Ucore Rare Metals Inc. recently announced that a strategic consortium organized to recover rare earth element (REE) products from coal mining refuse in the United States has been selected by the US Department of Energy for the receipt of funding to produce a saleable REE oxide from US coal tailings.
The Consortium has been awarded $US 1 million to source, beneficiate, concentrate, and separate REE from US-based coal mining refuse (the “Grant”). The metal separation and purification process will utilize Molecular Recognition Technology (“MRT”), an American clean energy technology.
Ucore Rare Metals is a development-phase company focused on rare metals resources, extraction and beneficiation technologies with near term potential for production, growth and scalability.
