Saskatchewan rare earths plant on its way
An intermediate mixed rare earth product will be produced from the monazite processing unit and then be upgraded into separated rare earth oxides in a solvent extraction unit as the market requires. SRU expects the monazite processing unit to be operational in early 2023 and the separation unit of the facility is slated to be ready by mid-2024.
The Way Forward
The concentration of rare earth element in any geological environment alone does not make it suitable for commercial mining. The ease of exploitation is commonly dictated by favourable geological setting, ore grade, tonnage, existing processing technology, costs and attendant environmental concerns including local people.
