ReElement Technologies Signs Uzbekistan Tungsten Agreement Following High-Purity Oxide Validation

Oct 26, 2026

3 minute read.

Highlights

  • ReElement Technologies and Uzbekistan state partners signed a commercial demonstration agreement following successful high-purity tungsten oxide production from Uzbek feedstock.
  • The deal advances a November 2025 MOU but lacks binding construction budgets, financing commitments, commercial offtake agreements, or production dates.
  • ReElement's proprietary chromatography process shows technical promise, but independent verification of purity, recovery rates, and cost per kilogram is still needed.
  • Uzbekistan aims to retain greater economic value through local refining rather than raw mineral exports, offering a potential model outside China's processing network.
  • ReElement is also active at its Indiana facility and in Malaysia, with REEx planning an on-site visit in December.
