GéoMégA Spins Out Separation Rights, Creates Innord Inc.

Montreal, March 2, 2015 – Geomega Resources Inc. (“GéoMégA” or the “Company”) (TSX.V: GMA) announces the creation of Innord Inc., a wholly owned private subsidiary, and the subsequent transfer of its separation rights and laboratory equipment. All current and future research and development initiatives of the Company will now go through Innord Inc., starting with the scale-up of its proprietary physical separation process.

 

“The goal of Innord Inc., the innovation arm of GéoMégA, is to optimize the value of the separation process by facilitating its development through direct investments of key financial partners.” comments Simon Britt, President and CEO of GéoMégA.

 

Customized reactor calibrated and operational

Pursuant to the January 14, 2015 news release, the Company completed the installation and calibration of its customized reactor. Batch process (up to 1 kg) with Montviel ore has started. The rare earth elements (REE) concentrate produced based on the Montviel flow sheet will solidify the REE recovery numbers and provide sufficient quantities for separation and quality certification testing.

 

About GéoMégA’s physical separation process

Based on free flow electrophoresis technology, GéoMégA’s physical separation process has the potential to reduce the capital required to build separation facilities compared to conventional techniques (i.e. fractional precipitation, ion exchange and solvent extraction), optimize REE recovery and improve the environmental performance of operations. Electrophoresis is the migration of charged species (ions, proteins, particles) in solution in the presence of an electric field.
