“It has been a year full of exciting progress for Geomega. A new facility to centralize all our operations, major progress on detailed engineering that will take us to construction, bauxite residue valorization technology advanced to pilot plant commissioning and various bench scale work was done on other exciting applications of our technology that we hope to move forward in coming years. The rare earth magnet industry is growing, more magnet plants are being planned and more magnet scrap is becoming available every year as end of life collection increases. Major companies look at solutions to help them reduce their environmental impact and Geomega is there with our innovative technologies to create shareholder value. As we move diligently forward with our projects in this cleantech journey, I would like to thank our shareholders for their continuous support.” commented Kiril Mugerman, President and CEO of Geomega.

About Geomega (www.geomega.ca)
Geomega develops innovative technologies for extraction and separation of rare earth elements and other critical metals essential for a sustainable future. With a focus on renewable energies, vehicle electrification, automation and reduction in energy usage, rare earth magnets or neo-magnets (NdFeB) are at the center of all these technologies. Geomega’s strategy revolves around gradually de-risking its innovative technology and delivering cashflow and return value to shareholders while working directly with the main players in these industries to recycle the magnets that power all those technologies.

As its technologies are demonstrated on larger scales, Geomega is committed to work with major partners to help extract value from mining feeds, tailings and other industrial residues which contain rare earths and other critical metals. Irrespective of the metal or the source, Geomega adopts a consistent approach to reduce the environmental impact and to contribute to lowering greenhouse gases emissions through recycling the major reagents in the process.

Geomega’s process is based around its proprietary, low-cost, environmentally friendly way to tap into a C$1.5 billion global market to recycle magnet production waste and end of life magnets profitably and safely.

Geomega also owns the Montviel rare earth carbonatite deposit, the largest 43-101 bastnaesite resource estimate in North America and holds over 16.8M shares, representing approximately 14% of the issued and outstanding shares, of Kintavar Exploration Inc. (KTR.V), a mineral exploration company that is exploring for copper projects in Quebec, Canada.
