Latest Rare Earths News

Brazilian Critical Minerals and Southern Alliance Mining have agreed to collaborate on rare earth production, focusing on in-situ recovery methods to leverage operational experience and advance BCM’s Ema project.

Lindian Resources has secured a fixed-price diesel supply agreement for the Kangankunde Rare Earths Project, removing fuel cost uncertainty through construction and commissioning and reinforcing the project’s low-cost profile.

Critica Limited has achieved a significant breakthrough at its Jupiter Rare Earth Project, lifting magnet rare earth recovery to approximately 81% and total rare earth oxide recovery to around 71% through pilot plant optimisation. This advance strengthens the foundation for its ongoing scoping study and downstream processing plans.

Hastings Technology Metals has secured a critical supply of African monazite concentrate to fuel its newly acquired hydromet plant in Thailand, aiming to start production by Q4 2026. This move positions Hastings closer to generating operational cash flow while expanding rare earths supply capacity.

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.

Marquee Resources has entered a 24-month patent license and option agreement with UT-Battelle LLC, granting access to advanced rare earth element separation technologies from Oak Ridge National Laboratory. This positions Marquee to explore downstream processing opportunities for its Redlings REE Project in Western Australia.

Mount Ridley Mines Limited has validated its heavy rare earth element resource through historical metallurgical testwork showing recoveries up to 86.5% across the Grass Patch Complex. The results underpin ongoing development efforts and metallurgical optimisation plans.

Power Minerals Limited (ASX: PNN) has revealed outstanding concentrations of magnetic rare earth oxides (MREO) at its Morro do Ferro Project in Brazil, highlighting high-grade drill results that could shape the project's economic potential.
