“Geomega is continuing its development of core
technologies and their application to various projects. During this
year, the magnet recycling demonstration plant went through a major
engineering transition from batch to continuous process and is now
in the middle of the civil work execution before plant assembly can
begin. The bauxite residues project has seen countless hours of
piloting performed this year towards validating and demonstrating
the technology and its economics. And lastly, our technology has
been selected by Vale Base Metals as part of their Pyrrhotite
Resource Recovery Innovation Challenge, a competition aimed at
enhancing the recovery of valuable metals and minerals contained in
pyrrhotite tailings. Geomega is looking forward to start working on
demonstrating its technology for this exciting opportunity which
has important implications for base and precious metals mines all
over the world.” commented Kiril Mugerman, President & CEO of
Geomega.

About Geomega
(www.geomega.ca)Geomega
develops innovative technologies for extraction and separation of
rare earth elements and other critical metals essential for a
sustainable future. With a focus on renewable energies, vehicle
electrification, automation and reduction in energy usage, rare
earth magnets or neo-magnets (NdFeB) are at the center of all these
technologies. Geomega’s strategy revolves around gradually
de-risking its innovative technology and delivering cashflow and
return value to shareholders while working directly with the main
players in these industries to recycle the magnets that power all
those technologies.
As its technologies are demonstrated on larger
scales, Geomega is committed to work with major partners to help
extract value from mining feeds, tailings and other industrial
residues which contain rare earths and other critical metals.
Irrespective of the metal or the source, Geomega adopts a
consistent approach to reduce the environmental impact and to
contribute to lowering greenhouse gases emissions through recycling
the major reagents in the process.
Geomega’s process is based around its
proprietary, low-cost, environmentally friendly way to tap into a
C$1.5 billion global market to recycle magnet production waste and
end of life magnets profitably and safely.
Geomega also owns the Montviel rare earth
carbonatite deposit, the largest 43-101 bastnaesite resource
estimate in North America and holds over 16.8M shares, representing
approximately 13% of the issued and outstanding shares, of Kintavar
Exploration Inc. (KTR.V), a mineral exploration company that is
