Figure 1 — HXG & IMC AIM REE joint venture for RapidSX™
IMC and Hexagon’s wholly owned US-based subsidiary, Energy Materials of America, LLC plan to form a joint venture — American Innovation Metals Inc. (AIM) — to commercialize the RapidSX™ downstream REE separation technology. IMC successfully developed and piloted the RapidSX™ approach — a proven, enhanced SX technology offering major REE separation efficiencies, with significantly reduced CAPEX & OPEX. The RapidSX™ technology was piloted with US$1.8M funding from the United States Department of Defense, via the US Army Research Laboratory (ARL).
Figure 2 — REE & REO Supply Chain
REE separation is the supply-chain constraint. Commercializing the RapidSX™ technology will address non-Chinese REE separation deficiency. REE downstream clients are now demanding non-Chinese metals and alloys for their downstream REE products.
