REE SEPARATION BREAKTHROUGH

Proprietary process has significant advantages over solvent extraction

PHYSICAL SEPARATION

Concept proven on small industrial scale for over 60 years;

Proven on large industrial scale for over 60 years;

SOLVENT EXTRACTION

Separation in sequence from Lanthanum to Lutetium;

Hundreds of cycles to purify all REE;

HREE are last and very difficult;

CAPEX range from $300M to $600M (outside China);

Chemical (organic solvent) intensive;

Knowhow restricted to China.

Simultaneous separation of all REE and impurities;

Few steps anticipated to purify all REE;

HREE are easy and simultaneous;

CAPEX to confirm but likely under $300M;

Electricity as consumable;

Predictable behavior of REE ions electrophoretic mobility.
