Earlier this month, Ucore's plans to begin supplying rare earths to the North American supply chain took a major step forward when the rare metals mining and technology company signed a memorandum of agreement with the Southeast (SE) Alaska Conference to evaluate and potentially develop a natural resource development complex to host the Alaska SMC.

In the critical North American rare earths supply chain, Alaska SMC will be equipped with RapidSX, a patented technology developed by Ucore's subsidiary Innovation Metals Corp. to extract pure rare earth oxides from midstream products such as the mixed rare earth carbonates that will be produced at Vital's Saskatoon facility.

In the context of building a critical North American rare earth supply chain, and following a deal to ship more carbonate rare earths to Norway's REEtec, Vital entered into a separate agreement to supply Ucore with some of this midstream rare earth product produced in Saskatchewan.

On October 18th, the 2021 China (Shanghai) Tungsten Raw Material Industry Development High-end Forum was held as scheduled. And the Third Council of the Fourth Session of Cemented Carbide Branch of China Tungsten Industry Association(CTIA) and Cemented Carbide Industry Development Report Meeting was successfully held in Shanghai On the morning of the 19th. The meeting was hosted by Cemented Carbide Branch of CTIA, Zhuzhou Cemented Carbide Group, and the State Laboratory of Tungsten Cemented Carbide.

In addition to the NWT mine, the next link in the North American rare earths supply chain established in partnership with Ucore is Vital's carbonate rare earth production plant, currently under construction near the Saskatchewan Research Council's rare earth facility in Saskatoon, Canada.

Nechalacho is the first rare earth mining project in Canada to begin production in June 2021. The project is located in Canada's Northwest Territories (NWT) and is a key component of the North American rare earths supply chain. It includes the development of the near-surface Tardiff and North T deposits, which are being developed in two phases during the initial stage.

The recent agreement between Vital Metals Ltd. and Ucore Metals Ltd. marks a milestone in the establishment of a complete North American rare earths supply chain linking the Northwest Territories, Saskatchewan and Alaska.
