What IperionX does

US critical-minerals firm turning titanium ore into titanium metal powder and mill products using lower-cost, lower-carbon technology.

Still scaling up: sales so far are small orders and qualification trials, and it funds the build-out from equity raises and US government support rather than product sales. It makes powder and finished parts at a site in Virginia, and owns the Titan mineral-sands project in Tennessee as a potential source of ore.

In one line: A US junior titanium producer using patented low-cost tech.
