Avalon (OTCQB: AVLNF) and Engina announced a technology assessment (November 2025) showing Engina's Hybrid Supercritical Refining (HSR) achieved overall rare earth recoveries exceeding 90% in preliminary bench-scale tests on Nechalacho concentrate.
The HSR flowsheet integrates a caustic pretreatment with supercritical CO2 extraction in a largely closed-loop, water-lean design that modelling indicates can eliminate sulphuric acid plant needs, reduce neutralization waste and lower specific energy intensity versus conventional acid-bake/water-leach and caustic-cracking routes. A multi-phase roadmap toward pilot (TRL 7-8) and feasibility work is planned.
