It’s seem a bit like putting the cart before the horse since we have 5 years before we can extract our minerals. But recycling revenue can be had prior to a mine I suppose. Perhaps another requirement by EXIM or Other players, that there has to be some focus on recycling.
Let me get this right. They don’t have the funds to complete the current feasibility study, but they have the money to research the feasibility of recycling rare earth magnets?!?!? How about they focus on the current tasks at hand. They don’t even know if the production of rare earths is feasible NOW, let alone recycling them!!! Come on, get the #*cking feasibility study completed!
There is significant interest in recycling critical minerals and magnetic rare earths on the government level and that potentially opens doors to additional funding pots.
