Rare earth processor Pensana has initiated recruitment of key operating personnel for its £150 million Saltend plant.
The inward investor is developing both mining operations in Africa and the complex separation plant on the Humber, as it prepares to supply vital oxides used in electric vehicle batteries and wind turbines.
It has given an operational update after breaking ground at Saltend this summer, with the ceremonial event featuring chairman Paul Atherley and Kwasi Kwarteng - in one of his last public appearances as Business Secretary before his brief stint as Chancellor. In it the markets have been briefed on the move into the build stage.
