SOUTH BOSTON, Va., June 01, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — IperionX Limited (IperionX) (NASDAQ: IPX, ASX: IPX) is pleased to announce positive titanium fastener test results from independent testing programs completed by the U.S. Army DEVCOM Ground Vehicle Systems Center (GVSC) and Westmoreland Mechanical Testing & Research (WMTR).

The testing programs evaluated titanium fasteners produced using IperionX patented technologies against comparable high-strength SAE Grade 8 steel fasteners currently used in demanding defense and industrial applications. The results demonstrate that IperionX titanium fasteners can deliver high-strength steel-benchmark mechanical performance while retaining the weight-reduction and corrosion-resistance advantages associated with titanium.

HIGHLIGHTS

• Independent, third-party product-level validation: Testing completed by the U.S. Army Combat Capabilities Development Command (DEVCOM) Ground Vehicle Systems Center (GVSC) and Westmoreland Mechanical Testing & Research (WMTR) validates the performance of IperionX titanium fasteners manufactured with advanced patented titanium technologies
• Torque-to-yield performance above Grade 8 steel: IperionX 3/4-10 x 3.0-inch titanium Ti-6Al-4V fasteners demonstrated yield torque of 563 to 615 ft-lbf in U.S. Army DEVCOM GVSC testing, compared with approximately 480 to 502 ft-lbf for SAE Grade 8 steel fasteners. Based on the midpoint, the IperionX result was nearly 20% above the high-strength Grade 8 steel benchmark
• Lighter, stronger titanium fasteners with repeatability: Across independent 3/8-16 x 1.0-inch testing, IperionX titanium fasteners achieved average yield torque greater than high-strength Grade 8 steel fasteners, with three of five titanium fasteners not yielding at the U.S. Army strength test protocol limit
• Independent tensile results exceed aerospace-grade titanium benchmarks: WMTR tensile testing under ASTM F606/F606M-25a on IperionX 3/4-10 titanium fasteners, confirmed 135 to 137 ksi yield strength and 149 to 152 ksi ultimate tensile strength – ~15% above the industry standard for aerospace-grade titanium fasteners
• Fully domestic, secure U.S. titanium supply chain: The results support IperionX’s patented manufacturing technologies for high-value, performance-critical finished titanium components for defense, aerospace, marine and advanced industrial applications

IperionX CEO Taso Arima said:

“These results represent a key independent validation milestone for IperionX’s high-performance titanium fasteners manufactured with our advanced patented titanium technologies.

“High-strength titanium fasteners are a large-volume repeat-order component category across defense, aerospace, marine and industrial platforms, where weight reduction, corrosion resistance, lifecycle performance and supply assurance are strategically important.

“Testing completed by the U.S. Army DEVCOM GVSC showed IperionX titanium fasteners delivered higher torque-to-yield performance than high-strength Grade 8 steel fasteners, and independent WMTR testing confirmed high-strength steel-benchmark tensile performance.

“Notably, IperionX titanium fasteners exceeded the U.S. Army’s test limits and required substantially higher torque ranges to determine yield performance.

“These successful independent test results highlight our progress in building an all-American titanium supply chain that can support U.S. defense, aerospace and advanced industrial sectors.”

Performance results

U.S. Army DEVCOM GVSC completed torque-to-failure and torque-tension testing on IperionX 3/8-16 x 1.0-inch and 3/4-10 x 3.0-inch titanium Ti-6Al-4V fasteners, comparing their performance against conventional high-strength Grade 8 steel fasteners and aerospace grade titanium fasteners used in demanding industrial and defense applications.

In the 3/4-10 fastener test program, IperionX titanium fasteners did not yield at the initial test limit established for high-strength Grade 8 steel. GVSC subsequently increased the test range to determine titanium fastener yield behavior. IperionX titanium fasteners demonstrated yield torque of 563 to 615 ft-lbf, compared with 480 to 502 ft-lbf for high-strength Grade 8 steel fasteners under the same test program.

In the 3/8-16 fastener test program, IperionX titanium fasteners successfully achieved average yield torque above high-strength Grade 8 steel fasteners. Three of five IperionX titanium fasteners did not yield at the initial Army test protocol limit.

Independent tensile strength testing

WMTR completed ASTM F606/F606M-25a tensile testing on IperionX 3/4-10 x 3.0-inch Ti-6Al-4V titanium fasteners. IperionX titanium fasteners achieved 135 to 137 ksi yield strength and 149 to 152 ksi ultimate tensile strength, above typical aerospace Grade 5 titanium fastener benchmarks and at, or above, key high-strength Grade 8 steel fastener benchmarks.

Commercial relevance for defense and aerospace supply chains

Titanium fasteners are a high-volume, high-value repeat-purchase category across aerospace, defense, marine and industrial applications where corrosion resistance, weight reduction and high-strength performance are critical.

Titanium Ti-6Al-4V is typically 40% to 45% lighter than steel and delivers strategic lightweighting for increased payload capacity, heavier armor allowances and extended operational ranges. However, widespread use of titanium fasteners has been constrained by cost, availability and the ability to produce low-cost, high-performance fasteners at scale.

The test results are strategically important because they support a pathway for titanium fasteners to address applications where high-strength mechanical performance, lower component weight, corrosion resistance and secure domestic supply are vital for customers.

The successful program supports IperionX’s strategy to build an end-to-end U.S. titanium supply chain for lower-cost titanium products for the defense industrial base and U.S. Army development activities for ground vehicles. IperionX’s titanium manufacturing platform offers a secure domestic source of high-performance titanium components aligned with U.S. priorities on defense industrial-base resilience, supply assurance and advanced manufacturing capability.

Proprietary technology advantage

IperionX’s proprietary HSPT and THRM technologies convert titanium powder into high-performance titanium components with refined microstructures and mechanical properties suitable for demanding applications.

The U.S. Army and independent testing results validate IperionX’s patented titanium powder-to-product manufacturing platform. They highlight that IperionX high-strength titanium fasteners can exceed titanium industry strength benchmarks and compete with high-strength steel thresholds while retaining titanium’s exceptional weight and corrosion-resistance advantages.

The first of two shipments of New Zealand’s diesel reserve is now on its way to New Zealand, Finance Minister Nicola Willis and Associate Energy Minister Shane Jones say.

The fuel was loaded on 31 May and is now en route to Marsden Point in Northland, where it is expected to arrive mid-June (16-18 June). The second shipment is expected to arrive in early July. 

Channel Infrastructure is continuing work to refurbish two former crude oil tanks at Marsden Point to create around 93 million litres of capacity for the diesel. The tanks will be ready to receive the fuel when the first shipment arrives.

Together, the two shipments represent around nine days’ of typical diesel consumption for the country.

The additional supply will not count towards the fuel companies’ minimum stockholding obligations, and will be controlled by the Government.

Nicola Willis says the reserve will strengthen New Zealand’s fuel security and resilience.

“Diesel is critical to keeping New Zealand moving. It powers freight, agriculture, construction and many of the services New Zealanders rely on every day.

“Having additional diesel available in New Zealand provides greater resilience and gives New Zealanders confidence that we are better prepared for potential supply disruptions,” Nicola Willis says.

“The Crown and Z Energy agreed that the company will own and manage the reserve stocks. How and when the reserve is used will be decided by ministers,” Shane Jones says.

The refurbishment of the tanks at Marsden Point is being paid for by up to $21.6 million from the Regional Infrastructure Fund.

Commissioner Richard Chambers has congratulated two members of Police who are today recognised with royal honours.

Inspectors Ross Grantham (Central District) and Neru (Nu) Leifi (Canterbury District) are both made a Member of the New Zealand Order of Merit (MNZM).

Ross has been honoured for services to New Zealand Police and Nu has been honoured for services to New Zealand Police and the community.

Commissioner Chambers says these awards are well-deserved recognition for their decades of Police service and deep connections made in their communities.

“They are role models to us all, having made outstanding contributions within New Zealand and internationally.

“I’m really proud of what they have achieved for Police, with careers that have shown the highest level of service and care to others, as well as a significant commitment to leadership and training.

“Their service has been both distinguished and exemplary, and I thank them sincerely for it.”

Inspector Ross Grantham was farewelled from Police in January and officially retires in October from his final role as Manawatu Area Commander.

Over nearly 48 years of policing and involvement in some of New Zealand’s most significant investigations and operations, Ross has been at the forefront of challenging for improvement. This saw him using forensic science advances in new ways, and developing new approaches to the practice of investigative interviewing and interviewing family harm victims.

He was responsible for developing the Investigative Interviewing programme for New Zealand Police with specialist witness interviewing of children and adults, and he influenced the introduction of family violence victim interviews on Police mobility devices.

His roles in Police have included National Manager Interviewing and National Crime Manager.

Ross also served overseas as part of the international investigation team responding to the Bali bombings, and later in an exchange as Area Commander Sturt for South Australia Police.

“It has been a huge, humbling surprise and privilege to be nominated for this award,” he says.

“I firmly believe I have achieved nothing by myself, and policing has been the best job ever because of all the great people I worked with inside and outside Police.

“I want to acknowledge those I worked alongside as I learnt my craft as a police officer, those I was later able to pass my learnings on to, and the victims, witnesses and experts I interacted with across the years.

“Most of all I am grateful to the support I have received from my wonderful wife, family and extended family – and the sacrifices they made so I could focus on what I needed to do for the community.”

Ross also acknowledges his late brother Sergeant Gordon Grantham QSM for inspiring him to join Police.

“It is fitting that at this time I honour all he did to set me on this path and the service he gave across his 48 years in Police.”

Inspector Nu Leifi (Ngāti Porou, Tokomaru Bay, Ngati Hamoa) has served Police for over 40 years and currently is the Māori, Pacific and Ethnic Services Manager in Canterbury District and a member of the Armed Offenders Squad. He has been honoured for his contribution to the community as well as his service to Police.

Across his Police career Nu has made a significant contribution to the Christchurch Pacific community, spearheading family violence prevention initiatives and building strong partnerships to create better outcomes.

His impact has been across the wider Pacific through his work with the Pacific Policing Programme, contribution to training, and support to peacekeeping efforts. Closer to home he has been involved in many large operations, including leading a major rescue after the 2011 Christchurch earthquakes.

He has also been a mentor and coach to youth in Christchurch.

“When I first got the email, I genuinely thought it was a prank, so my first instinct was to figure out who was behind it,” he says.

“Once I realised it was real, I was completely taken aback. I feel deeply humbled and honoured in a way I can’t quite explain. Even now I still struggle to put that feeling into words.

“For me, service has always been at the centre of everything. In Samoan, we say ‘o le ala i le pule o le tautua,’ which means ‘the pathway to leadership is through service’ – and that’s something I’ve tried to live by throughout my career.

“I don’t think there’s a better way to serve than by getting alongside our communities, listening to them, and working in genuine partnership.

“It means a great deal to be recognised at this level – to go through that whole process and have it signed off by the King. But I genuinely believe this recognition isn’t about me. I’ve been lucky to work alongside a lot of great colleagues over the years – people I’ve leaned on, learned from, and grown with.

“My wife has been my biggest supporter. Even after the toughest days, she has a way of bringing me back down to earth – she reminds me to pick up some bread and milk on my way home.

“That ‘bread and milk’ reminder says it all – you’ve done your job, now come home. Stay grounded, stay connected to your family.”

Their investitures will take place later in the year.

You can find more details of their achievements in their citation below.

Foreign Minister Winston Peters held talks with a range of Polynesian leaders in Samoa over the long weekend. 

“It’s been an honour to attend Samoa’s Independence Day commemorations today, and hold talks while in Apia with the leaders of Samoa, Tonga and Tokelau,” Mr Peters says. 

“While today has been one of celebration for Samoa, it’s also clear the conflict in the Middle East, and consequent fuel supply and cost issues, are having a big impact on our region.

“We discussed New Zealand’s support for the Pacific Islands region as it deals with the fuel crisis, and our coordination with partners such as Australia, the United States, the World Bank and the ADB on this matter,” Mr Peters said. 

“We’ve reiterated that New Zealand stands with our Polynesian partners at this challenging time.”        

While in Apia, Mr Peters held bilateral meetings in Apia with Samoan Prime Minister La’aulialemalietoa, Tongan Prime Minister Lord Fakafanua and Ulu of Tokelau Faipule Alapati Tavite. As is traditional when visiting Samoa, Mr Peters also called on the Leader of the Opposition Tuilaʻepa Saʻilele Malielegaoi.

As well as cost of living, the future of Moana Pasifika was a topic of discussion during Mr Peters’ visit to Samoa. 

 “Rugby is a huge part of New Zealand and Polynesian culture – and Moana Pasifika’s future is important to the governments and people of Samoa and Tonga, as well as to New Zealand’s Pacific communities and rugby fans,” Mr Peters says. 

“It would be a seriously regrettable if Moana Pasifika were unable to take part in future Super Rugby seasons and we want to make sure every option is explored to try to find a sound business proposition and sustainable economic footing for the team.   

“We indicated to Prime Ministers La’aulialemalietoa and Lord Fakafanua that New Zealand shares Samoa and Tonga’s aspiration that Moana Pasifika can continue to play in future seasons. 

“Accordingly, we have instructed our officials to engage with NZ Rugby and other stakeholders with urgency to explore all possible options for a financially sustainable future for Moana Pasifika.”   

Mr Peters returns to New Zealand later today.
