URBAN MINING COMPANY IS NOW NOVEON MAGNETICS: THE NATION’S ONLY MANUFACTURER OF SUSTAINABLE RARE EARTH MAGNETS POWERING OUR ELECTRIFIED FUTURE

Noveon

Today, the entity formerly known as Urban Mining Company announced its rebranding as Noveon Magnetics, Inc. Noveon Magnetics is the only U.S. producer of the high-performance rare earth magnets essential to the leading electric technology the world depends on every day – from electric vehicles to MRI machines to wind turbines and robots. Using its proprietary breakthrough technology, Noveon Magnetics recycles end-of-life magnets to manufacture new magnets even more powerful than the ones they were made from. Noveon’s factory in San Marcos, TX is built to manufacture 2,000 metric tons of magnetic material annually. “Electrification doesn’t happen without rare earth magnets,” said Scott Dunn, Chief Executive Officer of Noveon. “Magnets are used in the electric motors and generators that power our society. They can be found in household items like cell phones, earbuds, power tools, laptops, refrigerators, and electric scooters, as well as infrastructure such as wind turbines and electric vehicles. With huge growth in EVs and clean energy, the demand for magnets is skyrocketing and Noveon has invented a better magnet that uses less rare earth elements, has a much lower carbon footprint, and can even be made from recycled magnets. Magnets are the key to a low-carbon future.” Industry experts at Adamas Intelligence predict that global rare earth magnet alloy demand will more than double by 2030 – to over 460,000 tons – and triple to over 675,000 tons by 2035. Because new rare earth mines are unable to keep up with this demand, there will be a shortage of 66,000 tons annually by 2030 and 206,000 tons annually by 2035 – nearly one-third of the total market. Currently, China produces 93% of all rare earth magnets and is building new factories to meet the demand. However, supply-chain and national security concerns have caused many commercial and military consumers to seek a domestic magnet supply. Due to a recent law, U.S. defense contractors can no longer use Chinese magnets, and many are looking to Noveon. In fact, the U.S. Department of Defense has invested over $35 million in Noveon to support commercialization. Noveon Magnetics’ signature product is the patented EcoFlux™ magnet, sustainably produced and rated for high-performance applications such as EV motors and wind turbines. The EcoFlux magnet can be made from mined rare earth elements or from recycled end-of life magnets. When using mined materials, EcoFlux requires 20% less heavy rare earths, has a lower carbon footprint, and is stronger than magnets made with current manufacturing processes. When EcoFlux is produced sustainably from recycled magnets, it uses 90% less energy, less rare earth material, and causes less harm to the planet. Currently, less than 1% of the world’s end-of-life magnets are recycled. With over 100,000 tons of magnets discarded annually, Noveon is creating recycling solutions that maximize recovery, promote sustainability, and curtail dependance on traditional mined sources. “Over 600,000 tons of discarded magnets sit in our landfills, and only 1% is ever recycled,” said Peter Afiuny, Noveon’s Chief Commercial Officer. “Noveon’s process is a huge step forward for the environment in terms of reducing the use of electricity and chemicals, limiting the creation of radioactive and other waste byproduct, and diminishing the overall carbon footprint. We believe our technology can help bridge the upcoming supply shortage caused by both geopolitics and the lack of newly mined rare earth elements, and be the key to global sustainability of rare earth magnets.” Due to spiking demand and predicted price increases, the market for rare earth magnets is projected to quadruple to $79 billion per year by 2030. About Noveon Magnetics: Noveon Magnetics is the only high-performance rare earth magnet manufacturer in the United States. Noveon’s patented EcoFlux™ magnet can be made from mined rare earth elements or directly from recycled end-of-life magnetic materials and are even more powerful than the magnets they were made from. By leveraging a cache of materials sourced from discarded items, such as electric scooters and hard drives, Noveon’s process is over 90% more energy efficient than traditional manufacturing and results in a stronger, more durable magnet. Noveon’s magnets have critical applications in electric vehicles, MRI machines, wind turbines, defense systems, and robots, accelerating the process of electrification, contributing to more sustainable sources of energy, and aiding in the development of a more secure supply chain of magnetic material.

Dartmouth Innovation & Technology Festival Celebrates Completion of Dartmouth’s West End District Focused on Solving the World’s “Wicked Problems”

Dartmouth

With $500 Million in capital and programming investments, expanded district combines Dartmouth’s liberal arts focus with entrepreneurial spirit, technological and scientific expertise to create future leaders; Festival program will include a range of speakers and topics focused on creating a sustainable, equitable future Former Dartmouth president, John Sloan Dickey, famously implored students to apply their education for the benefit of humankind—because “there is nothing wrong with the world that better human beings cannot fix.” That’s the spirit behind the recently completed West End District at Dartmouth, which will be celebrated at the Dartmouth Innovation & Technology Festival, May 12-14, 2022. The festival will gather leading alumni, global technology experts, public policy leaders, faculty, and students for provocative discussions about innovation, collaboration, and the art of the possible. Dartmouth President Philip J. Hanlon said of the West End District, “Solving society’s greatest challenges requires that students, faculty, and staff have the necessary cutting-edge infrastructure to do their best work." Dartmouth’s West End began with the idea that organizing scholarship by research areas, rather than by departments, works better to break down the silos that have kept scientists, business leaders, and innovators looking at complex problems only from within their own disciplines. Interdisciplinary, inter-school, and intergenerational collaboration will prepare future leaders to tackle the world’s most wicked issues. The West End District includes the Tuck School of Business, Thayer School of Engineering, and two new state-of-the-art buildings, the Arthur L. Irving Institute for Energy and Society and the Class of 1982 Engineering and Computer Science Center, which houses the Department of Computer Science, Magnuson Center for Entrepreneurship, and the Digital Applied Learning and Innovation Lab. Key Points The West End District changes the way teaching and learning happens. It allows faculty and students to think systemically and holistically about society’s challenges—and is where big ideas become bold realities at the intersections of science, technology, business, and the liberal arts. The West End was a top priority of Dartmouth’s The Call to Lead campaign and is the largest building project in Dartmouth’s 253-year history. The Dartmouth Innovation & Technology Festival will feature a range of events, including: The presentation of the first annual McGuire Family Prize for Societal Impact, awarded to Jason McLellan, a structural biologist whose groundbreaking coronavirus research conducted at the Geisel School of Medicine laid the foundation for COVID-19 vaccines that have saved countless lives. Keynote and panel conversations about a range of topics, including sustainability, whether crypto currency can deliver long-term value, women’s health, artificial intelligence, transportation, and increasing diversity in STEM. Interactive experiences in makerspaces led by faculty and Dartmouth students. About Dartmouth Founded in 1769, Dartmouth is a member of the Ivy League and consistently ranks among the world’s greatest academic institutions. Dartmouth has forged a singular identity for combining its deep commitment to outstanding undergraduate liberal arts and graduate education with distinguished research and scholarship in the Arts and Sciences and its four leading graduate schools—the Geisel School of Medicine, the Guarini School of Graduate and Advanced Studies, Thayer School of Engineering, and the Tuck School of Business.
