◈

Mine to Magnet

Full vertical integration from Brazilian rare earth extraction to permanent magnet precursors for U.S. defense manufacturers.

◈

Industrial Sovereignty

Not a mining company. An instrument of allied industrial sovereignty — bypassing the Chinese rare earth processing monopoly.

◈

Defense-Grade Supply

DoD, DFC, and Ex-Im Bank aligned. Structured for 15-year government-backed offtake. NDAA §854 compliant supply origin.

Who We Are

Providing the materials that power American defense and industry.

Kilonova Materials is a Mine-to-Magnet rare earth platform connecting proven Brazilian deposits to U.S. processing infrastructure — delivering refined materials and permanent magnet precursors to defense OEMs and industrial manufacturers.

Founded on the conviction that political sovereignty without industrial sovereignty is an illusion — anchored in Alexander Hamilton's Report on Manufactures of 1791, and built as the American response, 234 years later.

Our Anchor

"Political sovereignty without industrial sovereignty is an illusion."

Alexander Hamilton, Report on Manufactures, 1791. The foundational thesis behind every decision Kilonova makes — and the reason this platform exists.

Our Mission

Deliver end-to-end rare earth sovereignty to allied nations.

From Brazilian subsoil to U.S. defense supply chain — a fully integrated, allied-controlled rare earth platform that cannot be disrupted by geopolitical adversaries.

Our Position

Not a mining company. An industrial sovereignty instrument.

Kilonova is built for institutional partners — DoD, DFC, allied governments — not commodity markets. Our benchmark is MP Materials. Our mandate is Hamilton.

The Platform

Mine to Magnet.
Brazil to the battlefield.

Kilonova operates the only allied Mine-to-Magnet platform connecting South American rare earth extraction to U.S.-soil processing and defense-grade permanent magnet manufacturing — at every stage under allied jurisdiction.

Mineral Extraction

Proven rare earth mineral rights in Brazil — one of the world's largest known REE deposits, under democratic allied jurisdiction meeting NDAA §854 requirements.

REE Separation

Proprietary separation technology delivering defense-grade oxide purity. RapidSX-adjacent processing capability developed with NATO-network advisors.

U.S. Processing Campus

1,400-acre Central Florida campus. DFC and Ex-Im Bank eligible infrastructure. DARPA-funded oxide-to-alloy conversion technology integration.

Metallization

Rare earth alloy and metal production on U.S. soil. Title III Defense Production Act eligible. Full traceability from extraction to finished metal.

Magnet Precursors

Sintered NdFeB permanent magnet precursors and finished components. Qualified for DoD prime contractor supply chains and IRA-compliant EV applications.

Defense Offtake

Structured for 15-year government-backed offtake agreements. Primary path through leading NATO-aligned magnetics manufacturer with 25-year advisory relationship.

Our Value

Promoting responsible use of allied critical mineral resources.

Kilonova's platform is built on three non-negotiable pillars — allied control, U.S.-soil processing, and institutional-grade transparency. Every decision is calibrated against these standards.

Allied Supply Chain Control 100%

U.S.-Soil Processing Capacity 85%

Defense-Grade Compliance Readiness 92%

The Asset · Proven Mineral Rights · Allied Jurisdiction

The subsoil that changes
the balance of power.

One of the world's largest known rare earth deposits — under democratic allied jurisdiction, meeting NDAA §854 compliance for U.S. defense procurement. The physical foundation of the Mine-to-Magnet platform.

Capital Formation

Four sovereign capital tracks. One integrated platform.

Kilonova's capital formation architecture spans four strategic jurisdictions — each anchored in a distinct geopolitical thesis, each designed to accelerate allied rare earth sovereignty through a different institutional pathway.

The Origin · GW170817 · Neutron Star Merger

Every rare earth element
on Earth was forged in the stars.

When neutron stars collide in a kilonova event, they synthesize neodymium, dysprosium, and praseodymium — the heavy elements that become permanent magnets that power defense systems. Kilonova Materials is named for this origin.

Insights & Market Intelligence

The geopolitical and market context shaping Kilonova's strategic positioning — from DFC financing precedents to the rare earth supply chain restructuring accelerating across allied nations.

Market Validation · April 2026

USA Rare Earth acquires Serra Verde for ~$2.8B — establishing the DFC financing template.

The landmark acquisition — with $565M in DFC financing and a 15-year government-guaranteed offtake — confirms the viability of the allied Brazilian rare earth model and sets the public benchmark valuation for comparable assets.

April 20, 2026

Geopolitics · Supply Chain

China controls ~90% of global rare earth processing. The window to build alternatives is now.

The NDAA §854 compliance framework, Inflation Reduction Act incentives, and the DoD's Critical Materials Strategy have created a convergent institutional mandate: build allied supply chains or cede the defense industrial base.

Strategic Brief · 2026

Technology · Processing

DARPA-funded DIRECT technology enables oxide-to-alloy conversion on U.S. soil — the missing link.

The integration of advanced oxide-to-alloy conversion with allied separation technology and Florida processing infrastructure closes the last gap in a fully domestic rare earth manufacturing chain — from ore to finished magnet.
