Constantine Karyannopoulos on Neo Performance Materials’ banner sales and profits in 2021

In a recent InvestorIntel interview with Tracy Weslosky, Neo Performance Materials Inc.’s (TSX: NEO) President, CEO and Director Constantine Karayannopoulos detailed Neo Performance’s dramatic rise in revenues and profits in 2021, the highest profits in the consistently profitable company’s history.  He then outlined his plans for Neo to maintain and continue an upward revenue and profits trajectory.  Constantine also said that Neo’s gold medal winning ESG audit for its (European) Estonian operations would be a goal for all of its worldwide operations.

The discussion also covered the variety of Neo’s products and their uses and markets not only in rare earths but also in other critical technology metals, including gallium, niobium, and tantalum for the electronics and specialty alloys industries.

Constantine pointed out that Neo Performance Materials is the most vertically integrated rare earths products manufacturer in the world outside of China, and one of only two niobium and tantalum processors in Europe. It is the only commercial separator of rare earths in Europe. All of its products are in high demand by the OEM automotive industry and the OEM semiconductor industry. Neo, he also said, is the leading manufacturer of bonded-type rare earth permanent magnets in the world, and their use in the OEM automotive industry is rapidly expanding.

Constantine Karayannopoulos, Jack Lifton and Byron W. King on the synergies between the global rare earths’ supply and the real-world markets

In this episode of Critical Minerals Corner, Jack Lifton and Critical Minerals Corner Co-Host & InvestorIntel Columnist Byron W. King are joined by Constantine Karayannopoulos, President, CEO and Director of Neo Performance Materials Inc. (TSX: NEO). Constantine describes the real state of the rare earth mining, refining, and end-use product industry, outside of China, as it exists and operates today, from the perspective of the largest non-Chinese owned vertically integrated, beyond the mine, rare earth products producer in the world. Questions from Jack and Byron lead Constantine to describe and differentiate today’s European and North American markets with regard to their sizes, existing supplies and suppliers, and their futures as he sees them.

Although Neo Performance Materials is a Canadian company, headquartered in Toronto, it produces and sells rare earth product lines within China, Europe, SE Asia, and North America. Jack points out that this makes Constantine Karayannopoulos a uniquely qualified expert to analyze the global rare earths’ products’ markets. And surmises that those watching may learn a great deal in this conversation about the synergies between rare earths’ supply and the real-world markets.

Jack Lifton on the effect of COVID-19 pandemic on the rare earths sector

“All producing mines have been at a standstill. Mines are extremely touchy about health and safety. Before anybody goes into a mine, they are drug tested because the mines do not want anybody who is drunk or high on a drug to go underground and endanger lives. When something like COVID occurs, they add that too. I am sure they are testing anybody who is going underground.” States critical materials expert Jack Lifton, in an interview with the Technology Metals Show hostess Tracy Weslosky.

Jack went on to advise on what people should do in the current market situation and where the rare earths market is heading.
