RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:What I said about MPI think DoD has two phases approach, 1st to fund the companies that has some assets to take care of short-term as they know any new mines takes time to get approval. The 2nd phase is to fund the smaller more specific focus companies for mid to long-term, I believe its coming, I do believe ucore has a small chance for some fund. Why? Alaska is supporting it with the $145M, so a little $$ from DoD will help kick that off. Then the RapidSX, you can argue either ways rather the tech/process is good or bad, but you can argue that for all other new technologies being proposed...so I don't see them fund others and not Ucore. If you look at the space industry, the funding was spread to large and small companies...the reason is that they don't know which horse will come through...similar here, i believe a lot of companies will get some fundings.
US wanting to take back control of REE market or sustain it to a level where US can be independent requires just initial funding. They need to continue with policy to buy US REE, as well as future putting in more money to advance it....
