Lindian Resources has locked in a US$11.6 million financing package from Malawi's NBS Bank, bolstering the Kangankunde Rare Earths Project with asset-backed and working capital facilities. This deal complements Lindian’s recent A$100 million placement and underscores its commitment to local partnerships.

Lynas Rare Earths reported a record A$265 million quarterly revenue in Q3 FY26, driven by higher NdPr prices and production milestones including early Samarium oxide output. The company secured a 10-year Malaysian operating licence and extended a key supply deal with Japanese partner JARE through 2038.

Critical Metals Corp has consolidated its stake in the Tanbreez Rare Earths Project, gaining government approval to increase ownership to 92.5%, while European Lithium retains a 7.5% interest. This clearance removes a key hurdle, enabling the project’s development to accelerate.

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.
