Problem
The global supply chain for Rare Earth Elements (REEs) is heavily concentrated, creating geopolitical risks and hindering domestic industrial development. Current extraction and processing methods often have significant environmental impacts and are not economically viable for lower-grade ore bodies.
Solution
Supra is developing a proprietary hydrometallurgical process designed for the profitable recovery of Rare Earth Elements from complex ore bodies. Our technology focuses on selective leaching and purification steps to achieve high-purity REE concentrates with reduced environmental footprint. This approach aims to unlock domestic sources of critical minerals essential for advanced manufacturing and clean energy technologies. By optimizing reagent usage and minimizing waste streams, Supra's process offers a sustainable and economically competitive alternative to existing REE recovery methods.
Target Audience
Supra targets mining companies with REE-bearing assets and industrial partners seeking secure, domestic sources of critical Rare Earth Elements for their supply chains.
