We're Searching For Rare Earth Elements

We discovered the remarkable value of rare earth elements long before they experienced a surge in demand. Most rare earth elements can only be extracted through heavy industrial mining operations. We specialize in extracting rare earth elements from resources that have already been mined, thereby bypassing and eliminating all of the expensive prospecting and mining processes.

First we gasify coal and waste coal into a synthesis gas using a gasifier. The resulting syngas is then used to power turbine power plants, or it is converted directly into jet fuel, diesel fuel, gasoline, or other commodities using a Gas-to-Liquids plant. The result of the GTL process is a clean-burning synthetic fuel.

The resulting ash is rich in concentrated rare earth elements, which then undergo acidic and ionic fluid processes to separate the rare earth elements from the coal ash. The elements will then either be converted into metals in-house, or sent to processing plants to be formed into metals for commercial and industrial use.

Finding Hidden Value

If you are the owner of a coal mine, coal fly ash hauler, or even a waste coal pile owner, we would like an opportunity to take a peek at your coal or coal byproduct. You can send samples of at least two pounds to our lab, and we will analyze it for rare earth elements. From there, we will respond to you to see how we can work with you to harvest the hidden value from that coal.

Rare Earth Element Extraction

We can bring in the equipment to covert the waste coal into syngas, and then process any hidden rare earth elements out of the coal ash. If you own a pile of coal ash, we can also extract rare earth elements from that. This can be done as a joint venture, or we can reach a partnership agreement to acquire the coal or ash from you on an ongoing basis.

Drainage Cleaning

We can eliminate any acid mine drainage produced from the coal on your property while we withdraw rare earth elements from your waste coal or ash. Once the waste coal has been eliminated, you will never have to contend with acid mine drainage at that location ever again.

FAQ

How will You know if our coal or ash contains rare earth elements?

We will need you to collect samples and send them to us for testing. We will scan the samples for the top 16 rare earths through proven lab testing methods.

I know the location of a coal pile or ash pile, but I don't own it. Can I still help you?

If you send us the location of the pile along with some photos of it, we can take it from there. If we acquire the pile, we are willing pay you a finders fee based on how large the pile is and how much rare earth content it contains.

How much coal or ash needs to be in present to make it worth your while?

We look for piles of coal or ash that contain several million of tons in order to make our projects affordable. We will evaluate at each site on a case-by-case basis.

In what geographic areas are you willing to process coal or fly ash?

At this time, we are working projects in Pennsylvania and Texas. We are also looking to develop projects in Wyoming, Kentucky, Virginia, West Virginia, Ohio, Indiana and Illinois.

How do you work with a waste coal pile owner?

It all depends on the amount of coal available, the amount of rare earth elements it contains, and the BTU value of the coal in place.

Once a deal that is beneficial for all parties involved has been struck, we will build the plants and bring in the equipment.

How long will it take before you begin processing the waste coal or ash pile?

Each project is different. The time frame depends on permitting of the plant and project site, weather conditions, the availability of engineering teams that are needed to develop the site, capital formation, and several other factors. We design sites to last for for a minimum of 20 years, and potentially more than 40 years so we can recoup a good profit for ourselves and our investors.

What other outputs will you produce?

With waste coal, we have the potential to produce jet fuel, diesel fuel, electrical grid power, data center power, hydrogen, and carbon-based products. We are also able to mine Bitcoin, and all of this is in addition to the rare earth elements extracted from the site. The resulting clean ash can also be sold to concrete companies to produce green concrete.

Does all coal contain rare earth elements?

No. Before we initiate a project, we will test samples from the site in a lab to determine the amount, type, and concentrations of rare earth elements before we ever begin a project.

How much power or fuel can you produce on a site?

Coal fly ash piles are incapable of producing energy of fuels. The ability of waste coal to produce energy depends on moisture content, BTUs, carbon and hydrogen content of the coal. The capability of each project to produce energy or fuel will be unique.
