Steve Yang speaks with Tim Harrison, Managing Director of Ionic Rare Earths, about the company’s strategy to build secure Western supplies of magnet and heavy rare earths. Harrison explains how wholly owned Ionic Technologies is commercializing patented rare earth separation and magnet recycling technology developed in Belfast. The discussion covers the company’s demonstration plant, recycled rare earth oxides tested through a Ford-linked supply chain, and plans to expand commercial deployment into the United States, Europe and other strategic markets. Harrison outlines why recycling may offer a faster route to revenue and non-Chinese supply than developing new primary rare earth mines and refineries. He also explains the company’s solvent extraction process, technology readiness level, government support and potential commercial financing path. The interview examines the Makuutu rare earth project in Uganda, current corporate priorities, ownership, institutional interest and the company’s expected transition as commercialization advances. #Millettian
