Here's some more exciting news about rare earth elements.

Rare earth elements are at the core of almost all of our modern tools and conveniences. Here's an interesting piece from ScienceNews that explains their unique capabilities in luminescence and magnetism. https://lnkd.in/g-tNmV57

We are excited for the future of mineral processing in the United States! https://lnkd.in/dgWNB33N

MMLLC agrees. Tailings, and a well-thought-out approach to recycling processes can be a source of extra revenue, reduce environmental impact, and improve mineral recovery and grade. Great read here on how that thinking is transforming mineral processing operations in Peru.

🚀 Celebrating 5 years in business this week! 🚀 Our newly refreshed visual identity reinforces our commitment to the mining industry and complements our growing team and services. With our deep expertise in mineral processing operations and outside-the-box approach, we are primed to deliver valuable solutions to our partners throughout the mining industry.

We're celebrating 5 years in business today! McKeon Mining LLC launched back in 2019 with the vision of making mineral processing operations efficient, sustainable, and profitable. We've had some incredible partners and projects over the years that have done exactly that. Today our team shares the same vision and innovative spirit and we're looking forward to building on our success!

Good read! A smart approach to tailings management reduces waste, limits environmental impact, optimizes recovery, and increases revenue... all at the same time.

The US Geological Survey's critical minerals list highlights key elements critical to the U.S. economy and national security. The list of 50 mineral commodities emphasizes the growing importance of rare earth elements. At McKeon Mining, we recognize these minerals' vital role in our society across the board... including electronics, energy, defense, transportation, and beyond. Our dedication to sustainability and efficiency keeps us ahead of the curve, optimizing mineral processing plant designs to recover these essential minerals with minimal waste. Building on our real-world success in tailings reprocessing and innovative flowsheet optimizations, we're well-equipped to help you achieve sustainable solutions that enhance resource stewardship and unlock new revenue opportunities in mineral processing. https://lnkd.in/gmmG_Cuw

Lab tables excel at producing high-grade concentrates with good recovery rates, but often, we attempt to accomplish too much in a single step. Instead of striving for a single-step solution, consider implementing a "middling recycling" step to mimic the multi-stage efficiency of plant operations. By recirculating middlings, we can separate the concentrate and tailings into clean products while reintroducing them into the feed for further processing. To make it work, modify a submersible sump pump from a hardware store by removing the on-off float switch and wiring it to an outlet switch. Connect the pump discharge to a tee with two ball valves to control flow back to the feed and toggle middling recirculation inside the bucket. (From the lab of Tim McKeon)
