Mine to Magnet Workshop: January 16, 2024, even Rare Element Resources - but not Ucore. Will Ucore be in attendance? Mine-to-Magnet Workshop speakers Mine-to-Magnet Workshop main page This day and a half workshop will gather stakeholders from across the supply chain and U.S. Government to discuss challenges and opportunities in this critical supply chain. A partnership between Government and companies within the DIB is required to accomplish changes in REE supply chains. The provenance requirements for REE magnets will be a significant challenge, and new technologies and new approaches to organizing the market will be required to accomplish this requirement. The Workshop will focus on the following topics and questions:
- What actions is the U.S. Government taking to incentivize new sources of supply throughout the supply chain?
- What tiers of the supply chain are highest risk for not being fully established prior to the sourcing restriction implementation deadline?
- What solutions would enable supply chain provenance to the mining level, and can these solutions be implemented by the June 23rd, 2025 provenance target date?
- What is the status of Government and Industry efforts to develop substitute magnets and new technologies?
- What additional support does the nascent U.S. and friendly nation rare earth element industry need to grow and thrive in the long-term?
