Five metric ton delivery from SRE Vietnam operationalizes Evolution’s ex-China feedstock chain for U.S. defense-compliant high-performance rare earth permanent magnets

Delivery further aligns the Company with the July 20, 2026 White House Executive Order on critical defense supply chains and the January 1, 2027 DFARS deadline restricting prohibited-country rare earth magnets in U.S. defense systems, and the $12 Billion Project Vault

MIAMI, FL, July 22, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) —  Evolution Metals & Technologies Corp. (“EM&T” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ:EMAT), a U.S.-based midstream critical materials and advanced manufacturing company specializing in rare earth permanent magnets, battery materials, and related technologies, today announced that it has taken delivery of the first shipment of five metric tons of NdPr metals for the manufacture of high performance magnets that are compliant with new federal regulations requiring U.S. defense systems to exclude magnets that are sourced or originated from certain prohibited countries. The Company views this development as directly aligned with the Trump administration’s July 20, 2026 Executive Order “Securing America’s Defense Supply Chains and Ensuring Domestic Acquisition of Critical Materials”, as well as with the existing January 1, 2027 DFARS 252.225-7052 sourcing deadline for rare earth permanent magnets in U.S. defense systems.
