Developments in magnets and magnetic materials are prominent in $17 million of awards by the U.S. Department of Energy to boost domestic production and resources of critical materials. The new funding from the DOE’s Advanced […]
Ionic Technologies, a Northern Ireland-based subsidiary of Australian minerals company Ionic Rare Earths, has secured significant new grant funding from the British government that support developing collaborative rare earth element supply chains within the UK. Two grants have been awarded under Innovate UK’s Climates program involving Ionic and several program partners — Vacuumschmelze, Less Common Metals, the Materials Processing Institute and Swansea University.
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.

Uranium mining company Energy Fuels, riding a wave of high prices for its radioactive ore, has commissioned its mill in White Pass, Utah to add commercial production of neodymium praseodymium as a secondary product. With two new deals tapping properties in Australia and Madagascar, and a key executive appointment, the company is advancing further toward becoming a significant supplier of processed magnetic rare earths in North America. […]
A new industrial-scale rare earth oxides separation plant is scheduled to start up soon in Norway. Located in Heroya, the plant belongs to REEtec which has been operating a demonstration plant at the site since […]
Neo Performance Materials’ subsidiary in Estonia, NPM Narva, also known as Magnequench Sintered Magnets, is finalizing a contract award to supply sintered rare earth magnets to a leading European Tier 1 supplier of electric vehicle […]
Two efforts to build a supply chain in Europe for rare earth resources and magnets are bringing together a cluster of industry and academic players spanning the continent — and reaching even to Beatrice, Nebraska in the USA for processing ore samples from an idyllic field in Norway. Among entities linked to the projects are research technology development firm RTD Talos in Cyprus, research institute SINTEF in Norway, along with REE Minerals in Norway and American processing firm Rare Earth Salts in Nebraska.
