STANS ENERGY ANNOUNCES PRODUCTION OF DYSPROSIUM OXIDE FROM KASHKA PLANT
Stans Energy Corp. has successfully separated
dysprosium oxide from its stockpile of resins at the Kashka rare-earth
plant.
To date the company has separated dysprosium from the resins remaining
from past production runs, yielding 50 kilograms of dysprosium oxides ahead of
target as outlined in the company's press release dated June 12, 2012.
The technical teams at KRP have been able to separate:
- 15 kilograms of dysprosium oxide grading 99.95-per-cent purity;
-
15 kilograms of dysprosium oxide grading 99.9-per-cent purity;
-
20 kilograms of dysprosium oxide grading 99.5-per-cent purity.
"The successful first phase of our operational testing of the ion
exchange columns is extremely encouraging. Over the course of the next
several months our engineering teams will continue to upgrade the
purities of finished oxides that the KRP will be producing. Our ion
exchange equipment will be able to provide the high-purity oxides that
are crucial for specialized end-users, specifically 4N+ purities. Once
VNIIHT completes the design of the new cracking facility (plant No. 1),
Stans Energy will have the capability to employ cutting-edge rare earth
technologies starting with beneficiation through to high-purity oxide
production," states Robert Mackay, president and chief executive officer.
Plant design, refurbishment and operational testing are continuing, and
once the test run is completed by the fourth quarter of 2012 on the entire batch of 48
tonnes of resins, a full chemical analysis of produced oxides and pure
metals will be released.
We seek Safe Harbor.
