” What’s more, upon the delivery of our resource calculation in the near term, Bokan will be the only primarily HREE-enriched deposit on U.S. soil with a fully documented NI 43-101 compliant resource. It’s a unique position which places Bokan as an alternative and complementary bookend to Rare Element Resources’ primarily LREE-oriented deposit in Wyoming and Molycorp’s primarily LREE-oriented deposit in California.”

These elements quickly oxidize when exposed to moist air. In fact REEs may only may be reclaimed through an acid bath process to liberate the oxygen and reconstitute the element to its most useful and pure form. The rivers and streams from where ever gold and silver were mined out, are probably loaded with this oxidized material. The USGS report I read indicated that since this element [up until recently,] considered REEs worthless. Hence, their lack of value left them undetected. The USGS has not even mapped them fully any where. There are also reports from OSU indicating that many of these elements were not even isolated or added to the periodic table of elements until the 1920s. If you don’t know it’s valuable why map sand? I am sure this will be rectified very soon.

The and industrial production needs part is a joke since it all went to China.

Since win did a US based business need the government to tell them to mine here for minerals that is worth hundreds of dollars an ounce (the going price for rare earths).

I will tell you win since it all went to China in a little row boat!

Can’t buy what’s not avialable.

Wonder if there’ll be a Moly/Ucore plan submitted for funding ?

The USGS is also very much aware of Ucore.
