UNLOCK RARE EARTH ELEMENTS Efficiently

Rare earth elements are essential to global supply chains, powering everything from medical imaging to military systems. But while demand surges, a growing share of rare earth element resources remain undeveloped due to complex mineralogy, limited processing infrastructure, and the cost of cracking. Monazite and allanite are particularly difficult to process using conventional methods. Cracking requires high temperatures, aggressive acid use, and centralized hydromet plants – a combination that drives up costs and delays deployment. 

LithX™ overcomes those barriers. Our chemistry enables selective leaching of rare earth elements under mild conditions, without added acids for simplified downstream processing. Our technology gives miners a more flexible, economically viable pathway to recover rare earths closer to the mine site and without full-scale cracking infrastructure.
