They make the introductions...and help guide the CEO...source the rare earth catalyst...for the fuel cells..by the ton..

Subsequently, he purchased the assets formerly associated with the GM-ECD JV that produced the then novel nickel-metal hydride batteries for GM’s first all-electric car, the EV-1, creating a new company, Eutectix, LLC, based in Troy, MI and currently serving as Eutectix’ CEO and Chief Scientist.

Eutectix, LLC recently acquired the manufacturing facilities and assets of Great Western Technologies Inc., a subsidiary of Great Western Minerals Group, Ltd. Acquisition of the factory in Troy, Michigan provides Eutectix with facilities for high tech manufacture of advanced materials.

The Great Western Minerals Group Ltd. is a leader in the manufacture and supply of rare earth element-based metal alloys and holder of a low cost, high-grade critical rare earth element mineral property in the Western Cape province of South Africa (the “Steenkampskraal Project” or “SKK”). Its specialty alloys are used in the battery, magnet and aerospace industries. Produced at the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Less Common Metals Limited in Ellesmere Port, U.K., these alloys contain transition metals, including nickel, cobalt, iron and rare earth element

The Steenkampskraal Project comprises a state-of-the-art underground monazite mine and an integrated metallurgical and hydrometallurgical processing plant. The Project is based on a high-grade, narrow vein, monazite deposit, which was successfully exploited for thorium in an underground operation by Anglo American between 1952 and 1963. GWMG's proposed mining methodology includes a combination of long hole open stoping and conventional down dip mining to adequately exploit the variable vein attitude and thickness. The mine will be a conventional trackless operation with approximately 50% of the in-stope mining remaining as conventional hand held rig mining. The mine plan and ventilation design is unique in that it has been specifically based on a radiological model that minimizes radiation exposure to the workers.
The process flowsheet comprises crushing and milling, upgrading through dense medium separation ("DMS") and magnetic separation. This is followed by hydrometallurgical acid cracking and mixed REE carbonate precipitation. Lanthanum and cerium, considered low value REEs, are removed and stored on site. The high-value REEs are retained in a mixed REE carbonate concentrate, which will be toll-treated producing high-purity, separated REOs. A portion of the high-purity REO product from the independent separation plant will be used to produce REE metal alloys at Less Common Metals Limited ("LCM"), GWMG's subsidiary located in the United Kingdom, with the remainder of product sold on the international market.
