The race for Rare Earth Elements is speeding up in Laramie!
The race for Rare Earth Elements is speeding up in Laramie, Wyoming!! Western Research Institute is proud to inform that American Rare Earths Limited has started a new project with us.
As announced in Cowboy State Daily a few weeks ago (https://cowboystatedaily.com/2024/12/21/wyoming-project-gets-boost-in-race-to-be-first-for-u-s-rare-earths-production/), WRI will host a pilot plant to help move ARE’s starting line forward in what has become an extremely high-stakes race not just for Wyoming, but the nation and the World. The plant will show the potential of the Halleck Creek mine, which will be operated by Wyoming Rare (USA), the local subsidiary of ARE.
This opens a brand-new chapter in WRI's history. Created a century ago to study the local crude oil, WRI has become a world-class organization for oil and asphalt research. Our goal is to just repeat this and become a reference center on Rare Earth Elements.
Thank you Joe Evers and the team at American Rare Earths Limited for trusting us! Good luck to Justin Martin, our Vice-President in charge of the Sustainable Emerging Technologies group (SET), who will be managing this project with the SET team. The latest news on this project has been described in a recent article by the Laramie Boomerang (https://www.wyomingnews.com/laramieboomerang/news/american-rare-earths-launches-development-of-cowboy-state-mine-in-wyoming/article_680318c8-66fa-4a91-bbcb-dad3fc743fda.html).
