In terms of light rare earth, the PrNd market was stable today. The upstream and downstream of rare earth industry saw little change and the cost ans supply provided certain support for the market amid the poor demand. The price of PrNd products but the overall market transaction was poor. In terms of medium and heavy rare earth, the prices of dysprosium oxide and terbium oxide declined slightly while the downstream procurement willingness was low and mostly purchased as needed amid the wait-and-see sentiment.

SHANGHAI, June 14 (SMM)- In terms of light rare earth, the PrNd market was stable today. The upstream and downstream of rare earth industry saw little change and the cost ans supply provided certain support for the market amid the poor demand. The price of PrNd products but the overall market transaction was poor. In terms of medium and heavy rare earth, the prices of dysprosium oxide and terbium oxide declined slightly while the downstream procurement willingness was low and mostly purchased as needed amid the wait-and-see sentiment. The mainstream transaction prices of praseodymium-neodymium oxide market stabled at 960,000-965,000 yuan/mt today, and the mainstream transaction prices of praseodymium-neodymium alloy market stabled at 1.16-1.17 million yuan/mt. The mainstream transaction prices of dysprosium oxide stabilized at 2.52-2.56 million yuan/mt today, the mainstream quotation of dysprosium metal stood at 3.45-3.5 million yuan/mt, and the mainstream transaction prices of DyFe stood at 2.52-2.56 million yuan/mt today. The mainstream transaction prices of terbium oxide was 14.4-14.5 million yuan/mt today, and the mainstream transaction prices of terbium metal stabled at 18.4-18.5 million yuan/mt today. The mainstream transaction prices of gadolinium oxide stood at 550,000-560,000 yuan/mt, and the mainstream transaction prices of GdFe were 510,000-520,000 yuan/mt,.

Pensana Advances $250M Angola Rare Earth Mine, Targets 2027 Production and Major Heavy Rare Earth Output

[SMM Rare Earth Flash] London-listed Pensana announced that construction of the Longonjo rare earth mine in Angola is progressing as planned, with a total investment of $250 million, targeting first commissioning and production of mixed rare earth carbonate (MREC) in 2027. The mine has a life of 20 years, with an initial annual output of 20,000 mt, expanding to 40,000 mt in the fourth year. The company is optimizing the heavy rare earth recovery circuit, targeting annual production of dysprosium and terbium exceeding 122 mt, and is expected to become one of the largest heavy rare earth producers in the Western world. Pensana has signed a non-binding memorandum of understanding with Toyota Tsusho for the potential off-take of up to 20,000 mt of mixed rare earth carbonate per year for five years. The project is also supported by offtake framework agreements with multiple partners.

Aldoro Resources Reports Positive Hydrometallurgical Test Results at Kameelburg Rare Earth Deposit

[SMM Rare Earths Briefing] Aldoro Resources announced that the hydrometallurgical tests on its Kameelburg rare earth–strontium–niobium deposit in Namibia have yielded positive results. Using a direct acid leaching process at ambient temperature and pressure, the strontium extraction rate exceeded 99%, and the rare earth recovery rate reached 72%, without requiring crushing, roasting, or solvent extraction, significantly reducing development costs. Meanwhile, drilling has discovered high-grade niobium mineralization at the margin of the carbonatite, with an intersection of 170 meters showing total rare earth oxide grade of 0.81%, strontium at 3.21%, and niobium at 0.43%. The company stated that this process substantially lowers project risk and confirms Kameelburg as one of the most important undeveloped rare earth–strontium deposits globally.
