RE:New Press Release - Defense Metals to Ship Wicheeda Mixed Rare Earth Carbonate Sample to UcoreWicheeda is a Light REE project, with only about 10% of REO being Nd or Pr. Is mostly Ce and La. Amounts of Dy and Tb are miniscule. Percentage of REOs being Ce or La much higher than Mountain Pass.
Perhaps a viable project, but definitely not for heavies. Let's see how well Ucore can get rid of Ce and La in this feed without slowing down the works.
