USA Rare Earth Inc

USA Rare Earth, Inc. (USAR) completed its previously announced merger with Texas Mineral Resources Corp. (TMRC) on August 7, 2026, a deal first announced March 4, 2026. Under the merger agreement, each TMRC share was converted into 0.043279843 shares of USAR common stock, based on 88,339,693 TMRC shares outstanding on a fully diluted basis, resulting in the issuance of approximately 3,823,328 new USAR shares to TMRC holders. The transaction was structured as a two-step merger with TMRC surviving as a wholly owned subsidiary of USAR. This acquisition consolidates two of the more prominent domestic rare earth development companies, with TMRC's Round Top deposit in Texas complementing USAR's Oklahoma-based operations — a strategically significant combination as the U.S. seeks to build a domestic critical minerals supply chain.
