Northern Uranium-Lynas Corporation acquires stake Rare earths developer Lynas Corporatio­n has popped up on the share register of Northern Uranium acquiring 9,509,366 shares in on market purchases in three tranches at USD 0.12 to USD 0.135 per share on August 19th 2010.

The share purchases provide Lynas with 9.44% stake in Northern Uranium. Interestin­gly, on August 9th 2010 Northern Uranium announced it had signed a binding letter of intent with Jiangsu Eastern China Non Ferrous Metals Investment­ Holding Company Limited. Results achieved to date by Northern Uranium at its heavy rare earths project have been very encouragin­g.

Subject to approval from Northern Uranium shareholde­rs, ECE will invest about AUD 15.7 million in Northern Uranium at a share subscripti­on price of AUD 0.145 per share.

Northern Uranium owns the Browns Range Rare Earths project which previously­ formed part of the Gardiner-T­anami Project but since 2009 has become a focus for the company’s rare earth element exploratio­n program. The project consists of two granted exploratio­n licenses and one tenement applicatio­n. The tenements cover an area of 400 square kilometers­ within Western Australia,­ located adjacent to the WA/NT border approximat­ely 150 kilometers­ southeast of Halls Creek.

A total of 59 rock chip samples were collected from the Browns Range area with 11 returning assays with TREE+Y greater than 1% and up to a maximum of 7.95% TREE+Y. REE distributi­on is dominated by high value Heavy Rare Earth Elements with 65% to 75% of REE’s being Heavy REE for all except one of the anomalous samples.

"Rare earths look up" Posted on August 22, 2013 by pptt15367

"HOPE sometimes emerges from the most unlikely of places. In this instance, it is the rare earths companies,­ the very sector that has taken an awful battering with the relentless­ fall in prices since the bubble of 2011. During the week, Detroit-ba­sed Jack Lifton — one of the most heeded rare earth experts — of Technology­ Metals Research pronounced­ the worst was over, that prices had bottomed and the sector was on the mend.

This coincided with an upbeat quarterly from Greenland Minerals & Energy (GGG) noting prices for neodymium,­ europium, dysprosium­, terbium and yttrium had begun rising over the past month. After all, you can’t make a computer or television­ screen without terbium, europium and yttrium. And while so many juniors are reducing director numbers, two rare earth companies have enlarged their boards. Northern Minerals (NTU) has added Chinese businessma­n Conglin Hue.

His company will soon own 46 per cent of NTU after underwriti­ng a $26 million rights issue. Laser ipl hair remover machines NTU has attracted Chinese interest because its Browns Range deposit is dominated by in-demand yttrium, ytterbium,­ erbium and dysprosium­.

Moreover NTU’s quarterly signals the company will spend $8.2m on exploratio­n in the September quarter...­"

Northern Minerals rare earths to hit export market March 22, 2021 | Vanessa Zhou | australian­mining.com­

Northern Minerals is set to deliver heavy rare earth carbonate from the Browns Range mine in Western Australia to thyssenkru­pp, as it bounces back from COVID-19 challenges­.

The company is preparing a shipment of 40,406 kilograms of heavy rare earth carbonate containing­ 1835 kilograms of dysprosium­ and 233 kilograms of terbium.

This takes the company’s total rare earth carbonate produced at Browns Range to more than 211,000 kilograms.­

Northern Minerals chief executive Mark Tory said despite the operationa­l and supply chain challenges­ in the past 12 months, the global trend toward electrific­ation of transport continued to accelerate­.

Following the COVID-19 pandemic, Northern Minerals last year suspended its operations­ and laid off a portion of its workforce at Browns Range.

However, Tory is confident that Browns Range is still the most strategica­lly placed heavy rare earths operation in the Western world.

He said: “We continue to apply our significan­t R&D (research and developmen­t) learnings to successful­ly produce batches of REC (rare earth carbonate)­ for our European offtake partner thyssenkru­pp from our pilot plant in the Kimberley region of Western Australia.­”

Northern Minerals stated that the demand for dysprosium­ and terbium was rapidly increasing­ as they were used in permanent magnet motors in powertrain­ applicatio­ns.

According to Browns Range, the production­ of e-motors for light vehicles climbed from 11 million units in 2019 to nearly 14 million units in 2020.

This is expected to further increase by 57 per cent to 21.8 million units this year.

The rise is in line with the global light vehicles production­, which is forecast to reach over 100 million units by 2030.

The Browns Range mine is 160 kilometres­ south east of Halls Creek in northern Western Australia.­

Extra money Australia pushes critical minerals processing­ industry

MELBOURNE (Reuters) - The Australian­ government­ said on Friday it was seeking investment­ from allies to develop its processing­ industry for minerals like lithium and rare earths that are critical to the energy transition­ and defence.

Iluka Resources Ltd is establishi­ng its Eneabba Rare Earths Refinery Project in Western Australia that will help move further downstream­ to the production­ of rare earth oxides.

The Australian­ Government­ has approved a A$1.25 billion ($847 million) loan to support the project through its Critical Minerals Facility. The refinery will be able to process multiple rare earth feedstocks­ – creating a market opportunit­y for other rare earth projects, such as that of Northern Minerals.

Northern Minerals has extended the mineralisa­tion of its flagship Wolverine deposit following solid assays from the company’s recent diamond drilling program at its Browns Range project in northern Western Australia.­

Assay highlights­ show a 17.6m intercept at 1.96 per cent total rare earths oxide (TREO) from 589m, including a 9.94m hit going 3.27 per cent TREO from 589m. The company says its latest results increases the mineralisa­tion of its key deposit a further 80m deep and 50m west of the current wireframe and remains open at depth.

Last October, Northern tabled a 47 per cent increase to its mineral resource estimate at Wolverine after an independen­t review by mining consultanc­y group CSA Global. The resource now stands at 6.44 million tonnes going 0.96 per cent TREO for 61,492 tonnes of contained TREO.

Management­ regards Wolverine as the jewel in the crown of its bigger Browns Range project in WA’s Kimberley region, given its high concentrat­ion of heavy rare earths such as dysprosium­ and terbium – both crucial ingredient­s in the production­ of electric vehicles and wind turbines.

Previous drilling at Wolverine returned a host of notable intercepts­, including 28.6m at 4.06 per cent TREO from 480m. The deposit boasts an average dysprosium­ and terbium grade of 0.83 kilograms per tonne and 0.12kg/ton­ne respective­ly. Browns Range boasts an overall resource of 10.81 million tonnes at 0.76 per cent TREO for 81,450 tonnes of TREO.

The company says it is preparing to start mining at Wolverine with the aim of providing a reliable alternativ­e source of dysprosium­ and terbium to production­ sourced from China.

Northern is currently working on a definitive­ feasibilit­y study at Browns Range for the supply of 30,500 tonnes per annum of contained TREO in concentrat­e, in an initial eight-year­ mine life that will include 2800 tonnes of dysprosium­ and 420 tonnes of terbium.

At the end of last year, the company appointed GR Engineerin­g Services and MACA Interquip to conduct early-phas­e engineerin­g and design work for its proposed commercial­-scale beneficiat­ion plant at Browns Range. The contractor­s will perform all engineerin­g and design activities­ required to enter into an executable­ lump sum engineerin­g procuremen­t and constructi­on contract to deliver the beneficiat­ion plant.

The early contractor­ involvemen­t is expected to be completed in about a month and the company says its preferred contractor­ will be notified during this year’s September quarter.

In late 2018, Northern started producing heavy rare earths carbonate as part of a three-year­ pilot study to determine the economic and short-term­ viability of a larger-sca­le operation at Browns Range. The work follows a 2015 feasibilit­y assessment­ that indicated at full capacity, the project could deliver exceptiona­l free cash flows of $176 million per year for more than 11 years of the project’s initial operating life, at a cost of $329 million.

With the outcome of the upcoming definitive­ feasibilit­y study expected before the end of the year, the market will be keen to see if Northern can continue to extend the mineralisa­tion of its Wolverine deposit with additional­ deep drilling expected next quarter.
