Questions, I would love for Ucore to answer. Good Evening/Morning.
It is around midnight and I am getting ready for bed. Love the news item that Ausheds found and so nice of him to post it for us. While we wait for good news, I have questions that I would love Ucore to answers.
Can RSX be used on coal, the clay above the coal seam, flyash, acid drain water? Because if Ucore could get 50 to 75% of the REE out of a ton of coal. That would be 35K to 50K dollars per ton. I think that would count as US/Allies feed stock. Don't you?
Can RSX be used on oil sands?
How much of the REE elements does RSX leave in the mix? 5%? 10%? 15%?
Are they going to build a new building with all the trouble of getting permits or are they going to rehab an old bulding for the SMC?
Where is the breaking point costwise for AIDEA to fund the SMC?
How much pressure will come from the state of Alkaska to build the SMC?
Note: Ausheds is right in pointing out that the US has lost the middle of the REE magnet supply chain, the magnet makers. But we will never get that back if you do not have a supply of REE that are not under the control of China. So the first step is to get a supply of REEs and then put money in new improved magnet making like 3D printing the alloys for making magnets.
Time to move the cat out of the bed and crash.
Good Night/Morning all.
