Molycorp Chosen to Supply Rare Earths for Use in High-Efficiency Siemens Wind Turbine Generators

GREENWOOD VILLAGE, Colo., April 15, 2015 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Siemens AG ("Siemens") has selected Molycorp, Inc. (NYSE:MCP) ("Molycorp") to supply rare earth materials over the next 10 years from its Mountain Pass, California facility for incorporation into Siemens' high-efficiency, direct drive wind turbine generators. Molycorp will supply rare earth materials to Shin-Etsu Chemical Co., Ltd. ("Shin-Etsu"), which will produce the rare earth magnets Siemens intends to utilize in its wind turbines.

Siemens officials noted that key factors in choosing Molycorp were Molycorp's ability to provide greater global diversification and reliability to its supply chain, as well as the environmental and process innovations Molycorp has built into its Mountain Pass rare earth facility. Among those innovations are the facility's ability to recycle water, regenerate the chemical reagents needed in rare earth production, generate power from a high-efficiency natural gas cogeneration power plant, and dispose of mine tailings through an innovative paste tailings system.

Siemens officials said that the magnets to be used in its direct drive wind turbines will contain reduced levels of heavy rare earth elements (HREEs), such as dysprosium. In collaboration with Siemens Wind Power, Molycorp and Shin-Etsu will improve the magnet material to reach zero HREEs, Siemens said. At the same time, Siemens added, supply chain reliability will be increased and costs will be reduced.

"The contract with Shin-Etsu and Molycorp is an important step for us in sourcing magnet materials for our direct drive wind turbines," said Morten Rasmussen, Head of Technology at Siemens Wind Power and Renewables Division. "We strive for diversification in the sourcing of these components to improve independency from specific markets."

"We are very pleased to have been selected to supply Siemens and Shin-Etsu with rare earth magnetic materials for this important clean energy supply chain project," said Geoff Bedford, Molycorp's President and Chief Executive Officer. "This agreement underscores Molycorp's commitment to partner with our customers to support their product development efforts and serve as an integrated, long-term provider of reliable rare earth supply."

Rare Earth Elements: Simple Commodity Or Strategic Vulnerability?

"Rare earths are a group of 17 elements with unique chemical, magnetic and luminescent properties crucial for the functioning of much of today’s high technology equipment, including MRIs, lap-top computers, hybrid vehicles and LEDs. They also have important applications in the defence industry. China is the dominant supplier of rare earth elements (REEs), meeting at least 85% of global demand. In 2010, REEs were splashed across the front pages of newspapers when it significantly reduced rare earth export quotas and temporarily suspended their shipment to Japan. Consumers quickly recognised that diversity of reliable supply is just as important as price and quality, and there is a concerted effort to replace, reduce and recycle REEs. So are REEs best understood as simple commodities, or as strategic resources that can be used as tools of statecraft? And can Australia play a part in the development of alternative reliable sources of rare earths? To help understand the strategic importance of REEs the National Security College and Crawford School of Public Policy welcome two global experts in the field."

REE: Apple Investing $850 Million In California Solar Farm.

  Here comes another catalyst for Solar, which will bring more demand for REE and Silver. With its pile of cash and power of the brand Apple can easily distract transportation and energy industries. Will we ever see the Apple Electric iCar - Steve Jobs has dreamt about? We have a lot of rumours going on about it this week. It is very reassuring that Tim Cook has proclaimed: "We know at Apple that climate change is real!" 

"Apple Chief Executive Tim Cook said on Tuesday the technology company is investing $850 million to build a solar farm in California with solar panel maker First Solar. Cook said at a Goldman Sachs technology conference in San Francisco that the project in Monterey County, California will provide enough energy for 60,000 homes as well as Apple's head office in nearby Cupertino. Cook said, "We know in Apple that climate change is real. The time for talk is passed. The time for action is now." First Solar, based in Tempe, Arizona, manufactures solar panels and also builds solar power plants, many of which it sells to power producers."

TNR Gold Acquires Critical Element REE Project in Labrador

Vancouver, B.C. / TNW-ACCESSWIRE / August 11, 2014 / TNR Gold Corp. (the "Company" or "TNR) (TSX VENTURE:TNR.V ) has acquired through staking mineral exploration rights totalling 2,050 hectares within the Flowers River Igneous Suite located in Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada. The project area is approximately 25 kilometres from tidewater and 50 kilometres west of the community of Hopedale, Labrador.

TNR Gold, through its "lead generator business model", identified the Nuiklavik project as highly prospective for rare earth elements ("REEs"). TNR successfully applied the project generator strategy most recently in 2010/2011 when the Company identified the Mariana lithium brine and Blackstairs lithium pegmatite projects, that became key to International Lithium Corp. (TSX VENTURE:ILC.V), a Lithium metals focused company spun out of TNR and currently partnered with a prominent lithium products producer, Ganfeng Lithium International Ltd., Co., based in China.

The Nuiklavik project area was briefly examined in the 1950s by Brinex, but saw no further exploration until Altius Resources Inc. ("Altius") targeting volcanic hosted uranium-type mineralization from 2006 to 2008. Altius sampled several rare earth occurrences, complementing earlier mapping and sampling work by the Geological Survey of Newfoundland and Labrador ("GSNL") in the 1980s and 1990s. All samples reported to date are grab samples and have returned assays of up to 1.4% zirconium oxide, 1.27% yttrium oxide, 1.15% niobium oxide and 1.1% total rare earth oxides with heavy REEs accounting for up to 67% of the total rare earths (Rare Elements Resources press release dated January 7, 2010). Grab samples are by nature selective and therefore may not be representative of mineralization on the property. Altius sold the project to Rare Element Resources Ltd. ("RER") in 2010. In 2012 RER made a decision to no longer maintain the mineral claims in favour of focusing on the exploration and development of their Bear Lodge REE Project.

"The Nuiklavik project is the next step in TNR's strategy to identify and generate projects of high value ahead of the curve. Several countries around the world have conducted research and identified potential future supply constraints of certain metals, naming them "critical metals". These are elements that are deemed essential to manufacturing industries in these countries. TNR is focussed on generating projects hosting critical elements needed for certain high tech and renewable energy industries. These elements are usually produced as by-products from other mining and industrial activities. A number of the rare earth elements which includes both heavy and light rare earths, are on the "critical" list. The supply chain from China is expected to decrease over the next few years and many REE sources outside China are dominated by the non-critical REEs. TNR has also recognized that many of the advanced stage REE exploration projects face significant cost challenges specifically related to infrastructure (as projects tend to be quite remote) and metallurgy (extracting individual rare earth oxides). TNR's team believes the geology and geochemistry of the Nuiklavik volcanics indicate the potential to host mineralization that is enriched in critical elements. The Property location, only 25 kilometres from tidewater, potentially gives it an infrastructure advantage. As done with International Lithium Corp., TNR is seeking a strategic partner with the technical expertise and end-use demand to facilitate the advancement and if warranted, the development of the project." Mr. Kirill Klip, Non-Executive Chairman of TNR.
