now spotlighted as crucial to building a resilient and sustainable mineral supply chain.
