RE:Wink.... Ucore ... wink wink One opportunity that arises out of all of this is for new or newly applied separation technologies for the rare earths. A wise (rare) non-Chinese manufacturer with a long term outlook can today invest in right sized separation technology along with non-Chinese raw material supply. The Chinese rare earth industry is awash in excess capacity at every step of the rare earths’ supply chain. There is no incentive among such Chinese companies to invest in separation technology. But if non Chinese ore could be processed into separated individual and blended oxides and metals competitively with China but outside of China then an entrepreneur could sell such products even into China! Such a venture is now underway in the USA. This is free market capitalism at its best.
Unlike rare earths where innovation in Chinese processing is stifled by overcapacity, lithium processing, time and energy consuming, is begging for innovation everywhere. And once again the technology exists and has been developed in the USA to recover lithium from both brines and extracted spodumene cheaper than any processes used today.

That first line in thar first paragraph screams Ucore to us Ucore investors who watch this stock regularly. Everyone afiliated with Ucore is very confident in MRT becoming the disruptive technology for Rare Earths. Also he is very confident MRT is the cheapest way with Lithium Ligand that IBC has provided Ucore for its superlig.
Nuthouse must be right. There may not be action today, but a disruptive mining technology thats brings a higher purity, less costly, and environmental friendly seperation technology cannot be ignored after a certain point. This breakthrough will see the stockprice jump straight up, no mountain, once it gets exposed worldwide of what it actually offers to the world. IBC won awards with the Japanese Uranium crisis helping the environment there, and now they are going to help the environment in a cheaper than SX fashion in REE related purification process'.
