Project Boomerang — Turkish Host & U.S.-Controlled Secure-Core Model
Turkish Host & U.S.-Controlled Secure-Core Model
Project Boomerang pairs a Turkish industrial phosphogypsum resource and host infrastructure with a secure, ARE-controlled processing boundary. Turkish personnel support external feedstock preparation, utilities, site, and port operations. Authorized U.S. personnel control the protected processing core and strategic outputs.
The lower-risk mineral fraction subject to analytical and regulatory qualification returns to the host only after project-specific qualification. The REE-bearing product and separately controlled radiological stream follow authorized U.S. pathways.
640,000 U.S. Short Tons Per Year
Two nominal 40-U.S.-short-ton-per-hour lines. Products and performance remain subject to representative feed, testing, regulatory approvals, and customer qualification.
Processing Lines
Two nominal lines
40 U.S. short tons/hr each
Annual Campaign Basis
640,000 short tons/yr
≈ 580,600 metric tonnes/yr
Feedstock Source
Turkish industrial phosphogypsum
Each resource independently sampled & assayed
These figures are reference planning assumptions, not final design or operating capacity. Actual throughput, recovery, and product specifications will be established through representative feed characterization, subsystem validation, integrated testing, and product qualification.
Secure Core, Distributed Infrastructure
REE-Bearing Product Pathway
The rare-earth-bearing product follows authorized U.S. pathways. Product form, purity, impurity profile, and qualification status will be established through representative characterization, process validation, and customer qualification.
Separately Controlled Radiological Stream
The TENORM/source-material-bearing stream follows a separately controlled U.S. pathway. ARE has established the classification, packaging, import, receipt, treatment, recovery, storage, and disposition pathway for licensed counterparties.
Lower-Risk Mineral Fraction Return
The prospective lower-risk mineral fraction subject to analytical and regulatory qualification returns to the host only after project-specific qualification. This supports liability reduction for the Turkish industrial host.
Secure ARE-Controlled Processing Core
Authorized U.S. personnel control the protected processing core and strategic outputs as well as the external feedstock preparation, utilities, site, and operations.
Protected Host Opportunities
ARE is currently engaged in host development discussions. Specific site data, resource owner identities, and confidential site information are not disclosed publicly.
Each Turkish host resource will be independently sampled and assayed against the ARE element suite. Feed-specific recovery, product purity, impurity profile, deliverable volume, annual quantity, payability, and pricing will be established through representative characterization, process validation, and product qualification.
