Understanding demand across defence and advanced manufacturing, including differences between commercial-grade and higher-specification magnets required for defence applications Expanding processing capacity across the full value chain, with a focus on key bottlenecks including metallisation between separation and magnet production Addressing concentration risk by developing ex-China supply chains, particularly for critical steps such as metallisation and specialised processing of Dy and Tb Strengthening the investment case in lower-volume segments, including high-specification NdFeB and SmCo magnets, where demand is less certain but strategically critical Aligning timelines, capital investment and policy support to enable scalable and resilient supply chains
