Their process extracts 99% of the “to date, unrecoverable rare earths”
The global adoption of the Orbite Process replacing the 120 year old Bayer process will revolutionize the industry & bring the price of rare earths & metals downwards, making REE projects like the one on this Japanese island and many many more around the world uneconomic , and if & when these projects do move ahead, they will do so using the Orbite process.
They are on schedule to be the first producer of REE’s in North America this September, and the best part is they are a publicly traded company on the Toronto stock exchange…wink…wink!!!!

This will be good for the rest of us if this deposit is as large as it is claimed to be. I’d rather be dependent on Japan for these rare earth deposits than the Chinese. At least the Japanese are our greatest and best allies in the Pacific and probably one of the top three allies the U.S. has in the world.

Also, are there any plans to sustainably mine this resource?
