Throughout an October 2024 CDF go to by the DoD, the Firm reported that it has accomplished 60% of the acknowledged targets within the Undertaking’s Assertion of Work, together with:
-
Institution of an enhanced on-site analytical laboratory to help 120 hours every week of scheduled shift work
-
Establishment of a Steady Enchancment Program to make sure a “copy and paste” RapidSX™ expertise switch from Kingston, Ontario, to Ucore’s growing industrial REE separation plant in Alexandria, Louisiana – the Louisiana Strategic Metals Complicated (“SMC“)
-
Completion of over 2,600 hours of Demo Plant runtime
-
Processing over 3 tonnes of REE derived from a heavy uncommon earth component ionic clay sourced MREO
-
Producing over 57,000 liters of uncommon earth chloride raffinates and 57,000 liters of uncommon earth chloride strip liquors
-
Direct comparisons of the RapidSX™ Demo Plant in opposition to the smaller scale standard SX Pilot Plant for purity and restoration – with each outcome to this point indicating that RapidSX™ is the same as or superior
-
Working in the direction of the institution of a industrial REE Western provide chain:
-
Conducting roughly thirty CDF excursions for the reason that Undertaking kickoff with US and Canadian authorities entities, REE useful resource firms, REE magnet and metallic makers, automotive OEMs, uncommon earth oxide (“REO“) customers, worldwide buying and selling firms, financiers, and different present and potential SMC companions
-
Leading to a number of preliminary agreements for MREC or MREO provide and growing oxide offtake preparations for the Louisiana SMC
-
“The DoD work that Ucore is performing in Kingston is important to the industrial deployment of our RapidSX™ separation expertise in Louisiana,” acknowledged Mike Schrider, P.E., Vice President and Chief Working Officer of Ucore. “The operation of our demonstration-scale plant de-risks the industrial scale-up and permits Ucore the chance to draw like-minded Western companions because the Firm works to help in establishing an alternate uncommon earth provide chain – significantly for heavy uncommon parts that are important to the operation of uncommon earth everlasting magnets at elevated temperatures in navy, industrial and client autos and robots.”
The Firm will proceed the execution of its DoD heavy REE Undertaking via the primary half of 2025 after which transition to the completion of its beforehand introduced C$4.28M mild REE demonstration undertaking with the Authorities of Canada.
