At IperionX, sustainably ushering in the Titanium Age means more than becoming the leading developer of low carbon, sustainable critical materials supply chains for the US. To change the world, we have to start by making it a better place for the communities in which we operate our business. Meeting that goal begins by forging relationships based on trust, transparency, and accountability.

Since the doors of the IperionX Titan Project office first opened in March 2021, the people of Benton, Henry, and Carroll County, Tennessee, where one of the largest sources of titanium mineral and rare earth elements is located, have been welcomed at any time to ask questions, share their concerns, and express their hopes for the future. Our West Tennessee team plays a critical role in initiating relationships, building trust, maintaining on-going communications, and developing opportunities for the local community to learn about our mission and what the Titanium Age might mean for them and their families.
