Back in 2018, 600t of feed to produce 200t of HPSREO
Capex $13M USD, in 2024 pricing + inflation ~ $16.5MUSD
Opex $35-$40USD/kg

Quick Summary







Total ~ 30M USD
Opex Costs ~
Tax Rate 12.5% ~ $3.75M USD

Those calculations were performed with pricing being rock bottom

NdPr Oxides ~ $50USD/kg
Tb Oxide ~ $640USD/kg
Dy Oxide ~ $210USD/kg
Ho Oxide ~ $60USD/kg
Opex Range ~$25USD/kg - $30USD/kg = 400,000kg = $10M - $12M USD
Capex Range $35M-$40M USD

Total ~$30M USD
Opex ~ $11M USD
Feed ~ $150,000USD
Tax 12.5% (30 x 0.125 = 3.75) ~ $3.75M USD I'm guessing here
