Ucore Rare Metals Inc. announced last week that a team comprised of Innovation Metals Corp., Kingston Process Metallurgy Inc. and Mech-Chem Associates Inc. will develop its Louisiana Strategic Metals Complex in coordination with a yet-to-be-determined design-build contractor, reports Investing News.
