They are used in high-performance permanent magnets found in electric vehicles, wind turbines, robotics, advanced electronics, aerospace systems, and defense applications.\nToday, much of the world's rare earth processing and separation capacity is concentrated overseas. Building more of this capability in the United States is important for strengthening domestic supply chains, reducing reliance on foreign processing, and supporting the advanced manufacturing, energy, technology, and national-security industries that depend on these materials.\nThe Freedom Facility will be designed to produce thousands of tons of separated rare earth oxides annually, making Rochester an important part of Phoenix Tailings' expansion of domestic rare earth processing capacity.\nWhy Phoenix Tailings\nAt Phoenix, we believe that nothing great is ever accomplished alone or without the passion of people who push and motivate one another. If you are someone who shares our relentless pursuit of a better future, passion for innovation, and are excited about working with some of the top innovators in the world, then this is the place for you.\nOur Values\nYou are only crazy if you are wrong, it's ok to be wrong - Say what you think even when it’s uncomfortable\nLead with Compassion - Show up for your teammates, make the people around you better.\nBe Resourceful - Find a way with what you have, don't wait for more.\nListen - Understand before you act, ask good questions before deciding.\n Hustle - Put your heart into every interaction, no matter how small.\nWho We Are Looking For\nAs we build toward operations in 2027 and 2028, we are beginning to meet with individuals who may be interested in joining Phoenix Tailings.
