American Rare Earths Announces SynBREE Consortium Produces Heavy & Light Rare Earths Oxide Concentrates using Halleck Creek Ore

Highlights Mixed heavy and light rare earth oxide concentrates produced from Halleck Creek’s allanite-based ore as part of the US Department of Defense’s (“DoD”) on-going Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (“DARPA”) Environmental Microbes as a BioEngineering Resource (“EMBER”) project. Results include: 97.1% pure Heavy Rare Earth Oxide (“HREO”)96.4% pure Light Rare Earth Oxide (“LREO”) First production of Light Rare Earth Oxides (“LREO”) and Heavy Rare Earth Oxides (“HREO”) using Halleck
