RARE EARTH SUMMIT LAUNCHES SASKATCHEWAN AS CONTINENTAL HUB FOR CRITICAL RARE EARTHS PROCESSING
It was a pleasure to bring greetings September 20th on behalf of Premier Scott Moe and the Honourable Jeremy Harrison at the Rare Earth Minerals Summit. The summit was presented by The Saskatchewan Research Council, Vital Metals and the Canadian Chamber of Commerce.
Saskatchewan's leadership in rare earth elements (REE) production, research and education will debut today in Saskatoon as private and public sector collaborate to showcase three significant initiatives that are attracting international attention.
The Rare Earth Summit will focus on sites in the city's north industrial end, where Vital Metals Ltd. will unveil Phase One of its Rare Earth Extraction Facility, alongside the Saskatchewan Research Council's (SRC) $55 million vertically integrated Rare Earth Processing Facility that will include processing, separation and metals stages - a first-of-its-kind in North America. Industry leaders from the Canadian Chamber of Commerce's Critical Minerals Council will meet in-person to discuss growing and securing ethically sourced responsible supply chains of critical minerals.
"I am extremely pleased that SRC is not only meeting, but exceeding, the Saskatchewan Growth Plan goal of being the first North American processing facility to deliver individual, high purity REEs and now magnet metals," Minister Responsible for SRC Jeremy Harrison said. "Building a rare earth hub and the much-needed supply chains required to meet net zero goals in Canada and around the world will need to be a collaborative effort - one that is being showcased through this Summit."

SASKATCHEWAN'S ECONOMY CONTINUES TO LEAD THE NATION

Saskatchewan is once again a national leader in several key indicators of economic growth, with recent reports by Statistics Canada showing Saskatchewan led in investment in building construction, manufacturing sales and wholesale trade in July 2022.
"Saskatchewan's economy has been leading the country for many months and these numbers show that that momentum is only continuing," Trade and Export Development Minister Jeremy Harrison said. "Combined with significant private sector investment, it is clear Saskatchewan has the food, fuel and fertilizer the world wants and needs and that is translating into good jobs and incredible opportunities for the people of our province."
