As society emerges from fossil energy to a more efficient and sustainable source, GéoMégA believes that the future of clean energy resides in the lanthanide called neodymium. Neodymium is vital for the production of high-performance permanent-magnet motors, used in a wide variety of electrical devices. Such applications are already in increasing demand with the growth of sustainable-energy initiatives including hybrid and electric vehicles and direct-drive wind turbines.

Furthermore, to develop such neodymium deposits, GéoMégA believes it makes much more investment sense to have internal rare earth processing technology and in that way avoiding sending off your concentrate to companies in China for poor returns and no global supply advantage.

GéoMégA and its private subsidiary Innord are mineral exploration and mining processing technology companies which are focusing on the development of rare earth elements deposits in Quebec. The focus is delivering an environmentally sustainable process starting from the hydrometallurgical process to make a concentrate and all the way to separated high purity oxides. The companies have developed a low acid and low power metallurgical process for bastnaesite ore and a proprietary technology for rare earth purification that has been already demonstrated on industrial residues. GéoMégA is committed to meeting Canadian mining industry standards and distinguishing itself with its innovative engineering, stakeholder’s engagement and its dedication to local transformation benefits.

As the global energy grid moves to higher penetration levels of renewable energy, there will be an exponential increase in demand for low-cost, long-duration energy storage. This is the market targeted by e-Zn, the first company in the world to “metalize” electricity. The company’s zinc-based energy storage system can be up to 80 per cent less expensive than comparable lithium-ion systems for long-duration applications. Importantly, its energy storage system can cycle without degradation in capacity. It is also fire resistant, made of fully recyclable materials, does not rely on precious metals, and has fast response time. e-Zn is currently targeting the off-grid market, with a focus on the mining sector.
