Michael Blankenship: What's the significance of being one of the only Hard rock, you know, direct, uh, leach rare Earth Project Minerals in the world? 

Ranjeet Sundher: This is extremely important, and we can't take credit for that. Mother Nature built this a million years ago, so having a direct leach project, you bypass several extremely expensive and dirty processing steps.

This is gonna result in a faster, cleaner path to what we're trying to do. Create mixed, rare earth products. Our early extraction results are quite. Encouraging and we see our project as probably one of the only direct lead to rare earth projects in the world.
