Bayan Mining and Minerals has locked in a reverse circulation drill rig with Alaska Midnight Sun Drilling for its first-ever drilling at the Desert Star rare earth project in California, targeting up to 1,000 metres from June 2026. The fully permitted program aims to test high-grade surface mineralisation and geophysical targets near the Mountain Pass mine.

Power Minerals has completed due diligence on the Morro do Ferro rare earths project in Brazil, revealing exceptional magnetic rare earth oxide grades that underpin plans to finalise acquisition and ramp up exploration.

Eclipse Metals’ 2025 drilling at Grønnedal reveals broad rare earth mineralisation from surface, with multiple zones exceeding 1% TREO and a strong Nd-Pr magnet rare earth profile, reinforcing the project’s strategic importance.

MRG Metals Limited has reported high-grade Total Heavy Mineral (THM) assay results from the fifth alluvial target at its Adriano Rare Earth Project in Mozambique, reinforcing district-scale mineralisation across five targets. Mineralogical studies and assays from adjacent licences are pending, supporting the broader Adriano-Fotinho critical mineral corridor potential.

American Rare Earths has outlined a three-stage pilot plant program combining Wyoming-based mineral processing with downstream refining in Canada, aiming to accelerate pre-production rare earth oxide output from its Halleck Creek Project.
