IMC Rare Earths Begins Trading on NYSE American Under Ticker Symbol “IMC”

Company seeking to establish one of the largest rare earth deposits outside China

NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--IMC Rare Earths Ltd. announced that its ordinary shares will commence trading on NYSE American today under the ticker symbol “IMC.”

IMC is advancing the Itarantim project, a large-scale clay deposit in northeastern Brazil that is especially rich with dysprosium and terbium, two rare earth magnet elements with multiple commercial and strategic applications, including in AI, robotics, advanced electronics and defense. The project’s inferred mineral resource is estimated at approximately 1.1 billion metric tons.

“This listing is an important milestone for IMC to help industry and government meet the surging demand for rare earths by creating a reliable supply beyond China,” said Frank Scolaro, founder, Chief Executive Officer and Chair of IMC Rare Earths. “Our deposits can help secure the necessary supplies for fast-growing and rapidly-evolving advanced technology and defense industries in the Americas and Europe. Brazil has the geology, we have the expertise and track record, and NYSE American provides us with the platform to increase the profile of this important project and access growth capital.”

The project’s location in Brazil combines a well-established mining jurisdiction with strong infrastructure, common-sense regulatory environment, experienced workforce and proximity to global markets.

To mark the occasion, Scolaro and his advisors are conducting a ceremonial first trade of the company’s shares on NYSE American at the New York Stock Exchange.

IMC Rare Earths was advised on the transaction by Robert D. Giannattasio, a partner at Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher LLP.

Roberts & Ryan, Inc., America’s first Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned institutional broker-dealer, served as lead-left bookrunning manager and representative of the underwriters for the IPO. It is believed that the offering represents the first initial public offering led by a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned broker-dealer and the first U.S. IPO led-left by a diversity-designated investment bank.
