... "Yves Noël, Orbite’s Chief Marketing Officer, commented, “We are receiving much more interest for immediate delivery of scandium and gallium than we had anticipated from the market. As a result, we intend to capitalize on these opportunities to quickly establish ourselves as a key supplier of high purity and high value products.”

Stan Meyer, co-founder of M&K, added, “The ability to separate and produce these two rare metal oxides at a high-purity level represents a smart, strategic move for Orbite. We are proud to assist in the integration of the rare earth separation plant design, first conceived for the SGA facility, into the HPA plant design. Combining Orbite’s technology with our own expertise, we continue to build on our solid partnership, which is the best bet to ensure the project’s success.”

Construction of the HPA plant is still ahead of schedule, with commissioning expected to begin in the next few weeks and completion by the end of 2012. The civil engineering and infrastructure work is now more than 98% complete, while the electrical work is also ahead of the original construction timetable." ...
