Blackboxstocks Inc Merger Target REalloys Enters Strategic Alliance with St George Mining

Blackboxstocks Inc. (NASDAQ: BLBX) announced that its merger target, REalloys Inc., has entered a strategic alliance with St George Mining to secure up to 40% of high-grade rare earths from Brazil’s Araxá Project. This partnership strengthens REalloys’ role in the U.S. rare earths supply chain, critical for defense, aerospace, and industrial magnet materials. Araxá, one of the world’s highest-grade rare earth deposits, will benefit from REalloys’ advanced metallization and alloying technologies. Supported by U.S. government contracts and its Euclid, Ohio facility, REalloys is building a vertically integrated supply chain with upstream (Hoidas Lake, Canada), midstream (Saskatchewan Research Council), and downstream operations. The alliance positions REalloys as a pivotal contributor to strengthening ex-China rare earth supply chains and U.S. industrial resilience.
