AML’s CTO Philippe Masson to Speak at Rare Earth Mines, Magnets & Motors 2025

A torrent of financing commitments and infrastructure development are centered around Hastings Technology Metals of Perth, Australia as it builds toward the start of production in early 2025 at its Yangibana Rare Earths Project in remote Western Australia. […]

Creating clean, sustainable fusion energy requires strong magnetic fields to confine and control the extremely hot, positively-charged hydrogen fuel, which becomes a plasma several times hotter than the sun. Now, Tokamak Energy in the UK has built a world-first set of new generation high temperature superconducting (HTS) magnets to be assembled and tested in fusion power plant scenarios. The magnets use HTS tape from Furukawa Electric and SuperPower, a New York-based affiliate in the Furukawa Electric Group. […]

The Saskatchewan Research Council is lining up supplies of feedstock to funnel into its new rare earth processing facility in central Canada that is aimed to catalyze a mines-to-magnet supply chain for the country. In recent moves it has forged agreements with Hung Thinh Group to import rare earth carbonate from Vietnam and purchased $3 million worth of stockpiled rare earth material from Vital Metals – adding to previously arranged supplies to come from Commerce Resources’ Ashram property near Quebec. The actions come amidst resolute efforts by the provincial and federal governments to seize the economic opportunities that a domestic rare earths and magnet industry can mean – and by SRC to become an industry leader.  […]
