Unlocking Sustainable Value

Rare-Earth-144.jpg
Market Demand:

  • $240 billion+ potential:  Our resources provide minerals for agriculture, vitamins,  fuel, clean energy, and high-tech advancements, aligning perfectly with investor demand for sustainable opportunities.
     

Phased Approach:

  • Mitigated risk and maximized gains:  Generate immediate revenue by selling the resource-rich Ionic clays to rare earth refineries while designing and building the water treatment facility, laying the groundwork for long-term REE extraction and manufacturing, and ensuring financial sustainability.
     

Environmental Stewardship:

  • Circular economy leader:  We minimize ecological impact through responsible resource extraction and water treatment, positioning us as sustainability champions.
     

Cross-Border Impact:

  • Green jobs and regional growth:  Create sustainable jobs, stimulate development in both the US and Mexico, and foster cross-border collaboration for shared prosperity.
     

Key Differentiator:

  • Established processes, clay removed through dredging, innovative potential:  Leverage proven water treatment methods while exploring cutting-edge LCE recovery for maximum efficiency and adaptability.

Recoverable through water treatment:
 

  • Magnesium (Mg):  This workhorse mineral readily forms magnesium hydroxide, a popular ingredient in fire retardants and construction materials.
     

  • Sodium (Na):  Desalination plants turn salty water into freshwater, simultaneously harvesting valuable sodium for applications ranging from food additives to batteries.
     

  • Calcium (Ca):  Calcium, often recovered as calcium carbonate, is found in everything from fertilizers and construction materials to paper and pharmaceuticals.
     

  • Potassium (K):  Another fertilizer favorite, potassium extraction from wastewater closes the loop on this essential nutrient, reducing reliance on mined resources supporting farmers in Mexico and the US.
     

  • Boron (B):  This trace element, vital for plant growth, can be retrieved through reverse osmosis and ion exchange, enriching agricultural and industrial applications.
     

Lithium Carbonate Equivalent (LCE):  The rising star of mineral recovery, lithium, used in countless electronic devices, is increasingly extracted from wastewater, driven by its surging demand for battery production. However, its recovery often requires specialized technologies like adsorption or electrochemical methods, making it more complex than established processes.
