Strategic materials for modern technology
REEs are not "just another mineral." They are a chemistry project wrapped in geology and regulation. Sector‑agnostic integration is essential: power stability (to run separation), water and effluent treatment (for complex chemistries), radiation stewardship (monazite/byproduct thorium/uranium), and sovereign corridors for high‑value but politically sensitive cargo. GEROS brings these threads together so that a nation's REE program is bankable, lawful, and durable.
Our teams include mineral processors (beneficiation of bastnäsite/monazite/xenotime), hydromet chemists (cracking/leach), solvent‑extraction specialists (multi‑stage SX, ion exchange, MLE), and radiation safety professionals experienced with NORM/TENORM. We pair them with reagent OEMs, membrane/IX vendors, SX contactor suppliers, effluent treatment designers, and logistics/security partners who understand high‑value hazmat routing. That coalition minimizes scale‑up surprises and shortens time to spec‑compliant oxides.
We start with beneficiation (gravity, magnetic, flotation) tuned to host rock and REE mineralogy, seeking a concentrate that reduces downstream chemical burden. Cracking/leaching routes (e.g., sulfuric bake for monazite, HCl or NaOH routes depending on mineralogy) are optimized for impurity deportment (Ce, P, Fe, Th, U). The heart of the plant is multi‑stage SX/IX that splits LREE and HREE, delivering oxide purity that meets magnet and phosphor specs. We standardize pilot trains so countries can learn operations before scaling, and we modularize tank farms, settlers/mixers, and control rooms to compress construction.
We design segregation and shielding, NORM accounting, and waste immobilization (e.g., thorium in monazite residues) to international standards, including monitoring networks and emergency action plans. Effluent treatment covers pH, metals, and radionuclide removal with polishing for discharge or recycle. We plan waste form and storage from day one, avoiding legacy liabilities that have plagued historic REE operations.
Once oxide quality is proven, we evaluate partnerships for metal/alloy, NdPr metal, and magnet precursor steps, aligning with global OEMs while building domestic capability where practical. Offtake structures balance price exposure with floor protection; strategic stockpiles and defense/industrial policies may be incorporated by the host nation.
SX plants are dynamic; we instrument them heavily (density/flow/pH/redox/ORP, optical/inline), apply advanced control to stabilize phase ratios, and use digital twins for operator training and contingency drills. Vocational programs build local chem‑ops talent, lab technicians, and maintenance teams, so the knowledge base remains national.
We secure routes that meet hazardous‑cargo and radiation rules, with bonded hubs and dual‑route options to avoid chokepoints. Chain‑of‑custody/traceability demonstrates origin and ESG performance to buyers under increasing due‑diligence regimes.
Concentrate grade/recovery; oxide purity (% spec compliance by element); reagent consumption per kg REO; effluent compliance rates; radiation dose metrics; uptime of SX trains; trained nationals per shift; and realized pricing vs. benchmarks.
A credible, standards‑aligned REE industry that transforms a geological endowment into strategic leverage—without environmental or compliance shortcuts.
