[SMM Rare Earths Flash] Rare Earths Americas (REA) announced that drilling at the Liberty Peak target in the Foothills rare earth district, Georgia, US, has intersected monazite-bearing placer mineralization with characteristics similar to the Shiloh project 50 km away, indicating the mineralized zone may be continuous rather than a single deposit. REA noted that previous drilling and surface sampling at the Shiloh project returned total rare earth oxide (TREO) grades of up to 44.5%, and the company believes the placer system may extend to Liberty Peak and multiple surrounding targets, expanding the Foothills rare earth mineralized area to 17.5 times that of the Shiloh target. Initial drilling at Liberty Peak intersected mineralization over 10 meters thick, with several holes yet to penetrate the orebody.
