  • Strategic investment of $1.8M into REEgenerate Pty Ltd, an Australian private company that owns 100% of the Coconut Club REE exploration project in Quebec, Canada and has an option to acquire 100% of REEcycle Inc, a US based Rare Earth Element (REE) separation and technology Company
  • REEcycle has developed a process that has the potential to reclaim nearly all rare earth elements in discarded NdFeB magnets with a recovery efficiency demonstrated in pilot testing in excess of 99%
  • The patented process developed at the University of Houston uses a proprietary solvent to safely and efficiently extract REEs from scrap with low temperatures, low pressures, and minimal energy needs and waste
  • In pilot testing, REEcycle's technology has demonstrated an ability to safely extract 15 of the 17 rare earth elements found in discarded permanent magnets in electronic waste from its pilot plant in Houston, Texas
  • NdFeB magnets will be sourced predominantly from end-of-life wind turbines, electric vehicles, electric bikes and electronic waste
  • REEcycle aims to provide an alternative option to traditional mined sources of rare earth metals as well as reduce supply chain uncertainty and geopolitical risk for companies reliant on these materials

Appia’s Uranium, Rare Earths Assets Make for Compelling Investment Option, President Says

Appia Rare Earths and Uranium (CSE:API,OTCQX:APAAF) President Stephen Burega said his company is a compelling investment opportunity given the progress made with its PCH rare earths project in Brazil and uranium assets in Saskatchewan.

Appia recently announced a maiden resource estimate for PCH, reporting indicated resources of 6.6 million metric tons (MT) grading 2,513 parts per million total rare earth oxides, and inferred resources of 46.2 million MT at 2,888 parts per million.

“The next step (for the PCH project) would be to further the overall size of the existing zones that we've identified, the Buriti zone and the Target IV. There's expansion potential all around the area. Then we'll be targeting additional areas outside of that core and drill-testing new targets across the entirety of the property. So it's going to be a busy 2024 and 2025,” Burega said.
