American Rare Earths Limited has appointed Dr. Sanja Miskovic as Chief Technical Advisor to support technical leadership at the Halleck Creek project in Wyoming.

Dr. Miskovic brings more than two decades of experience in minerals processing, beneficiation, chemical extraction, and critical materials recovery. In her new role, she will guide flowsheet development, recovery optimization, and process scale-up decisions for separated rare earth oxide production at the planned Wyoming processing site.

American Rare Earths describes the flagship Halleck Creek asset as the largest known rare earth deposit in the United States on a total rare earth oxide basis. The appointment supports the company’s strategy to establish a domestic mine-to-magnet supply chain.

"Sanja brings the technical depth and operating instinct we need as we move Halleck Creek through feasibility and toward construction. Her focus on recovery and process optimization directly supports our objective of producing separated rare earth oxides in Wyoming and feeding those oxides into a domestic metallization and magnet supply chain. Her appointment strengthens an already strong technical team and reflects the continued focus on finding the best talent to advance the Halleck Creek project towards execution."

— Mark Wall, Chief Executive Officer, American Rare Earths

Dr. Miskovic also serves as Chief Technology Officer at Novex, the company's downstream metallization technology partner, and holds an academic appointment at the University of British Columbia’s Norman B. Keevil Institute of Mining Engineering.
