On October 14, 2025, 5E Advanced Materials, Inc. announced that it shipped 20 tons of boric acid from its Fort Cady operations in Hesperia, California. The shipment was made to support a specialty glass trial, validating the company’s operational capability to produce and deliver product at scale. The announcement was made by the company itself, confirming the event occurred today. The 20‑ton shipment marks a significant milestone in 5E’s commercial qualification program, demonstrating that the company can reliably produce boric acid that meets the stringent requirements of specialty glass manufacturers. This operational success is a critical step toward securing binding offtake agreements and advancing the company’s strategy to become a domestic supplier of critical materials for decarbonization and national security markets. Later in the week, 5E plans to ship an additional 1,000 pounds of boric acid for domestic boron carbide (B4C) production. This follow‑up shipment further underscores the company’s progress in scaling its production and supports its broader goal of establishing a U.S. supply chain for boron‑based materials. The combined shipments highlight 5E’s growing operational momentum and its potential to meet growing demand for boron and lithium derivatives.
