Energy Fuels, a US company, has obtained the final major regulatory approvals required to construct and operate the Donald rare earth and mineral sands project in Victoria, Australia. This approval clears the way for a final investment decision (FID) later this year. The Victorian government has approved the work plan for the joint venture between Energy Fuels and Australia's Astron Corporation. Energy Fuels plans to import rare earth concentrate from the Donald project into the US for processing at its White Mesa facility in Utah. The facility is expected to produce separated rare earth oxides, such as neodymium-praseodymium (NdPr), terbium, dysprosium, and samarium, and plans to increase capacity in a Phase 2 expansion.
