Latest Rare Earth Elements News

Red Metal’s large-scale column leach tests confirm high rare earth recoveries from coarsely crushed Sybella ores using weak sulphuric acid, underpinning a low-cost heap leach development pathway.

Lodestar Minerals’ recent 12,344m drilling campaign at Ned’s Creek confirms high-grade gold continuity and reveals new mineralisation zones beyond the December 2025 Exploration Target, setting the stage for a maiden resource in 2026.

Magnum Mining has mapped a substantial 3.3 km² equivalent thorium anomaly at its Wet Mountain rare earths project in Colorado, aligning with historic high-grade assays and setting the stage for initial diamond drilling.

Victory Metals has achieved a major processing milestone at its North Stanmore Project, producing a 7.1% Total Rare Earth Oxide concentrate with 40% heavy rare earth oxides through continuous flotation at pilot scale.

Dateline Resources has pinpointed three priority zones for heavy rare earth exploration at its Music Valley project in California, following a detailed helicopter-borne geophysical survey that revealed structurally complex areas with elevated thorium signatures.

Eminence Minerals has kicked off a comprehensive drilling campaign at its Campo Grande Rare Earth Project in Brazil, targeting high-priority corridors adjacent to a major peer's high-grade rare earth discovery.

European Resources has significantly expanded the exploration potential at its Korsnäs rare earth project in Finland, increasing the Exploration Target by up to 190% to between 18 and 32 million tonnes at 0.8% to 1.0% TREO. This growth follows new passive seismic survey results and geological modelling extending mineralisation down to -400 m RL.

Cobalt Blue Holdings and Glomar Minerals have shortlisted four US sites and begun testwork for Project Infinity, aiming to build the first commercial polymetallic nodule refinery in the United States.

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.

Eclipse Metals has unveiled high-grade fluorite alongside a suite of critical minerals including gallium and rubidium at Greenland’s Ivigtût mine, repositioning the asset beyond its historic cryolite legacy.

Odessa Minerals has revealed promising rare earth and lithium assay results from its Lockier Range Project in WA, highlighting potential carbonatite-hosted REE mineralisation at Mt Yaragner and fertile lithium pegmatites at the Southern Pegmatite Field.

Iondrive Limited’s proprietary IONSolv™ process has independently achieved a 93.5% recovery rate for dysprosium from US commercial e-waste, vastly outperforming previous techno-economic assumptions and extending its rare earth extraction capabilities into heavy rare earths.
