REalloys Inc. (NASDAQ: ALOY) has provided additional details on the appointment of Dr. Muhammad Imran as its Chief Operating Officer, a role that became effective September 1, 2026, according to a press release from the Euclid, Ohio-based company.

Dr. Imran brings more than 17 years of experience at the Saskatchewan Research Council (SRC), where he most recently served as Chief Technology Officer and Vice President. Since 2020, he led SRC's Rare Earth Element Division and played a role in developing SRC's Rare Earth Processing Facility in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan.

In his new role, Dr. Imran will oversee REalloys' engineering and processing activities, capital-project execution, technology scale-up and supply-chain development.

REalloys has existing offtake agreements with SRC under which it has contracted to purchase the majority of SRC's planned production of specified rare-earth products, including NdPr metal and dysprosium and terbium oxides.

The company targets commissioning of approximately 150 metric tons per year of NdPr metallization capacity in the first quarter of 2027, followed by planned fully integrated production from monazite concentrate through separated rare-earth products to metals in the third quarter of 2027. The company noted these targets remain subject to successful project execution, commissioning and production ramp-up.

"Muhammad brings valuable experience in rare-earth technology development, scale-up and capital-project execution," said Lipi Sternheim, Chief Executive Officer of REalloys.

Dr. Imran holds a Ph.D. and MASc in Chemical Engineering, along with Professional Engineer and Chartered Director designations.
