Thanks for your replies, longtermlegs and bohlsen, much appreciated. Ucore sure has a flashy site with some slick video's to go with it.

Sorry for more questions, but just to be sure I understand it, in what state/form are the products, when Alkane ships them to Shin Etsu? Are they in the PLS state, or are they more refined than that? When Alkane provided working samples of their products (like zirconium, etc.) to potential buyers, did Alkane make those final products, or did Shin Etsu? The Process map of the DZP shows them producing "zirconia, ferroniobium and rare earth products" on site. I guess these "rare earth products" are not individual rare earths in pure form? That's where Shin Etsu comes in? Sorry for my ignorance, I've been trying to figure this out and I'm having a hard time based on what's on Alkanes website.

Any guidance much appreciated.
