QUITE SIMPLE. THE MONEY CAN BE MADE IF ONE RESEARCHS THE TRIAL AND TRIBULATIONS OF A HOZER, WHOM THE US GOVT TRIED TO DESTROY. ALL HE DID WAS WANT TO MAKE THE WORLD A BETTER PLACE AND NOW HE IS SUCCESSFUL AT REMOVING THE DU FROM THE GULF. ANOTHER COMPANY WHICH IS UNKNOWN HAS A 1000X EFFECT IN BOTH PRODUCT DESIGN AND MANUFACTURING EFFICIENCY. AND AS JL STATED IT HAS BEEN SHOWN TIME AND TIME AGAIN THAT ON WALL STREET PEOPLE VERY OFTEN FAIL TO SEE THE THING THAT IS RIGHT IN FRONT OF THEM.

SIMPLE JACK. REE THE REE. IT IS IN THE WATER AND THE SITTIN THAT THE MONEY IS MADE. IT HAS BEEN SHOWN TIMEAND TIME AGAIN THAT ON WALL STREET PEOPLE VERY OFTEN FAIL TO SEE THE THING THAT IS RIGHT IN FRONT OF THEM. I HAVE THE CHINESE TRANSLATORS AND MY INSECT SPEAKS BOTH DIALECTS, HAD A PHD IN PHYSICS, IS A CERTIFIED FINANCIAL ANAL IST(AND HE IS INDEED ANAL) AND A CERTIFIABLE ORCL DBA. BUT HE IS AN INSECT AND MY WIFE SHOULD HAVE SWATTED HIM. THE POWER IS NOT IN THE FUTURE BUT THE PAST BUT ONE MUST LOOK. THE FLYING TURTLES ARE THE KEY.

While we’re on the subject of separation, Chinese or otherwise, if I may ask you Jack, what do you think about solid phase extraction and the potential for it to bring the industry back to North America? It seems like a pretty big deal to me.

Jack,

I’m not so far from Guangzhou where the conference will be held. It’s only about 40 minutes away. My internet connection was cut off accidentally on August 18th and 19th so I was unable to read your column. It’s accidentally back on-line now. For me it is a simple choice whether or not I attend the rare earth conference. The choice centers on informatiON and discloSURE. If I have a reasonable expectation to receive both then I attend the conference. On the other hand, if I have a reasonable expectation to receive full informatiON and discloSURE of any listed REE stock that has potential then I invest the money in the stock.

Thnx Jack, interesting comments re concentrate which I’m not sure I’ve seen all in the one article before. Certainly an issue which most investors in juniors have totally ignored until fairly recently although many are now looking at the Alkane deal for inspiration while probably ignoring the required volumes and Alkane’s initial process.
Your point re the processors controlling the deal is a logical one and begs the question what is the value of concentrate as a percentage of separated REO? Ok, I understand there are huge numbers of variables as you touch on above but is there a range that may apply generally? I’ve seen numbers from 25% to 70% but wondered if you could offer a little more guidance?

Jack,

We hear a lot about company and national efforts to find substitutes for the critical rare earths in various applications. To your knowledge, is their much research going on to find innotvative and more cost effective separation and processing technologies? Is this the type of basic materials science research that needs to be subsidized by governments?

I always appreciate your insights. Lou

Solli,
In Europe, Rhodia is the best. The La Rochelle plant started recyling business this year; they should be able to separate your stuff
