The Saskatchewan Research Council facility, which is receiving Vital's stockpiles, is "only equipped to process monazite concentrate".
However, the stockpile coming from Vital Metals is "primarily rich in bastnasite ... which requires a different process than monazite to be made into usable material."

Hmmm... Rapidsx can process bastnasite. Six months ago they completed a commissioning trial with a feed from a bastnasite source (https://ucore.com/ucore-completes-rapidsx-demo-plant-commissioning-begins-us-department-of-defense-demonstration-program/).

P.S. Happy Independence Day y'all! This July 4th is gonna be the best ever. Instead of burgers and hotdogs, this year we are grilling steaks! Instead of beer, it's gonna be champagne!

P.S.S. Half @ 100, then half @ 300. Don't forget it!
