That historical loss tells you just how bad of a business this company was before it got revived.

MP also isn't yet ready to deliver \"separated rare earth oxides\" just yet, saying this will begin in 2022.

As purity improves over time, and demand for Neodymium-Praseodymium rises to feed the nation's hunger for windmills and EVs, it's logical to assume that pricing will improve as well.
