He expects initial production of the demonstration plant to kick off by the end of the year.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018We are going to process 1.5 tonnes of magnet waste per day as our starting point.\u2019 The output will be recycled rare earth oxides, with the same characteristics as those coming from a mine. \u2018We\u2019re currently focussing on recycling the metals from industrial waste to further de-risk our technology and begin generating cash flow before we apply it to the mining industry,\u2019 Mugerman points out.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018We modified our rare earth pilot facility, located at the National Research Council in Boucherville, to produce hand sanitiser predominately for retirement homes and hospitals that are in urgent need of this product to help combat the spread of the pandemic.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>Source:<a href=\"https:\/\/recyclinginternational.com\/non-ferrous-metals\/pilot-facility-aims-to-disrupt-rare-earth-recycling\/30424\/\"> Recycling International<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Based in Montreal, Geomega Resources has developed a proprietary technology that recycles rare earth elements like neodymium, praseodymium, terbium and dysprosium.
