Play from 2:22. This is a new Shadowplay/CCP video from 6 days ago. In it, the CCP concludes that MP won't be able to refine rare earths.
"A western Rare Earth company called MP materials has faced challenges in deploying its refining technology, due to technical complexities and pollution concerns...
Other companies, like Ucore Rare Metals, are developing alternative processing technologies with support from the US Department of Defense."

P.S. If a partnership should ever be announced between MP Materials and Ucore for processing-- call it a licencing agreement, if you want-- what do you think that will do to the stock price of Ucore?
Will it:
A) go to the moon
B) reach the stars
C) crash into the sun
