Yes, in AZ. I think their first stage is done.
They also have one in Washington State and have had it since ‘96. The Camas facility, houses a 200mm wafer fabrication plant and supports process nodes ranging from 0.35 micrometers down to 0.16 micrometers.
The AZ complex will be 6 Fab plants and 2 advanced packaging facilities.

We have MP up and running they are even smelting with the magnet facility being built in Texas. There is another deposit that is in Texas being developed that will be huge as well.
Not to mention the National Labs are working with industry to commercialize their proven tech for extraction via coal waste ash!

China has gained the upper hand for at least a decade ahead as far as reports I have seen describe it.
