RareX (ASX:REE) has been granted a mining lease (M80/648) for its 100% owned Cummins Range Project in Western Australia, marking a major regulatory milestone and significantly de-risking the project’s path to development.
The lease provides RareX with the statutory right to establish a mining operation, moving the flagship multi-critical-minerals asset beyond the exploration and tenure-risk phase.
Cummins Range hosts a rare combination of critical minerals, including rare earth elements, gallium, scandium, and clean apatite-hosted phosphate, positioning it as a strategically important project within Australia’s critical minerals landscape.
With mining tenure now secured, RareX will focus on metallurgical optimisation, process flowsheet development, and value maximisation across its multiple mineral streams.
