RE: Mapping the Road Not TakenAdding to what I posted. This also was pulled from that article:
Initially, Molycorp’s plans envisioned adding facilities and equipment for metal conversion and alloy production at the Mountain Pass facility but now it has “…… have entered into a letter of intent to acquire a third-party producer of rare earth metals and alloys in the United States”. This leaves us wondering if the GWG plans have been dusted off. The company then claims that if it completes the acquisition then it plans to transport cerium, lanthanum, neodymium/praseodymium (didymium) and samarium oxide products from our Mountain Pass facility to the acquired company’s off-site location that already possesses the technological capability to produce rare earth metals and alloys.
It also confesses to be currently evaluating joint venture opportunities to integrate downstream into NdFeB magnet manufacturing in the United States.
They are sure making it sound like Great Western is the target.
