@roblun1 Thank you for the deep dive on this; the announcement was good but a bit light on the finer details.
Given the incorporation of US MIT technology, hopefully MAIL looks more attractive to the US DoE and DoWπ€
@roblun1 Very interesting. Every announcement makes it appear that ReElement can make oxides out of thin air. As mentioned, I have always been sceptical. Being experienced in project mgmt, things just don't stack up on my end. Do you have more thoughts from a technical perspective?
@PalmerLuckey@PalmerLuckey given the prevalence of Critical Minerals, would Anduril consider a made-in-country solution for this supply chain? Modular recycling and refining tech would be the way to go and eliminate China from the equation. Examples are companies like Ionic Rare Earths.
@WDChokepoint@roblun1@RE_Exchanges Yes, true. However, from Roblun's many posts, Ionic's MAIL technology is less recycling than it is separation and refining. I believe that we can accept a broad range of feedstock. This is why long-loop is more strategically and competitively advantageous.
@roblun1@IONIC_RE This is probably a simplistic take but...I am suprised IXR hasn't partnered up with MP Materials. I know they are keen on recycling, seems like we could speed things along.
Additionally, what US sites (as mentioned by Tim) looks most economically feasible IYO?
@roblun1 Great and fair industry analysis. Keep it up Rob, you're insights are best in class. I'm sure it gets tiresome bonking the same old trolls on HC. The patient will be rewarded here.
