NetworkNewsBreaks – Energy Fuels Inc. (NYSE American: UUUU) (TSX: EFR), Penn State Receive $1.75M to Complete Rare Earth Feasibility Study
Energy Fuels (NYSE American: UUUU) (TSX: EFR), along with a team from Penn State University has received additional funds to complete an ongoing feasibility study focused on the production of rare earth element (“REE”) products from natural, coal-based resources. The funds were awarded by the U.S. Department of Energy (“DOE”) Office of Fossil Energy and National Energy Technology Laboratory, which provided an initial $150,000 for the study last year. The study also looks at the production of REE products from other materials such as REE-containing ores like the natural monazite ore produced at UUUU’s White Mesa Mill, located in Utah. The feasibility study is designed to support a cost estimate for the production of individually separated rare earth oxides and rare earth metals and alloys from coal-based resources or other resources, including monazite, within the U.S., with a focus on REEs for the production of commodity and defense-related products. “We are pleased to continue our collaboration with the U.S. Department of Energy, as we work together to restore critical U.S. rare earth supply chains available for domestic manufacturing,” said Energy Fuels president and CEO Mark S. Chalmers in the press release. “As we continue to ramp-up production of an intermediate rare earth product at the White Mesa Mill in Utah, we are moving forward with designing and developing the infrastructure needed to responsibly produce separated rare earth oxides and other products needed by the electric vehicle, renewable energy, defense and other domestic industries. Furthermore, we believe we can design our infrastructure to process feeds produced in the DOE program as well as the monazite we are currently processing, for the recovery of uranium and REE products. We believe these kinds of collaborative public-private partnerships will be a key to restoring U.S. global leadership in the clean energy sector and re-establishing critical defense-related supply chains.”
