- Operating: Founded 2006
Founded in 2006, Ucore Rare Metals is focused on rare-earth and critical-metal resources, extraction, beneficiation, and separation technologies. The company acquired Innovation Metals Corp. in 2020 and is commercializing its proprietary RapidSX™ critical metals separation technology. Ucore evolved from mineral exploration into a processing technology company.
Ucore’s mission is to disrupt China’s dominance in the rare earth elements supply chain by establishing a secure, independent, and domestic REE supply chain in North America. China controls over 80% of the world’s REE supply, which poses risks to green technology jobs and national security. The company plans to develop multiple Heavy and Light REE processing facilities, known as Strategic Metals Complexes (SMCs), strategically located across North America.
The company’s Kingston, Ontario demo plant has operated thousands of hours processing well over 4 tonnes of mixed rare earth elements using RapidSX technology. Ucore’s complete flow sheets for the Louisiana commercial plant are scalable and modular in nature. The company is led by a veteran team with decades of experience in OEM, global supply chains, manufacturing, engineering and critical metals operations.
Ucore continues to advance its original Bokan Heavy Rare Earth Element Project in Southeast Alaska on Prince of Wales Island at measured paces, without distracting from its immediate focus of rare earth processing. The company is in the final stages of commercializing RapidSX™ at its dedicated Strategic Metals Complex facility in Louisiana, featuring the 52-Stage RapidSX™ Commercial Demonstration Plant.
