RE:RE:CaffeeHi AlMinem,
Not sure I follow you. Of course I know this separation problem was around for many years... Not sure I follow you. Of course I understand that UCU does want to find a solution for that. Not sure I understand your point.
Was GMA too proud to apply for DOD money? That is a funny way to put it. I do not know the answer, and was wondering it myself. To be honest, I did not read the criteria of DOD and I was disappointed that I did not hear from GMA. I let it go though, as I know that the business plan of GMA is far from being ambitious and start with a very small Demonstration plant. A lot of people criticize it as being way too small. I guess that GMA did not meet the DOD criteria...
As for you chewed pieces, I guess I will learn it soon as you say. But I am not aware of a public company in North America that intends to do what GMA intends to do, which is recycling REE feed instead of traditional mining. Maybe I am wrong, and will learn it soon.
No sure why you are so agressive about other REE companies. The ''potential'' success of GMA would not compromise the potential success of UCU and the reverse would be equally true. But if GMA is bound to fail, then you got a point.
Anyway, I will leave you to that and wish you good luck with UCU. I will follow UCU and will try to stay away (for real this time :)

Have you ever been wondering, why US army was begging for a solution to solve REE separation problem and willing to pay whoever can do it, and GMA did not even consider to apply the fund with its so much touted “IRS”? Too proud to apply? No!
REE separation challenge has been around more than a century, Many methods had been used by scientists in the lab, and only few had been proven to be economic to scale up. GMA is chewing a piece of already chewed gum. you will find it out soon.
