and it's a long slow process......

• Mineralogical analysis and metallurgical testing on samples from the Red Tail and Yellow Tail resource in the Koppamurra Project continue to deliver positive results.
• Mineralogical analysis identified that the rare earth elements Lanthanum (La), Neodymium (Nd), Praseodymium (Pr), Samarium (Sm), and Terbium (Tb) are highly distributed to Lanthanite minerals hosted in clay (<20µm in size) at Koppamurra.
• Metallurgical testing using various extraction techniques and test conditions demonstrated rare earth extraction of up to 68% of the valuable rare earth oxides used in high strength magnets. (Neodymium N2O3, Praseodymium Pr6O11, Dysprosium Dy2O3 and Terbium Tb4O7).
• Commenced mineral processing tests aimed at rejecting non target minerals and optimising metallurgical extraction of magnet rare earth minerals to finalise the process flowsheet for Koppamurra.
