Rainbow Rare Earths

Happy Christmas and New Year from all of us at Rainbow Rare Earths! 

Our CEO, George Bennett, joined Proactive to discuss the latest interim report on our Phalaborwa rare earth project. Key highlights: ✅ Economic viability confirmed despite inflation ✅ Competitive costs (~$40/kg for magnet rare earths) ✅ Potential as a high-margin project outside China Watch the full interview for full insights and next steps as we gear up for 2025 pilot plant results. 🎥https://lnkd.in/eibBhdsX #rareearths #sustainability #cleantech

Interim Economic Study confirms Phalaborwa as one of the highest margin rare earth projects in development today. Project economics remain robust against inflation and REE pricing with low operating and upfront capital costs. The study represents a much higher level of confidence in both the processing flowsheet prior to separation than the PEA (published in October 2022). Further opportunities for operating and capital cost optimisation will be explored in H1 2025 alongside separation test work. #RareEarths #RareEarthElements #Sustainability #Innovation #Phosphogypsum #CircularEconomy #commodities #criticalmaterials #energytransition Read the full release here:

China has banned exports of gallium, germanium and antimony to the United States, a day after the Biden administration imposed expanded restrictions on the sale of advanced US technology to China, reports Mining.com. The move highlights the precarity of critical mineral supply chains, and consequences of overreliance on Chinese production. In terms of rare earths supply, #China alone mines 70% of rare earths, processes 87% and refines 91%. And where does Rainbow fit in? We're expected to be one of the lowest-cost producers of separated rare earth oxides globally by reprocessing historic mining waste to extract #rareearths. Our business model will deliver an ethical and western supply chain of #rareearths - critical for #netzero targets, modern tech and #nationalsecuirty. https://lnkd.in/giuENHsv

We’re excited to announce that our CEO, George Bennett, will be speaking at The Magnetics Show Europe on Wednesday, 4th December at 3:00 PM at Amsterdam RAI, Europaplein 24, 1078 GZ Amsterdam, Netherlands. George will be sharing insights on the topic: Unlocking a global opportunity to recover rare earths from phosphogypsum - discussing Rainbow Rare Earths' strategy to drive sustainable resource recovery and innovation in the rare earths sector. #RareEarths #RareEarthElements #Sustainability #Innovation #Phosphogypsum #MagneticsShowEurope #CircularEconomy

Are we ready for billions of humanoid robots by 2040? 🤖 Experts project that humanoid robots will soon become a common presence in our lives, with demand driving massive growth in critical materials like NdFeB magnets—essential for motors and actuators. Meeting this challenge will require a significant increase in global production capacity. At Rainbow Rare Earths, we are committed to supporting this transformative future by providing a responsible and sustainable source of rare earths to power innovation at scale.

"We believe this is one of the most resilient rare earths projects in the world" - George Bennett, CEO of Rainbow Rare Earths. You can watch George speaking at Mintek@90 via Mining Weekly (link below). In his presentation, he discusses the importance of #rareearths for a range of industries including #EVs🔋, #Hybrids🚗, #consumerelectronics📱 and #humanoidrobotics 🤖, and he explores the unique economics of Rainbow's Phalaborwa project. 🌱 Learn more here 👉 https://lnkd.in/eSYQyK9c

Rainbow Rare Earths CEO, George Bennett presented at the Mintek @ 90 conference, commemorating 90 years of Mintek's remarkable contributions to mineral and metallurgical innovation. In addition to celebrating Mintek's legacy across the mining space in southern Africa, the conference looks to the future trajectory of the minerals industry, and work the team are advancing to realise #criticalminerals opportunities for South Africa. In 2022, Rainbow chose Mintek’s hydrometallurgical department as its technical partner in South Africa due to its expertise, particularly in ion exchange, and has now run an extensive programme of bench scale testwork and pilot plant testwork on sample product from Rainbow's flagship Phalaborwa Project, producing ca. 35kg of mixed rare earth carbonate for the separation pilot plant. Rainbow is now setting up laboratory facility at Mintek to further optimise the process to achieve expected +99% purity for Nd/Pr, with equipment orders underway. Test work scope has been agreed to purify rare earth feedstock ahead of separation, and the Continuous Ion Chromatography pilot plant is being relocated from the US to Mintek to allow the full focus of the team on these essential next steps as Rainbow advances the Definitive Feasibility Study in 2025 ahead of planned production of Rare Earths Neodymium, Praseodymium, Terbium, and Dysprosium in 2027.

“In South Africa, a $50 million equity investment in TechMet Ltd will support the development of the Phalaborwa Rare Earths project, a rare earth element processing facility that will develop a more diverse, resilient, and sustainable critical mineral supply chain, drive the clean energy transition, and create economic opportunity for local communities", writes U.S. International Development Finance Corporation as it reflects on its record-breaking fiscal year of investments. This investment and endorsement underscores the global commitment to clean energy and the vital role rare earths play in enabling that future. As we advance Phalaborwa, we look forward to supporting local economies, reducing carbon footprints, and meeting the growing demand for critical minerals worldwide. #cleantech #criticalminerals #investment #cleanerergy https://lnkd.in/eWDQjMDc

Rainbow Rare Earths CEO, George Bennett attended the Arlington Group Asset Management Limited Rapallo conference this month to discuss some of the most critical issues facing the #mining industry and the supply of #criticalrawmaterials. George spoke to Simon Catt about Rainbow's flagship Phalaborwa project, and the progress the company has made advancing the production of magnet rare earth elements neodymium and praseodymium (NdPr), dysprosium (Dy) and terbium (Tb).
