Rare Element Resources has received final permitting approval from the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) for Rare Earth processing and separation demonstration plant in Upton, Wyoming! Staffing at the plant is in place and operations shakedown are underway. https://lnkd.in/giSHbVE3 The Demonstration Plant, designed to advance RER's proprietary processing and separation technology, is expected to generate the operational & economic data necessary for the design of a commercial-scale plant. A major step forward, the commencement of operations is a carefully managed, phased process. RER is currently underway with this process, conducting final FAT testing, and completing checks on wiring, plumbing, and other key components. This thoughtful approach reflects RER's commitment to excellence and to progressing its innovative technology responsibly. This marks a significant step forward for U.S. rare earth production and RER's commitment to a secure, domestic REE supply chain. #RareEarths #Wyoming #USManufacturing #NationalSecurity #RareElementResources #RER

About us
Rare Element Resources (RER) Ltd. is publicly traded on the OTCQB under the symbol “REEMF.” RER is a strategic materials & technology company focused on developing the upstream domestic Rare Earth Element (REE) supply chain, from mine to separated Rare Earth Oxide (REO). The world-class Bear Lodge deposit contains high-quality rare earth minerals to provide a strategic supply of REOs to the US market for decades. More than $140M in private investment has been made by RER to characterize and develop the Bear Lodge deposit and to validate REE processing/separation technology. RER and its partner General Atomics (GA) have received a $21.9 million Department of Energy (DOE) grant and a $4.4 million Wyoming Energy Authority (WEA) grant to advance the REE processing / separation “Demonstration Plant” in Upton, WY, which will provide the design & economic data for Bear Lodge’s further development. RER is uniquely positioned to be the cornerstone of the domestic REE supply chain. RER, with its strategic partner GA, has pioneered technology that is capable of >99.5% separation purity of Nd/Pr oxide in fewer SX (solvent extraction) processing steps, compared to conventional SX technology used in China. This next-generation smart process control uses proprietary simulation software based on first-principle thermodynamics combined with real-time monitoring of REE concentrations. Along with recycling most chemicals, these advances are expected to yield higher recovery efficiencies, minimize costs, reduce process maintenance & labor requirements, remove radionuclides below regulatory limits, and be environmentally sustainable. RER Inc. is the operating company for, and a wholly owned subsidiary of, RER Ltd. RER Inc. employs all staff, controls all Bear Lodge assets and is responsible for all Bear Lodge-related liabilities, including permits, reclamation bonds, and insurance.

Rare Element Resources announced U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Operations Approval and additional cost-share funding to advance our groundbreaking demonstration plant—paving the way for a sustainable domestic supply of critical minerals. #RareEarth #Innovation #Wyoming
DOE's Advanced Materials & Manufacturing Technologies Office (AMMTO) project with General Atomics and Rare Element Resources completed construction of a first-of-its-kind rare earth extraction and separation #demonstrationfacility in Upton, Wyoming. This project is intended to prove scaled production of >99.5% pure NdPr oxide as well as other #rareearthelement streams utilizing the team's proprietary innovative technology and controls software. Successful completion and follow-on commercial applications will contribute to a secure domestic #criticalmaterials #supplychain. https://lnkd.in/ewHemFW9
