China Southern Rare Earth Group announced its latest listing prices for medium and heavy rare earth oxides. Prices of gadolinium oxide increased 3,000 yuan/mt to 176,000 yuan/mt, holmium oxide rose 60,000 yuan/mt to 505,000 yuan/mt, while terbium oxide prices soared 500,000 yuan/mt to 5.8 million yuan/mt.

SHANGHAI, Nov 25 (SMM)—China Southern Rare Earth Group announced its latest listing prices for medium and heavy rare earth oxides. Prices of gadolinium oxide increased 3,000 yuan/mt to 176,000 yuan/mt, holmium oxide rose 60,000 yuan/mt to 505,000 yuan/mt, while terbium oxide prices soared 500,000 yuan/mt to 5.8 million yuan/mt.

Prices of many rare earth products increased last week on tight supply. Both offers and actual traded prices of praseodymium-neodymium oxide and neodymium oxide climbed last week on tight supply and firm demand. Meanwhile, rising raw materials costs and shortage of spot cargoes also boosted prices of metal praseodymium-neodymium and metal neodymium.

Prices of terbium oxide, dysprosium oxide and holmium oxide remained firm last week, but trades were moderate as most of the downstream users were cautious about restocking.

SMM expects prices of some rare earth products to rise further in the near term due to limited supply of spot cargoes and demand from downstream magnetic materials producers who held certain orders and kept low inventories.

Brazilian Rare Earths Discovers High-Grade Intercepts at Monte Alto, Plans Further Drilling

【SMM Rare Earth Flash】 Brazilian Rare Earths has identified multiple high-grade intercepts in the south and east extensions of its Monte Alto deposit, including 8 meters at 21.8% TREO from 189 meters depth, and 6.2 meters at 25.4% TREO from 162 meters depth. The company has prioritized the northern area as a key exploration target, planning 1,400 meters of drilling there and a total of 5,000 meters across the north, south, and east to further delineate the deposit. Assays returned up to 6.664% PrNd oxide, 0.2853% Dy oxide, 1.0986% Nb oxide, and 0.4443% U oxide, confirming significant enrichment of rare earths and associated minerals. These results are not yet included in the current resource estimate and PEA, with a resource update targeted by year-end. The company noted that the deposit remains open to the north, south, east, and at depth. The Rocha project's PEA earlier this year outlined a post-tax NPV of approximately US$7.9 billion.
