Tera Minerals is a U.S.-based consulting firm specializing in the export of rare earth minerals and permanent magnets — connecting emerging American producers with manufacturers in any country seeking a reliable, non-Chinese supply source.
China refines the overwhelming majority of the world's rare earth magnets. Manufacturers everywhere — from EV and wind turbine producers to defense and electronics companies — are actively seeking alternative, reliable sources. Tera Minerals exists to make that connection possible, backed by emerging U.S. rare earth production reaching commercial scale in 2026.
The rare earth and critical minerals trade is held back by a basic mismatch between who has the material and who needs it.
We focus on the elements global manufacturers most need to diversify their supply chains, sourced from emerging U.S. producers.
Essential for high-temperature permanent magnets used in EV traction motors, wind turbines, and defense systems. Sourced from producers in Texas and California.
Used in grain-boundary diffusion to improve magnet coercivity and thermal performance. Sourced from producers in Texas and Colorado.
Critical for semiconductors and power electronics manufacturing. Sourced from U.S. producers including the Round Top deposit in Texas.
Beyond raw elements, we supply finished sintered neodymium-iron-boron (NdFeB) magnets in the SH temperature series — the grade family most widely used in industrial motors, servo/BLDC drives, EV auxiliary motors, and wind turbine generators.
| Grade | (BH)max MGOe |

Max Operating Temp. |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| N42SH | 40 – 43 | 12.8 – 13.3 | ≥ 12.0 | 150°C / 302°F |
| N45SH | 43 – 46 | 13.2 – 13.7 | ≥ 12.5 | 150°C / 302°F |
| N48SH | 46 – 49 | 13.6 – 14.1 | ≥ 12.8 | 150°C / 302°F |
SH-series grades offer a strong balance of magnetic strength and thermal stability, with a Curie temperature around 340°C providing headroom above the 150°C operating ceiling. Exact grade selection depends on your motor's permeance coefficient, peak current, and worst-case ambient temperature — share your operating conditions and we'll help confirm the right grade off the demagnetization curve.
From sourcing to compliance to final delivery, we help both U.S. producers and international manufacturers navigate the export process.
We help manufacturers worldwide qualify U.S.-based rare earth and magnet suppliers, managing the technical and commercial diligence process from start to finish.
For American producers, we identify and qualify international buyers, map global demand, and navigate destination-market requirements.
We build the documentation, licensing, and end-use certification infrastructure required under U.S. Export Administration Regulations (EAR) for any destination country.
Once a relationship is qualified, we help structure supply agreements and coordinate the logistics to move material to its destination.
