Rare Earth Summit showcases Saskatchewan as global hub for critical minerals
A summit being held in Saskatoon will bring together public and private sector stakeholders to showcase how several rare earth element projects are attracting international attention.
The Rare Earth Summit will see industry leaders from the Canadian Chamber of Commerce’s Critical Minerals Council meeting in Saskatoon to discuss expanding the supply chains for rare earth minerals.
These minerals, the provincial government said in a release, are used in applications ranging from wind turbines and electric vehicles to defence, communications and medical technology.
At the summit, Vital Metals Ltd. will unveil the first phase of its Rare Earth Extraction Facility, operating alongside the Saskatchewan Research Council’s (SRC) $55-million rare earth processing facility — the first of its kind in North America.
