Prices of praseodymium-neodymium oxides, a type of light rare earth, increased for the fifth consecutive day as of May 14, lifted by stepped-up downstream stockpiling as demand resumes with the fading impact of the coronavirus pandemic.

SHANGHAI, May 14 (SMM) – Prices of praseodymium-neodymium oxides, a type of light rare earth, increased for the fifth consecutive day as of May 14, lifted by stepped-up downstream stockpiling as demand resumes with the fading impact of the coronavirus pandemic.

SMM assessed spot prices of praseodymium-neodymium oxides (Pr-Nd oxides≥ 99%) at 270,000-272,000 yuan/mt as of May 14, up 1,000 yuan/mt from the previous day and up 7,500 yuan/mt from the prior week. The prices have climbed about 4.2% from April 14.

Prices of praseodymium-neodymium metal (Pr-Nd ≥ 98.5%) also advanced, to 340,000-342,000 yuan/mt as of May 14, 1,500 yuan/mt higher from May 13 and 10,500 yuan/mt higher from May 7.

Producers of permanent magnet materials and other downstream plants stepped up purchases as current prices of praseodymium-neodymium oxides and metals remain at the lowest levels in nearly three years.

While upstream producers tend to further firm up offers, SMM expects the momentum in the round of price rally to be limited in the short term.

JOGMEC Invests $33.9M in Toyota Tsusho's Namibian Rare Earth Project, Enhancing Supply Security

[SMM Rare Earth Flash News] Japan Organization for Metals and Energy Security (JOGMEC) and Toyota Tsusho have announced that JOGMEC will invest up to C$47.7 million (approximately $33.9 million) in Toyota Tsusho’s Namibian rare earth project company to jointly develop the Lofdal heavy rare earth mine in Namibia. This is expected to become Japan’s first rare earth mine project in Africa, enhancing the supply security of critical minerals. The Lofdal deposit is rich in heavy rare earth elements such as dysprosium and terbium, which can be used in permanent magnetic materials for NEV motors, among other applications. The two parties will conduct a feasibility study through a newly established project company and plan to make a final investment decision in fiscal year 2027.

Harena Rare Earths Secures $4.48M for Madagascar Project, Aims for 2028 Production Start

[SMM Rare Earth Express] Harena Rare Earths announced that its Ampasindava rare earth project in Madagascar has received $4.48 million in funding from the U.S. International Development Finance Corporation (IDFC) to support pilot plant construction, laboratory testing, and environmental protection projects, laying the groundwork for subsequent financing. The Ampasindava ion-adsorption rare earth ore project plans to start production in mid-2028, with an expected annual output of approximately 4,000 mt of rare earth oxides, including about 1,700 mt of high-value magnetic rare earths such as Pr-Nd, dysprosium, and terbium, and a total investment of approximately $150 million. Harena is also evaluating building processing capacity in the US and Europe, and is in discussions with enterprises such as MP Materials, USA Rare Earth, and Solvay on cooperation.

미국, 공급망 다변화와 중국 의존도 감축 위해 마다가스카르 희토류 프로젝트 지원

[SMM 희토류 속보] 미국 정부는 핵심 광물 공급망 다변화와 중국산 희토류 의존도 축소를 위해 마다가스카르의 암파신다바 희토류 프로젝트 지원을 결정했다． 프로젝트 개발사인 하레나 레어 어스(Harena Rare Earths)는 미국 국제개발금융공사(DFC)가 파일럿 플랜트， 실험실 테스트 및 환경 보호 프로젝트에 최대 448만 달러를 지원하기로 약정했으며， 이는 후속 금융 조달의 발판이 될 것이라고 밝혔다． 이 이온흡착형 희토류 광산은 2028년 중반부터 생산을 시작할 계획으로， 연간 약 4,000톤의 희토류 산화물을 생산할 예정이며， 이 중 약 1,700톤은 네오디뮴-프라세오디뮴， 디스프로슘， 테르븀 등 자석 재료용 희토류다． 프로젝트 총 투자액은 약 1억 5천만 달러다．
