In-Situ (REE) Leaching
most common form of REE extraction
• Low establishment cost
• Proven decades old
technology
• Using gravity as our
natural pumping system
• Readily leachable solution
laden with rare earths
• ISR accelerates natural
processes in the ground
In-Situ Leaching involves just three steps:
• Inject a lixiviant (magnesium sulfate)
• Dissolve or desorb the REE elements into solution using Mg ions
• Pump the pregnant solution back for processing
