Operations
Products and/or services of Australian Rare Earths
- Ionic Clay Rare Earths: Exploration and resource evaluation of ionic clay-hosted rare earth element deposits located across southeastern South Australia and western Victoria, featuring a mineral resource estimate of 236 million tonnes at 748 parts per million total rare earth oxides for permanent magnet applications.
- Sedimentary Uranium Exploration: Active exploration of sedimentary basin targets in South Australia, focusing on roll-front and sandstone-hosted mineralisation to identify extractable uranium resources suitable for supporting low-carbon nuclear power generation across domestic and international energy supply chains.
- Regional Uranium Prospects: Mineral exploration operations across secondary licence areas in South Australia, targeting shallow tertiary sediment structures through systematic geophysical surveys, reconnaissance drilling, and geochemical sampling to delineate additional prospective uranium mineralisation zones.
- Queensland Critical Minerals: Exploration and target generation across prospective geological provinces in Queensland, seeking hard-rock and regolith-hosted rare earth element deposits to expand the regional critical minerals portfolio and diversify geographic asset exposure.
- Metallurgical Processing Development: Technical studies and metallurgical testwork focused on developing low-cost heap leach extraction processes, optimizing clay dispersion, and producing heavy and light rare earth carbonate concentrates suitable for downstream refining and magnet manufacturing.
- Regional Mineral Drilling: Execution of air-core and diamond core drilling programs across regional tenement holdings in South Australia and Victoria to define resource extensions, establish exploration targets, and collect metallurgical samples for process optimization.
