Phoenix Tailings selects Rochester site for $375 million separation facility

Phoenix Tailings selected Eastman Business Park/Kodak Park in Rochester for a planned separation facility tied to its Freedom project. Reports cite a $375 million facility, more than 18,000–20,000 tonnes of annual feedstock, and 4,400 tonnes of separated oxides, with ramp-up targeted from 2027 and full production in 2028; financing, feedstock, permitting, and execution remain unproven.
