Aldoro Resources reported that hydrometallurgical testing of the Kameelburg niobium and rare earth deposit in Namibia yielded encouraging results, with a simple process but relatively high recoveries of rare earths and strontium, while drilling also intersected high-grade niobium ore. Tests commissioned by the company and conducted by ALS Metallurgy Services in Western Australia showed that Kameelburg can be treated using a direct acid leaching method, eliminating the need for flotation or magnetic separation processes used at MP Materials' Mountain Pass operation in the US and Lynas Rare Earth's Mt Weld rare earth mine in Western Australia. The hydrochloric acid leaching process can be carried out at ambient temperature and pressure, and if scaled up, is expected to significantly reduce development costs.
