Quebec REE recycling plant upscaled

Montreal-based Geomega Resources has scaled up the daily throughput rate of its proposed rare-earth element (REE) recycling plant and published a new capital expenditure (capex) estimate.

The original design of the demonstration plant presented was based on an initial throughput capacity of 1 t/d (2 000 ℓ batches), which would then require some additional investments to reach 1.5 t/d. The process had originally been designed on a 24-hour operation.
