Latest Niobium Projects News

St George Mining delivers a new benchmark intercept of nearly 200 metres of continuous high-grade rare earths and niobium from surface at its Araxá project, reinforcing its scale and open-pit potential.

New Frontier Minerals is ramping up exploration at its Harts Range Project, focusing on 40 untested geophysical targets with an initial spotlight on the Kings Cross magnetic anomaly. Recent independent research underscores the district-scale copper-nickel-PGE potential of the region, reinforcing the strategic value of NFM's tenure.

Aldoro Resources has hit a new high-water mark at its Kameelburg project with drill hole DD008F delivering the thickest and highest-grade rare earth mineralisation to date. The full Phase II assay suite confirms a vast, multi-commodity system and an imminent resource update.

Encounter Resources has kicked off a 3,500-metre dual drilling campaign at its Yeneena Copper Project, aiming to extend known high-grade copper mineralisation along the Parbo system and complete a diamond hole at Haddon. Results are due in August 2026.

St George Mining has raised A$60 million through a two-tranche placement led by major shareholder Hancock Prospecting to accelerate development of its high-grade Araxá rare earths and niobium project in Brazil.

Encounter Resources is aggressively advancing its Aileron niobium project in Western Australia with a comprehensive 70,000-metre drilling campaign and a Mining Lease application, underpinning its push toward development.

Aldoro Resources has delivered standout assay results from its Phase II drilling at the Kameelburg Project in Namibia, highlighting extensive high-grade rare earth elements, strontium, and niobium mineralisation that underpin a robust multi-commodity deposit.

Chilwa Minerals has identified a substantial new heavy mineral sands target at Mpyupyu West in Southern Malawi, resuming drilling with two sonic rigs and preparing an updated resource estimate for its Mpyupyu deposits.

St George Mining has restructured its Lithium Star joint venture, with battery giant Amperex Technology Limited exchanging its 10% JV stake for a 12.5 million shareholding in St George at a 36% premium. This move consolidates lithium exploration under St George while giving ATL exposure to the Araxá niobium-rare earths project and offtake rights on future lithium production.

WA1 Resources has significantly increased the indicated resource at its Luni Niobium Project to 93 Mt at 1.32% Nb2O5, backed by A$131 million in cash and progressing key development workstreams including permitting and metallurgical testwork.

WA1 Resources has boosted the Indicated Mineral Resource at its Luni Niobium Project by 20 Mt, lifting the high-grade subset and reinforcing its global significance in critical metals.

Diamond drilling at Aldoro Resources’ Kameelburg project in Namibia confirms a significant niobium-rich zone extending to the northeastern edge of the carbonatite intrusion, refining the mineralised core’s limits ahead of a resource update.
