At a glance

What the record holds today. Every card names where it came from — a management representation is not an established fact, and the page never blurs the two.

What is in the ground
400 tons of separated rare earth oxides
Management-stated Tim Harrison Jun 2026
Money on hand
12 million pounds grant from UK government
Stated capital need: 85 million pound
Management-stated Tim Harrison Jun 2026
What happens next
by September of this year
Management-stated Tim Harrison Jun 2026
The main open question
Management's demonstration plant currently produces only 10 tons per annum of separated rare earth oxides—an order of magnitude below the planned 400-ton commercial facility—creating execution risk on scaling.

Management says the 85 million pound magnet recycling plant in Belfast will generate a 500+ million pound post-tax NPV with 40+ percent IRR and two-year payback, underpinned by validated supply contracts with Ford and Advanced Magnet Laboratories for US defense applications. The company has already secured 12 million pounds in UK government grant backing and claims technology readiness at level 8.

▼ Bear case

Management's demonstration plant currently produces only 10 tons per annum of separated rare earth oxides—an order of magnitude below the planned 400-ton commercial facility—creating execution risk on scaling.

Management's demonstration plant currently produces only 10 tons per annum of separated rare earth oxides—an order of magnitude below the planned 400-ton commercial facility—creating execution risk on scaling. The 85 million pound capital requirement remains to be fully raised, and no independent validation of the economics, market demand, or technical assumptions is on record.

How to read this page

What is here

Statements made by company representatives in the interviews listed above — each one carrying the words that made it, the date, and the recording. Nothing is added from any other source: if it was not said on a recording, it is not on this page. The one exception lives in the Claims & Checks record, which cites a metal price from our own feed so a stated cost can be set against it — and labels it as ours wherever it appears.

What is not verified

All of it. Resource figures, economics, timelines and promotional framing are management's own representations, checked against no filing and no technical report. Transcripts are automatic; we repair a clearly mis-heard word but never a number, a date, a unit or a speaker's hedge — “about 8.6 million ounces” keeps its “about”.

How to use it

Treat it as a map of what has been said, not as a source of fact. Where a figure matters to you, open the recording and read the company's filings. Nothing here is financial advice, a recommendation, or an offer to buy or sell any security — these are interested parties discussing their own company.
