In the United States, efforts are underway to reduce dependence on China for rare earth magnets. A company in New Hampshire is working to separate critical elements from mining waste using electrolysis. The process aims to produce these elements domestically, which is a goal of the US administration.

A refinery in Exeter, New Hampshire, is involved in this effort, with plans to expand its capacity. Further details on this development are available from the source, including information on the timeline and funding for the expansion of the refinery's operations.
