Pensana submits planning application for Saltend rare earth processing facility

British miner Pensana Rare Earths has submitted a planning application for its proposed rare earth oxide separation plant in Yorkshire, UK, which would be Europe's only rare earths processing facility.

The planned project will be located in the Saltend Chemicals Park and will be the continent's only source of neodymium and praseodymium. These rare earths are collectively known as NdPr and have received significant interest in recent months due to their integral role in the production of electric motors.
