Metal smelting is one of the key parts of the rare earth element (REE) supply chain that is currently being developed by SRC. The metal smelting process is not a new concept or practice, but its use for REEs, especially in North America, is fairly recent. Learn how SRC is using metal smelting in its Rare Earth Processing Facility.

The Nicholson Mine was the first uranium mine to be developed in Saskatchewan. In 1949, it was the only active uranium mine in Canada outside the Northwest Territories. By 1959, the Nicholson ore body had been essentially depleted, but the Nicholson Mine had played its role in helping Canada become one of the largest uranium producers in the world. Learn more about the challenges of developing and operating this mine.

Rare earth elements (REEs) are vital to modern life and the demand for these essential elements is nowhere close to levelling out. As the need for REEs continues to increase, SRC has stepped up to build a fully integrated Rare Earth Processing Facility, complete with hydrometallurgy, separation and metal smelting stages, right here in Saskatchewan.
