The first pilot plant at Phalaborwa was for carbonate, this one will be sulphate. HCl is slightly more efficent but the onsite source of sulphuric acid is almost free. $5 per ton.

As for the Brazilian mines, the quantity and composition of the Rare Earths and other elements in the various phosphoric acid and phosphogypsum plants in Brazil is detailed here.

>not 100% on whether the radioactive elements are present in the carbonate after stage 1 processing, or if they stay with the gypsum stream.

All reactive elements will be in the mixed sulphate. The Uranium is about 1 in 14000 concentration in the MRES.

George and his teams previous experience of the K-Tech process was in Uranium mining/processing. So if the is an economic quantity of Uranium I'm sure they will extract it.

Actually its been audited in the PEA by a qualified person.

So, not so much as calling him a liar as contradicting a verified fact with a lie.

Test work done, patent applied for and Pilot Plant constructed and so...

We'll find out in a few weeks

Patent applied for and Pilot Plant constructed so...

"Plans for Australia's Lynas to build a U.S. rare earths refinery with a Texas-based partner have collapsed, according to two sources familiar with the matter. Lynas has said it is trying to finish a rare earths refinery in Western Australia that has faced hurdles and is building its own plant elsewhere in Texas.

MP's goal of refining its own rare earth metals in 2020 was snagged by COVID-19 pandemic and technical challenges, shifting its target to"

Yes it's failed.

Do you want to give us the weather forecast too?

As per the article, they have abandoned the build of a plant.

Turns out its difficult doing it the old fashion way.

And risky

As per the RNS 99.9% pure Nd and Pr were produced in a continous lab process.

The pilot plant is not to experiment on a process flow, that was finished two years ago. The plant is to prove the process works scaled up and continously, and to allow further refinement.

>>could distinguish bastnäsite from monazite, then you would probably understand the difficulty of extracting REE.

Monumentally irrelevant...

Thanks for this.

This is the sort of deal that RBW will be offered.

After LYC failure it will become even more imperative for the USA..

RBW were successful in extracting RE in a continuous lab process. You seem to be suggesting that Mosaic have not signed a MoU with RBW to setup a plant, even though they quite obviously have

The difference between Mosaic and RBW is that Mosaic are a Phosphor production company. They haven't built a new plant in decades.

Whereas RBW team have 30 to 100 project behind them, specialise in this process and have a working samples and two Pilot plants.

Georges team must be some of the most experienced mining engineers in Africa. Adonis Pouroulis is famous in Africa for his mining investments. Both choose this project because they know what they are doing.

This is why Mosaic have teamed up with RBW, they don't have the skills in house and RBW are the only company that do.

Few weeks to first oxide production. Once finished with the South African stack the pilot plant will switch to the Brazilian stack.

We will know then how good the process is.

MP materials processing plant produced RE that were "useless". The are limited to shipping MREC to China for processing at minimal profit.

The risk of building a plant, when you don't know what you are doing...

These new ionic earth discovery's have half the capex and half the opex costs of hard rock miners.

after mp materials processing plant failure, lynas abandon attempts at hard rock re processing.

processing re is high risk and needs a pilot plant.

pre are ****ed.

peas brain, florida phosphates have a lower re content.

see my previous post.

how ******* thick can you be?

RBW, the only company with two projects.

There are also three more potential projects

Morrocco, on back burner while method found to increase concentration.

SA acid extract. No need yet, but possible that gypsum extract is simpler as we already have the plant and tech to do it.

Third project. No news yet.

There are also four more gypsum sites in Brazil for future operations.

Still doing the same thing, extracting REE cheaper and cleaner than anyone else.

Well thats a load of your usual garbage.

There has been extensive lab work, if you were not so mind- numbingly stupid you would have read the RNS, PFS and seen the results

First, the original pilot plant produce a viable MREC (carbonate) with high NdPr content.

Next, a full flowsheet for the process to MRES (Sulphate) was developed and run continuously in the lab

Now a Pilot planet hast started and is producing the Sulphate.

This Sulphate has commercial playability of 65% of NdPR metal

The CIC/CIX process has be used for decades by companies for purification of Uranium

The process has also been tested on RE extraction from coal mine waste and is part of a pilot plant for RE extraction in N. America

We will be seeing the results of the RBW Pilot plant in a few weeks.

The coin for you has stopped.

You do not have shares in New Cineworld.

It's absolutely none of your business.

Old Cine is dead.
