Metal ingots were processed by the Saskatchewan Research Council (SRC) during a successful test run of the metals smelting unit at its under construction Rare Earth Processing Facility.
First large-scaled production of magnet metals in Canada were processed at SRC's under-construction Rare Earth Processing Facility.
The fully integrated, three-stage Rare Earth Processing Facility will be the first-of-its-kind in North America and will be producing REE products for sale in the international market in 2024, including individual rare earth oxides and didymium metals.
The production of rare earth metal is a very important, strategic step for the Facility, for Saskatchewan and in establishing a rare earth supply chain in Canada.
In June 2022, an additional $20 million in funding for the Facility was announced by the Government of Saskatchewan in order to expand its capabilities and move further down the Rare Earth Element (REE) value chain with the addition of a metals smelting unit that will produce these ingots.
SRC is proud to be a world leader in rare earth element processing and separation technologies and is now able to add metal processing to our list of accomplishments.
