Immersion Heaters

The Saskatchewan Research Council (SRC) is Canada’s second largest research and technology
organization. SRC focuses its efforts on the mining, minerals, agriculture and energy sectors, and the
environmental considerations that are important across each sector. With about 400 employees, $220
million in annual revenue and over 75 years of RD&D experience, SRC has 1,500 clients in
27 countries around the world. We help clients from across the world solve technology problems, make
improvements, seize opportunities, maintain competitiveness, increase productivity, and develop new
markets.

The SRC has acquired bastnaesite from Canadian sources and is working towards creating domestic
capacity for bastnaesite processing, which will be integrated into SRC’s Rare Earth Processing Facility.
SRC will process bastnaesite ore to produce a mixed rare earth product, which will be further processed
using SRC’s solvent extraction and metal smelting technology to produce rare earth metals.
