Less than two years since its initial public  offering, Molycorp has taken enormous strides towards eliminating the U.S.'s rare earths and critical materials capability gap and  broadening global supply diversity. Molycorp will report on the  modernization and expansion of its Mountain Pass facilities, which will  return the company to high volume rare earth oxide production by the end of the third quarter this year, and it will outline the  technologies it has integrated to dramatically advance the company's  environmental performance and cost-competitiveness. Additionally, in  pursuit of its �mine-to-magnets� strategy, Molycorp has acquired downstream manufacturing capabilities in metal and alloy  production and established a joint venture to manufacture sintered  neodymium-iron-boron (NdFeB) magnets. With its recently announced  agreement to acquire Neo Material Technologies, it is poised to add high purity processing, bonded NdFeB magnet production,  and an expanded rare metal portfolio to its suite of capabilities. The  company will discuss its continued progress and welcomes your  participation.
