Exploring New Frontiers: Brazilian Rare Earths Limited's Quarterly Report
SYDNEY, Jan. 29, 2025 – Brazilian Rare Earths Limited (ASX:BRE / OTCQX: BRELY) is thrilled to share its quarterly insights for the period ending December 31. The report showcases extraordinary achievements in exploration and mineral discoveries that position the company for future success.
Unprecedented Exploration Success at Monte Alto
The recent drilling activities at Monte Alto have yielded remarkable results, highlighting the area’s potential. With ultra-high-grade rare earth intercepts reaching up to 45.7% Total Rare Earth Oxides (TREO), the standout grades include Neodymium and Praseodymium (NdPr) at 69,558 ppm, and Dysprosium and Terbium (DyTb) at 11,696 ppm.
Record Assays and Enhanced Mineralisation
New assay results have set records for niobium and tantalum, with figures reaching 1.7% Nb2O5 and 962 ppm Ta2O5 respectively. Additionally, the findings indicate high grades of scandium and uranium, confirming the area’s mineral richness. The continuity and depth of mineralised envelopes continue to expand, remaining open along strike and depth.
Potential for Growth in District-Scale Discoveries
Recent airborne magnetic surveys have unveiled the promise of a larger interconnected mineralised system extending over 4 km beyond Monte Alto’s original footprint.
High-Grade Discoveries
Numerous new regional findings have emerged, including high-grade rare earth outcrops with TREO concentrations up to 14.6%, primarily rich in dysprosium, terbium, and yttrium. This underlines the potential for significant growth within the region.
Remarkable Mineralogy and Metallurgical Progress
The mineralogy findings indicate that Chevkinite is the dominant mineral in the REE-Nb-Sc-Ta-U mineralisation, showcasing exceptional grades across various rare earth minerals.
Efficiency in Metallurgical Testing
Metallurgical tests on non-beneficiated ‘run-of-mine’ chevkinite displayed impressive results, achieving up to 94% TREO extraction using mild acid leach conditions.
Strategic Critical Minerals Portfolio
Brazilian Rare Earths Limited boasts not only high-grade tantalum but also a diverse endowment of rare earths, niobium, scandium, and uranium. The Monte Alto project encompasses 18 of the 50 U.S. designated ‘critical minerals’ at exceptional grades, positioning the company as a key player in the industry.
Advancements in Permitting
The company continues to make strides in securing necessary permits, successfully obtaining approval for the Final Exploration Report for Monte Alto.
Expansion of Exploration Licenses
The Final Exploration Reports for 20 additional licenses across the Rocha da Rocha Province total an impressive area of 348 km², paving the way for future exploration and development efforts.
