What is RapidSX™ technology and how does it compare to conventional methods?

RapidSX™ is Ucore’s proprietary separation technology that can separate heavy rare earth element (HREE) oxides about three times faster than conventional solvent extraction and uses only one-third the physical footprint, making it more efficient and space-effective.

Why is Ucore’s role in rare earth supply important for North America?

Ucore is positioned to disrupt China’s control of the North American rare earth supply chain and provide a homegrown source of reliable heavy rare earth elements that are tariff-insulated by onshore U.S. production, supporting trade policy, clean tech demand, and defense security.

Where is Ucore’s primary processing facility located and when will it begin production?

Ucore’s Louisiana Strategic Metals Complex (SMC) in Alexandria is slated to begin commercial feedstock production in 2026, supplying magnet-grade rare earth oxides including neodymium, praseodymium, terbium and dysprosium.

What specific rare earth elements will Ucore’s facility produce?

The Louisiana facility will produce magnet-grade neodymium, praseodymium, terbium and dysprosium, which are critical for permanent magnet materials used in various manufacturing applications.

How is Ucore addressing the current market demand for rare earth elements?

Recent trade agreements with the European Union and Japan are unlocking massive investment that is drawing OEMs to scale operations stateside, creating an urgent need for domestic rare earth sources that Ucore’s technology and facilities can provide.

What other projects does Ucore have beyond the Louisiana facility?

Beyond the Louisiana SMC, Ucore plans subsequent strategic metals complexes in Canada and Alaska, plus the longer-term development of its 100% controlled Bokan-Dotson Ridge Rare Heavy REE Project on Prince of Wales Island in Southeast Alaska.
