Evolution Metals & Technologies submits response to U.S. Army rare earth magnet notice
Evolution Metals & Technologies (EMAT) said it submitted a capability statement to the U.S. Army's Sources Sought notice for rare earth magnets used in small drone motors. The notice is a market research request that does not commit the Army to any purchase, so the filing reports a submission rather than a contract award.

- Plans to expand annual magnet capacity in Pohang from approximately 1,000 metric tons to approximately 10,000 metric tons, pending installation of ULVAC equipment
- The Army notice states it is for planning purposes only and does not commit the Government to contract for any supply
