Latest Rare Earths News

Lodestar Minerals has reported high-grade heavy rare earth element assays up to 3.73% TREO from its Virgin Mountain project in Arizona, significantly surpassing previous results and highlighting its strategic potential in the US critical minerals landscape.

Locksley Resources has initiated diamond drilling at its Desert Antimony Mine in California, aiming to expand known high-grade mineralisation and support US critical minerals supply chains.

Vital Metals has reported exceptional surface assay results from its Nechalacho Rare Earths and Niobium Project in Canada, revealing ultra-high-grade mineralisation beyond its flagship Tardiff deposit. These findings underpin an aggressive resource expansion strategy ahead of a 2027 Pre-Feasibility Study.

Osmond Resources has partnered with Técnicas Reunidas to establish the European Union’s first vertically integrated rare earth production facility, aiming to reduce reliance on imports and boost local supply chains.

Gold Mountain Limited has announced a significant rare earth element discovery at its Capivara Prospect in Brazil, revealing strong mineralisation from surface and plans for resource drilling.

Deal headlines and big drill hits shared the stage with a brutal sell-off in a handful of tiny raisings. The week’s biggest winners were backed by clear news; the biggest losers showed what happens when buyers vanish after a halt.

Small caps stole the spotlight, with a handful of stocks doubling on deal news and early-stage project updates. Large miners were steadier, but even they couldn’t fully escape the week’s sharp gap moves.

Temas Resources has launched a major re-assay initiative on historic drill core at its La Blache project, aiming to identify valuable metals like gallium, scandium, and chromium while saving millions in drilling costs.

Eclipse Metals reports promising Phase 1 metallurgical test results from its Grønnedal Rare Earth Element Project in Greenland, highlighting over 90% REE recovery in magnetic fractions. These findings lay the groundwork for further optimisation and scale-up testing.

Basin Energy's maiden drilling at the Sybella Barkly Project confirms a significant sediment-hosted rare earth element system alongside promising uranium mineralisation, setting the stage for expanded exploration in Queensland.

Magnum Mining has confirmed that its Piracanjuba Prospect hosts an Ionic Adsorption Clay rare earth element system, revealing high recoveries of strategic metals under mild leaching conditions. This discovery could pave the way for a large-scale, low-cost rare earth operation in Brazil’s Azimuth REE Project.

Osmond Resources has reported compelling high-grade assay results from its Orión EU Critical Minerals Project in Spain, confirming the potential for a large-scale deposit of titanium, zircon, and rare earth elements. These findings reinforce the project's strategic importance amid growing EU demand for critical minerals.
