SGS Achieves Key Milestone in Rare-Earth Element Impurity Neutralization Tests

SGS has successfully completed neutralization testing for rare-earth element impurity removal in Lakefield, Ontario, advancing the hydrometallurgy process crucial for future resource extraction.

• The testing conducted by SGS at their Lakefield, Ontario laboratory focused on the neutralization (chemistry) of impurities like iron and aluminium from rare-earth element leachate solutions.
• Results from the neutralization tests will be integral to the hydrometallurgy section of the upcoming Pre-Feasibility Study, enhancing the efficiency of rare-earth element processing.
• The impurity removal process aims to eliminate deleterious elements such as silica gel, magnesium oxide, and titanium, ensuring a higher purity of rare-earth elements ready for market.
