Ionic Rare Earths Ltd (ASX:IXR, OTC:IXRRF) managing director Tim Harrison tells Proactive’s Elisha Newell that rare earth oxide production is underway at the company’s Belfast recycling facility — a key milestone for IXR’s technology. The news comes just days after Ionic announced that phase five drilling is ahead of schedule at the flagship Makuutu Rare Earths Project in Uganda. Makuutu is one of the world’s largest and most advanced ionic adsorption clay (IAC) rare earth deposits, making it a priority development target as countries shore up the supply of critical minerals.
