Notes to Editors:
Rainbow's strategy is to become a globally-significant producer
of rare earth metals. NdPr are vital components of the strongest
permanent magnets used for the motors and turbines driving the
green technology revolution. Analysts are predicting demand for
magnet rare earth oxides will grow substantially over the coming
years, driven by increasing adoption of green technology, pushing
the overall market for NdPr into deficit.
The Phalaborwa Rare Earths Project, located in South Africa,
comprises an Inferred Mineral Resource Estimate of 38.3Mt at 0.43%
TREO contained within gypsum tailings stacked in unconsolidated
dumps derived from historic phosphate hard rock mining. High value
NdPr oxide represent 29.1% of the total contained rare earth
oxides, with economic Dysprosium and Terbium oxide credits
enhancing the overall value of the rare earth basket contained in
the stacks. The rare earths are contained in chemical form in the
gypsum dumps, which is expected to deliver a higher-value rare
earth carbonate, with lower operating costs than a typical rare
earth mineral project.
The Company's Gakara Project in Burundi, which produces one of
the highest-grade concentrates in the world (typically 54% total
rare earths oxides ("TREO")) through ongoing trial mining
operations, is currently the only African producer of rare earths.
The Gakara basket is weighted heavily towards NdPr, which account
for over approximately 19.5% of the contained TREO and 85% of the
value of the concentrate.
