Bell2Bell Podcast featuring Pat Ryan, Chairman and CEO of Ucore Rare Metals Inc. (TSX.V: UCU) (OTCQX: UURAF)

Bell2Bell’s latest podcast features Pat Ryan, Chairman and CEO of Ucore Rare Metals Inc. (TSX.V: UCU) (OTCQX: UURAF), a critical metals separation technology company executing an ESG-centered plan toward establishing a comprehensive North American critical metals supply chain. 

To begin the interview, Ryan discussed the rising demand for critical metals and provided insight into how Ucore is working to limit Western reliance on Chinese supply chains. 

“Ucore Rare Metals is involved with critical metals separation technology. A lot of new 21st century tech – from wind energy to electric vehicles – is driven by critical metals,” Ryan said. “These critical metals are the things that make the batteries work – metals like lithium, cobalt and nickel – or electric vehicle motor components… made with rare earth elements and oxides… China has actually cornered the market on a lot of these materials, particularly rare earth elements and some of the battery metals. As you look at the global landscape, you’ve got to figure out ways to feed the North American and European opportunities… Ucore is focused on putting the hammer right on the nail in the mid-market of critical metal processing and refining.”
