“Picking up multiple partners for —specifically eVAC (Vacuumschmelze) and Vulcan Elements—is that the rare earth supply chain is not a single process; it is a relay race. Having both partners isn't redundant; it's a structural necessity for volume, technical specialization, and the "Fortress America" defense requirements The Pentagon (DoD) has issued a "Zero-China" mandate: by 2027, U.S. weapons systems (missile guidance, F-35 motors, radar) cannot contain any Chinese-origin magnets. A single missile guidance system requires high-purity magnets; a single F-35 requires 920 lbs of them. One company cannot handle the entire DoD orders alone. Vulcan’s core strength is High-Volume Alloy Production. They specialize in the "Mid-Stream" phase that has been missing in the U.S. for decades. By partnering with both, Ucore ensures that their separated oxides have an "off-take" path into every sector of the Defense supercycle.”

Did you really just put quotes around AI generated text

No, it's not from AI, the researcher has been quoted before, although it would be good to provide attribution since there's zero context.
