RE:RE:Ucore Increases Bokan Mineral Resource with Critical Co-ProdWhat a joke, you guys ain't got a clue, seriously.
Alkane has not only been promoting numbers 10x better for years but spent the past decade developing their process route, full feasibility study, full permitting, and yes they've even got their own RJ!
They've got a massive open pit resource with PROVEN ore reserve for an initial 20 yr mine life
Total Mineral Resources 75.18Mt @ 1.89% ZrO2, 0.04% HfO2, 0.44% Nb2O5, 0.03% Ta2O5, 0.88% TREO*
That's 75MT vs Bokan 4.8MT
Zr 18,900ppm vs 1,880ppm
Hf 400ppm vs 37ppm
Nb 4400ppm vs 460ppm
Ta 300ppm
Plus 0.88% TREO vs 0.602%
Ucore's 37T of Hf is a sick joke, ALK were talking 100tpa PRODUCTION but they'd collapse the mkt and backed it off to 50tpa initial stages.
ALK has a far better RE resource, good values Tb & Dy, 15x total resource & 10x co-product grades, developed & COSTED process route, 20yr mine life, customer engagement, and it STILL can't get funding!
IF the US/Oz rhetoric has any substance ALK is actually my top pick along with LYC to get support as their business plan is highly developed and the respective outputs would be quiet complimentary.
