Energy Fuels (NYSE American: UUUU) (TSX: EFR) and Neo Performance Materials (TSX: NEO) recently announced that the first container of mixed rare earth (“RE”) carbonate was shipped from UUUU’s White Mesa Mill in Utah to NEO’s rare earth separation facility in Estonia. This shipment marked an important milestone toward restoring the critical U.S. and European rare earth supply chains. Chemours (NYSE: CC), based in Georgia, mines natural monazite that contains both the rare earth elements and naturally occurring uranium. “The rare earth elements are then processed into RE carbonate by UUUU’s White Mesa Mill before being shipped off to Estonia and separated into rare earth oxides and other value-added rare earth compounds,” a recent article reads. “This commercial-scale process has established Energy Fuels as the only company in North America that currently produces a monazite-derived, enhanced rare earth material, and the shipment of the product represents the beginning of a new, environmentally responsible rare earth supply chain.”
