Latest Niobium Projects News

Aldoro Resources has boosted the Kameelburg rare earth project’s Mineral Resource Estimate to 804.5 million tonnes, now hosting 1.37 million tonnes of contained NdPr oxide; exceeding key western-world deposits. The maiden Indicated Resource and robust metallurgical testwork set the stage for development.

QEM Limited is moving forward with its acquisition of Freshwater Metals, securing past-producing tungsten and prospective fluorspar and niobium projects in Idaho, aligning with US efforts to bolster domestic critical mineral supplies.

Encounter Resources has significantly extended the shallow, high-grade niobium mineralisation at its Emily deposit and confirmed thick, high-grade zones at Green within the Aileron Project. A 70,000m drilling campaign is underway, underpinning resource growth and development plans.

WA1 Resources has bolstered its Luni Niobium Project’s Indicated Mineral Resource by 20 million tonnes and reported promising beneficiation testwork, setting the stage for its Pre-Feasibility Study due in Q4 2026.

St George Mining has delivered its most impressive drill results yet at the Araxá Rare Earths and Niobium Project, revealing a new record intercept of 207 metres of continuous high-grade mineralisation from surface. These findings bolster the case for a straightforward open-pit operation and reinforce Araxá’s status as South America’s largest, highest-grade carbonatite-hosted rare earth resource.

WA1 Resources continues to hit strong niobium grades in infill drilling at its Luni Project, sharpening the focus for early mining years and keeping its Pre-Feasibility Study on track for late 2026.

Trek Metals has completed its maiden manganese drilling at the Kuro discovery in WA, with visual manganese logged in 63 of 72 holes. The drilling confirms Induced Polarisation as an effective tool for uncovering concealed manganese mineralisation, with assay results expected by early August.

Hastings Technology Metals and JV partner Wyloo have unveiled an updated Definitive Feasibility Study for the Yangibana Rare Earths Project, revealing robust economics and a streamlined path to production with substantial infrastructure already in place.

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.
