10X is expected to contribute to roughly 10,000 metric tons per year of total MP U.S. NdFeB magnet capacity once operational.

• Scaling from operating assets to 10X nameplate magnet capacity.
• Heavy rare-earth availability and qualification for high-coercivity magnets.
• Customer qualification and sustained production yield during ramp-up.

• The 10X release cites more than 1,500 planned direct manufacturing and engineering jobs.
• MP frames North Texas manufacturing depth as part of the site-selection logic.

Do not treat the 10X capacity figure as current operating output; it is tied to a planned campus and later commissioning.
