Exhibit 99.1
Evolution Metals & Technologies Corp. Joins Russell 3000® and Russell 2000® Indexes, Gaining Exposure to $12.2 Trillion in Benchmarked Assets
U.S. rare earth permanent magnet producer becomes a constituent of both indexes effective at the opening of U.S. equity markets on September 21, 2026, following finalization of FTSE Russell’s third-quarter 2026 quarterly IPO additions
MIAMI, FL, September 21, 2026 – Evolution Metals & Technologies Corp. (“EM&T” or the “Company”) (Nasdaq: EMAT), a U.S.-based critical materials and advanced manufacturing company producing rare earth permanent magnets, battery materials and related critical minerals, today announced that it has joined the broad-market Russell 3000® Index and the small-cap Russell 2000® Index, effective as of the opening of U.S. equity markets today, Monday, September 21, 2026. The addition was finalized through FTSE Russell’s third-quarter 2026 quarterly IPO additions process, placing EM&T in two of the most widely tracked U.S. equity benchmarks in its first year as a Nasdaq-listed company.
Membership in the Russell 2000® Index results in automatic inclusion in the broad-market Russell 3000® Index and in the applicable Russell U.S. style indexes. According to FTSE Russell, approximately $12.2 trillion in assets are benchmarked to or invested in products based on the Russell U.S. Indexes, which institutional investors use for index funds and as benchmarks for both active and passive strategies. As an official constituent, EM&T is now being incorporated into index-tracking investment products and institutional portfolios, and is immediately eligible for active managers whose mandates require benchmark membership.
“Joining the Russell 2000 and Russell 3000 indexes is a defining capital-markets milestone for EM&T and a direct reflection of the operational and commercial execution we have delivered since our Nasdaq listing earlier this year,” said Christopher Clower, Chief Financial Officer and Chief Operating Officer of EM&T. “In eight months we have moved EM&T into commercial-scale production. We have validated our non-China supply chain, secured ex-China NdPr feedstock, advanced our Pohang infrastructure expansion to scale annual magnet production to 10,000 metric tons, and established initial revenue guidance of $400 million to $460 million for fiscal 2027. Constituent status in two of the most widely followed U.S. equity benchmarks puts EM&T directly in front of the institutional capital that indexes to them, and it comes as the market moves to meet the critical defense sourcing requirements taking effect under DFARS on January 1, 2027.”
The index additions coincide with the ongoing commercial expansion of EM&T’s rare earth permanent magnet platform in Pohang, Republic of Korea. Supported by a 750-megawatt electrical infrastructure agreement with KEPCO and thirteen additional ULVAC sintered magnet production machines scheduled for delivery in November 2026, the Company is ramping annual production capacity to approximately 10,000 metric tons, including 6,000 metric tons of high-performance sintered NdFeB magnets, utilizing secured non-China NdPr feedstock.
