In December 2025, ARR provided approximately 5 tonnes of allanite ore from the Cowboy State Mine test pit for METALLIC research1. The METALLIC consortium combines the research resources of nine national labs to validate, improve, and help commercialize technologies developed by domestic entities, amplifying the impact of the DOE and other U.S. government investments. This innovative approach fosters an ecosystem of expertise and capabilities for accelerating and de-risking CMM technology development and commercialization2.","length":940,"tagName":"p"},{"type":"text","content":"As one of the key feedstocks for the program, ore from the Cowboy State Mine (“CSM”) at the Halleck Creek Rare Earths Project provides a rare earth bearing material for use in each of the four METALLIC test centers. In collaboration with ARR, METALLIC researchers will employ mineral processing methods developed by ARR and then test novel processing methods. With METALLIC employing ARR’s processes, ARR benefits from third-party affirmation of process flowsheets. Testing of novel processes could also benefit ARR by discovering more efficient and cost-effective methods for capturing and refining magnetic rare earth elements.","length":629,"tagName":"p"},{"type":"text","content":"Chief Executive Officer, Mark Wall, commented, “Supporting a Department of Energy program is an exciting step for the company as we focus in on advancing the...
