30% Rare Earths can be Extracted from EOL PM The rest Being Iron and Boron = 70%




Total 34.5% Rare Earths , Rest Iron Boron

Nd + Pr Oxides = 93%
Dy Oxide = 1.5%-2.5% *
Ho Oxide = 1.5% - 3.% *
Tb Oxide = 1.5%-2.5% *

* Depending on the Type of Magnet % can change




30t of EOL PM 1/3 will contain Rare Earths which gives IXR 10t of REO







Nd+Pr Oxide @ 99.8%
Nd Oxide @ 99.7%
Dy Oxide @ 99.8%
Tb Oxide @ 99.5%
Ho Oxide @ ?%

10,000kg of REO produced by IXR Breakdown

Nd+Pr Oxides = Approx 9300kg @ 99.8% $50USD/kg = ~$465,000USD
Dy Oxide = Approx 150kg - 250kg @ 99.8% $250USD/kg = ~$37,000USD - $62,000USD
Tb Oxide = Approx 150kg - 250kg @ 99.5% $750USD/kg = ~$112,500USD - $187,500USD
Ho Oxide = Approx 150kg - 300kg @ ?% 60USD/kg ~$9,000USD - $18,000USD











This is a rough Guestimation not including OPEX but from a few years ago


Out of the 10,000kg of REO produced over 90% will be Nd + Pr Oxides followed by the rest Dy, Tb, Ho + others depending on what the Permanent Magnet is designed for
