Ridgecrest Realty respectfully submits for your consideration an industrial land opportunity located at 13057 Athol Street in Trona, San Bernardino County, California. This property is positioned to support the development of a rare-earth processing or ancillary facility in a region with a long-established mineral processing heritage.
The Searles Valley has served for decades as a proven industrial setting through the operations of Searles Valley Minerals and its receiving and processing plant. That facility has historically leveraged dedicated rail service, on-site power generation, and a steam-extraction methodology to recover and process mineral-rich brines at scale. Together, these attributes have demonstrated the viability of Trona as a location for energy-intensive and logistics-driven mineral operations.
The Athol Street property is strategically situated within this established industrial ecosystem. Its proximity to existing power infrastructure, rail-served transport corridors, and a workforce and community familiar with mineral processing make it a compelling candidate for the expansion of domestic rare-earth processing capacity. In the context of increasing emphasis on secure, U.S.-based critical mineral supply chains, Trona offers a unique opportunity to build upon the historic model exemplified by Searles Valley Minerals’ receiving plant and associated power and steam systems, while incorporating modern technology, environmental controls, and operational best practices.
Ridgecrest Realty would welcome the opportunity to provide MP Materials with detailed information on site characteristics, zoning, utilities, and transportation access, and to coordinate any preliminary due diligence or site visits your team may deem appropriate. This correspondence is intended to introduce the strategic potential of 13057 Athol Street; a more comprehensive data package can be made available at your request.
Thank you for your time and consideration of this opportunity. Please feel free to contact the undersigned to discuss how this property may align with MP Materials’ long-term objectives for rare-earth processing and related infrastructure.
