‘Utmost Importance’
JHL Capital owns 65 percent of the Mountain Pass venture, which does business under the name MP Materials. New York-based QVT Financial LP has a 25 percent share, while Chinese firm Leshan Shenghe Rare Earth Co. holds the rest.
The owners want Mountain Pass to build processing capacity in the U.S. in about 18 months, Litinsky said. The mine restarted this year after being mothballed in 2015 when its previous owners Molycorp Inc. entered bankruptcy.
Asked if his company has consulted with the U.S. on the tariffs, Litinsky said: “We’ve had a number of discussions with people in government and we believe they are certainly receptive to us. There’s a strong bipartisan view that creating an American rare earths industry is of utmost importance.”
