Latest Rare Earth Elements News

Cygnus Metals has raised A$18.3 million through a well-supported share placement to accelerate resource expansion and mining studies at its flagship Chibougamau copper-gold project following strong drilling results.

Osmond Resources has reported strong assay results from Zone 2 of its Orion EU Critical Minerals Project in Southern Spain, revealing high-grade rutile and zircon mineralisation. The company is now prioritising a maiden drilling program to validate these findings and advance project development.

Peak Minerals has confirmed a significant high-grade rare earth-rich monazite discovery at its Minta Est site in Cameroon, expanding the Minta Rutile Project's mineralised footprint to over 660 square kilometres.

Dalaroo Metals has launched its maiden exploration program at the Blue Lagoon project in Greenland, targeting zirconium, niobium, and rare earth elements. Led by seasoned geologist Ole Christiansen, the program aims to validate promising historical geochemical anomalies and assess low-cost mining potential.

Eclipse Metals confirms a significant inferred resource of rare earth elements at its Grønnedal Project in Greenland, highlighting coarse-grained mineralogy and efficient processing potential that could position it as a key Western supplier.

Critical Metals Corp has landed a conditional US$120 million funding letter from the US Export-Import Bank to advance its Tanbreez rare earth project in Greenland, a move that could reshape Western critical minerals supply chains.

Ionic Rare Earths is broadening its Viridion Joint Venture to include a US-based rare earth refinery, aiming to strengthen a secure supply chain for critical magnet and heavy rare earth oxides outside China.

Viridis Mining and Minerals is expanding its Viridion joint venture to develop a rare earth refinery in the U.S., leveraging Brazilian feedstock and proprietary technology to meet growing demand for secure, non-Chinese rare earths.

Encounter Resources has launched a rapid aircore drilling campaign at its Aileron project, targeting shallow, high-grade niobium and rare earth mineralisation to build on last year’s discoveries and resource base.

Ark Mines has launched a detailed metallurgical improvement program at its Sandy Mitchell Rare Earth and Heavy Minerals project, aiming to refine processing techniques and expand its resource base. The work supports a Pre-Feasibility Study due early next year.

Osmond Resources has confirmed extensive mineralised outcrops spanning 12 kilometres at its Orion EU Critical Minerals Project in southern Spain, while expanding metallurgical test work to include silicon metal, a key EU strategic raw material.

Meteoric Resources has partnered with MTM Critical Metals to apply innovative Flash Joule Heating technology, significantly upgrading the value of rare earth elements from its Brazilian Caldeira Project. This collaboration aims to create a scalable supply of critical magnetic rare earths for Western industries.
