In a statement, IperionX Limited (NASDAQ:IPX) said that the deal, amounting to $300,000, has the potential to increase significantly upon successful delivery of the initial scope of work.

IperionX Limited (NASDAQ:IPX) said that replacing steel components with titanium is expected to reduce combat systems’ weight by 40 to 45 percent, or several hundred kilograms per vehicle, enabling faster acceleration and better agility, increased operational range and survivability, and reduced ground pressure, improving traction and flotation on soft or uneven terrain.

“IperionX is the only domestic US producer of commercial-scale primary titanium metal, a material that is designated as strategic and critical by the US Government,” IperionX Limited (NASDAQ:IPX) said.

“This purchase order directly supports US government priorities to reshore and secure critical materials supply chains, reduce reliance on foreign titanium sources, and expand domestic manufacturing capacity using recycled feedstocks,” it added.
