About Ucore Rare Metals
Halifax-headquartered critical-minerals company commercializing RapidSX rare-earth separation technology through a Kingston, Ontario demonstration facility and planned commercial facilities in Canada and the United States.
Operating context
Ucore’s RapidSX programme has advanced beyond the Canadian demonstration-funding baseline. In September 2026 the company reported a US$4.6 million modification to its US government OTA, raising cumulative support under that arrangement to US$27 million. The added work targets samarium and gadolinium process development in Kingston and deployment of Enhanced Machine A at the planned Louisiana Strategic Metals Complex. Its August engineering update had selected contactor configurations after hydraulic and mass-transfer testing, with final factory-acceptance work still scheduled. These are meaningful scale-up steps, but they do not by themselves establish accepted commercial output at Louisiana. The Canadian NRCan demonstration contribution remains a separate C$4.276 million programme through March 2027. Currency, location and programme scope therefore need to remain explicit.
