RE:RE:Next generation of permanent magnets w/o rare earth elementsHI Ausheds,
Just had an extensive conversation with Mark MacDonald of UCORE. He is familiar with the ROMEO research as well as the Japanese Materials Science Institute research. He notes that both have developed REE free or reduced REE prototypes that are probably 10 years away from full scale commercial development
By contrast, IBC's super ligands for REEs and other metals research have been commercial for over 20 years. He also believes that IBC's MRT set ups can meet and/or exceed your production cost estimates. I asked him if he could ask Jack Lifton to respond to your data.
He also believes that when Ucore MRT facilities bring the cost down and assure a safe and secure supply of REEs Ucore will have the customers.
You could phone Mark at the Ucore offices number and put in ext 1.
