On October 22, 2025, Blackboxstocks Inc. (NASDAQ: BLBX) announced that its merger target, REAlloys Inc., has signed a Memorandum of Understanding with the Japan Organization for Metals and Energy Security (JOGMEC). The MOU establishes a strategic framework for collaboration in rare‑earth development, technology transfer, and industrial security, marking JOGMEC’s first engagement with a U.S. rare‑earth company.
The partnership aligns with the United States’ push to expand domestic rare‑earth capacity and strengthen supply‑chain independence from China. By combining JOGMEC’s technical expertise and financial leadership with REAlloys’ North American mine‑to‑magnet capabilities, the alliance is positioned to support defense, nuclear, robotics, electric aviation, and critical infrastructure markets.
Operationally, the collaboration will leverage REAlloys’ Hoidas Lake deposit—estimated at 2,153,000 tons of total rare‑earth oxides—alongside its Saskatchewan Research Council midstream processing and Euclid, Ohio, downstream production facilities. The joint effort aims to accelerate the production of high‑performance magnets and alloys for U.S. protected markets.
For investors, the MOU strengthens Blackboxstocks’ pivot into the critical‑minerals sector, potentially creating new revenue streams and enhancing the valuation of the post‑merger entity. The alliance positions the combined company as a key supplier in a strategically important industry, supporting national‑security objectives and aligning with growing demand for rare‑earth materials.
