【SMM Rare Earth Flash】 Axel REE has updated resources at its Caladao project in Brazil. The Woolrich ionic clay deposit grew 107% to 265 Mt at 0.1101% TREO and 0.00347% Ga₂O₃, including 110 Mt Indicated at 0.1073% TREO. Total Caladao resources rose 24% to 709 Mt at 0.1443% TREO, while gallium resources increased 31% to 580 Mt at 0.00371% Ga₂O₃, one of the world's largest gallium deposits. Column leach tests using warm magnesium sulfate improved recoveries while maintaining a 39% magnet REO ratio. The company plans in-situ recovery (ISR) field trials, positioning itself as a pioneer of low-impact ISR in Minas Gerais.
