Everyone and their uncle is a speaker at Mine to Magnet Workshop: January 16, 2024, even Rare Element Resources - but not Ucore. Will Ucore be in attendance?

This day and a half workshop will gather stakeholders from across the supply chain and U.S. Government to discuss challenges and opportunities in this critical supply chain.  A partnership between Government and companies within the DIB is required to accomplish changes in REE supply chains.  The provenance requirements for REE magnets will be a significant challenge, and new technologies and new approaches to organizing the market will be required to accomplish this requirement.  The Workshop will focus on the following topics and questions:

• What actions is the U.S. Government taking to incentivize new sources of supply throughout the supply chain?
• What tiers of the supply chain are highest risk for not being fully established prior to the sourcing restriction implementation deadline?
• What solutions would enable supply chain provenance to the mining level, and can these solutions be implemented by the June 23^rd, 2025 provenance target date?
• What is the status of Government and Industry efforts to develop substitute magnets and new technologies?
• What additional support does the nascent U.S. and friendly nation rare earth element industry need to grow and thrive in the long-term?

That workshop addresses the entirte mine to magnet supply chain, with a focus on the Defense Industrial Base, i.e., supporting DOD. Ryan claims Ucore is in the most important part of that, the midstream. Ucore should be maing deals up and down the supply chain, getting feedstock and supplying metal/alloy/magnet makers.
