Globe Metals & Mining has released a barnstorming feasibility study on the proposed development of its Kanyika niobium project in Malawi in south-eastern Africa. The study foreshadows a cracking total EBITDA figure for Kanyika of US$3.74 billion across an initial mine life of 23 years. It follows hot on the heels of the recent formal granting of a mining licence covering the project by the country’s Mines Minister.

ASX-listed Globe Metals & Mining has applied for a novel patent covering its metallurgical technology that could slash operational and capital costs and improve recovery of niobium at its exciting Kanyika niobium project in Malawi. The company recently released jaw-dropping results from a feasibility study on the project where a total EBITDA figure of US$3.74 billion across an initial 23 year mine life was envisaged.

Globe Metals & Mining has appointed a full time Africa-based CEO to develop its Kanyika Project in Malawi, promoting Grant Hudson from General Manager - Corporate Services to run the aspiring niobium and tantalum miner. Long serving managing director Alistair Stephens will become a senior adviser to the Board and Executive Management Team that Globe said would allow for a smooth transfer of responsibilities.

Lindian Resources is gaining momentum as it moves into the development stage of its Kangankunde rare earths project in Malawi following successful meetings with government officials and local stakeholders. Over the past week Lindian management has met with government representatives with the company saying the Malawi Ministry for Mining has confirmed its support for the acquisition and development of the project.

Lindian Resources will this week seek shareholder approval to acquire 100 per cent of Rift Valley Resource Developments Limited, the Malawian company that owns the globally significant Kangankunde rare earths project. The company recently completed a series of meetings with authorities in the Kangankunde district and secured a unilateral directive to commence a series of work programs to advance Kangankunde’s development.

Lindian Resources is set to embark on a 12,500m resource definition drilling program at the company’s brand new Kangankunde rare earths project in Malawi after enlisting a rig to roll in later this month. The drilling is designed to probe the project’s historic resource and an extensive area of surface mineralisation measuring 650m-long by 400m-wide.

The wait is finally over for Lindian Resources as its maiden exploration campaign at the company’s Kangankunde rare earths project in Malawi kicks off marking the first drilling program at the site this century. The explorer has begun phase 1 of its 12,500m resource definition drilling program including 10,000m of RC drilling and a further 2500m of diamond drilling to test mineralisation to a depth of 300m. The 44-hole campaign will include two RC rigs and one diamond drill rig with first assays expected within six to eight weeks.

Lindian Resources is off to a promising start with early samples from its maiden drill program at the Kangankunde rare earths project in Malawi showing continuous visible monazite from surface to current depth. The company says monazite is the rare earths bearing mineral Lindian is targeting at the project and mineralisation is consistent with expectations indicated from surface mapping.

Lindian Resources says its first assays from a maiden drill campaign at the company’s Kangankunde rare earths project in Malawi are due this month with one quarter of its RC and diamond drill program completed. The explorer is currently undertaking phase 1 of its 12,500m resource definition drilling operation including 10,000m of RC drilling and a further 2500m of diamond drilling to test mineralisation to a depth of 300m. The 44-hole campaign includes two RC rigs and one diamond drill rig.

Lindian Resources has received its first assays from the company’s maiden campaign at its Kangankunde project in Malawi showing continuous rare earths mineralisation from surface across the length of both holes. Assay highlights include a 1m section recording an outstanding 11.8 per cent total rare earth oxide, or “TREO” from 13m with a second 1m section going 11.1 per cent TREO from 12m.

Lindian Resources has continued its impressive run of rare earth assay results at the company’s Kangankunde project in Malawi including a massive 300m hit at 2.31 per cent total rare earth oxides from surface. The explorer says all holes completed so far have started and ended in mineralisation with the 300m section including a whopping 124m intersection recording 2.53 per cent TREO from 176m to the end of the hole.

Lindian Resources’ Kangankunde project in Malawi continues to produce incredible assay results from its maiden drill campaign including a 1m hit at an outstanding 9.49 per cent total rare earth oxides from 19m. The explorer says the latest results include the highest grading hole to date at the operation with a mammoth 186m intercept going 2.97 per cent total rare earth oxides from surface.

Lindian Resources has recorded its best drill hit to date after its latest assays confirmed a 35m intercept at a whopping 3.94 per cent total rare earth oxides at its Kangankunde project in Malawi. The impressive section was part of a wider 179m intercept going 2.2 per cent TREO from surface and also included a 4m hit at a massive 7.82 per cent TREO.

Lindian Resources continues to pull impressive assays from its Kangankunde project in Malawi with the latest drill results highlighting a 3m hit at a whopping 15.6 per cent total rare earth oxides (TREO) from 69m. The high-grade intercept is contained within a larger 26m section grading 6.15 per cent TREO from 58m and includes a 1m segment at a head-turning 18.76 per cent TREO from 71m.

Lindian Resources has received positive signs from early phase metallurgical testwork at its Kangankunde project in Malawi with results showing concentrate grades of around 60 per cent rare earth oxides. The company says the test results show that water-only, low-cost gravity and magnetic beneficiation techniques are suitable for the mineralisation found at the operation.

Lindian Resources has tabled some of its best assays from drilling at its Kangankunde project in Malawi, with results going up to 13.89 per cent TREO. The company says the average grade of the rare earths critical metal elements, neodymium and praseodymium, was 20 per cent TREO. Three holes went more than 3 per cent TREO across intersections running 150m or more from surface.

Lindian Resources continues to deliver extraordinary results from its drill campaign at its Kangankunde rare earths project in Malawi, with assays reading up to a massive 14.9 per cent total rare earth oxides (TREO). The impressive grade was recorded in a 1m section from 79m that formed part of a bigger 85m hit at 3.35 per cent TREO from surface.

Lindian Resources says the second phase of its depth-extension drill program at its promising Kangankunde rare earths project in Malawi is on track – and it has whetted the appetite of investors by flagging the return next week of more assay results from its phase-one work. The critical minerals company expects to release a maiden mineral resource estimate by the end of next month.

WA-based mineral explorer Lindian Resources has released the highest assay grades to date from its Kangankunde rare earths project in Malawi, with headline figures including 293.4m at 3.66 per cent TREO from 4m to end of hole. The company says the “spectacular” results mean Kangankunde is emerging “as one of the world’s greatest rare earths assets”.

Lindian Resources says it has made significant progress on the optimum design for its processing plant at the company’s Kangankunde rare earths project in Malawi, while the mine design and planning are being scoped. The stage-one plant is based on processing an initial throughput of 220,000 tonnes of material per annum to produce a monazite concentrate before expanding to 440,000 tonnes a year.

Lindian Resources’ big punt that its rare earths deposit in Malawi could extend well below the existing 300m might just pay off after a second 1000m hole showed signs of potential mineralisation all the way down. The monster intersection will now be assessed by a wave of assays and the company will soon deliver its highly-anticipated maiden mineral resource estimate to the market.

Lindian Resources expects to reveal a maiden rare earths mineral resource for its emerging Kangankunde project in Malawi in just a fortnight, on the back of what it says are some world-leading numbers. The company’s latest drilling results include a standout 58m hit going 4.5 per cent total rare earth oxides (TREO) from just 2m, including 29.2m at 6.6 per cent TREO from 6m.

Lindian Resources has hailed its Kangankunde rare earths project in Malawi as “one of the greatest in the world” after recording a massive 853.6m hit at 2.73 per cent TREO from 52m. Two deep diamond drillholes were sunk to 980m and one returned 156m at 3.61 per cent TREO from 124m and a 56m hit grading 3.83 per cent TREO from 289.1m.

ANSTO confirmation that mineral concentrates from Lindian Resources’ Kangankunde rare earths project in Malawi are non-radioactive has delivered simpler logistics and transport options and enhanced offtake opportunities. The company has also produced concentrate grades of up to 66 per cent total rare earth oxides (TREO) from ore at the Malawi operation, by beneficiation using gravity and magnetic separation techniques.

Lindian Resources has unveiled an eye-watering 1000m intersect grading 2.6 per cent total rare earth oxides (TREO) from a depth extension drilling program at its Kangankunde rare earths project in Malawi. It says the assays extend mineralisation about 700m vertically below the base of the existing inferred mineral resource estimate of 261 million tonnes at 2.19 per cent TREO. Mineralisation remains open in all directions.

Lindian Resources has launched a 4000m mine development drilling program at its Kangankunde rare earths project in Malawi in a bid to upgrade about 20 million tonnes of its inferred resource to higher categories before finalising its stage-one pit outline. The company says the campaign is one of the key steps in its transition to production.

Lindian Resources has unveiled a massive exploration target for its Kangankunde rare earths project in Malawi, with the upper echelon of the figure more than three times its already-significant mineral resource. The company recently revealed its maiden mineral resource estimate for Kangankunde, outlining 261 million tonnes at an impressive grade of 2.19 per cent total rare earth oxides (TREO).

Lindian Resources has officially wrapped up its 4000m mine development drilling at its Kangankunde rare earths project in Malawi as it aims to define its resource at the operation into the indicated category. Assay results are expected to arrive in early December with a 400m geotechnical drill campaign to assess rock mechanics and ground stability set to start and finish next month.

Lindian Resources is assessing a low-cost trial mining campaign planned for early next year at its Kangankunde rare earths project in Malawi, while a process plant tender package is also being finalised. Mined material will be stockpiled, with the results of the trial set to be used to assess drill and blast fragmentation requirements, in addition to material handling productivity.

Lindian Resources has revealed high-grade rare earths running up to 7.15 per cent TREO at its enormous Kangankunde project in the African country of Malawi following a geological mapping and sampling campaign. The company says its most recent work shows that outcropping carbonatite prospects both north and south of the project are highly mineralised with rare earths.

Lindian Resources has delivered more shallow and high-grade hits from drilling at its Kangankunde rare earths project in Malawi, including a monster 19m section at 3.77 per cent total rare earth oxides from surface. The company recently completed its third-phase infill campaign at the operation, aiming to define a significant portion of its inferred mineral resource into an indicated category.

Lindian Resources is fully permitted to begin the construction, mining and mineral processing steps at its massive Kangankunde rare earths project in Malawi after receiving a permit to extract ground water at the site. The giant African operation currently holds 261 million tonnes at an impressive grade of 2.19 per cent total rare earth oxides, including 5.7 million tonnes of contained TREO in the inferred category.

Lindian Resources has rolled out another round of dazzling wide, high-grade rare earth hits at its giant Kangankunde rare earths project in Malawi with a resource upgrade due by the end of the month. The African operation already hosts a massive 261 million tonnes at an impressive grade of 2.19 per cent total rare earth oxides, including 5.7 million tonnes of contained TREO in the inferred category.

A successful Lindian Resources infill drill campaign has underpinned an indicated resource boost of 61 million tonnes at 2.43 per cent total rare earth oxides (TREO) at the company’s giant Kangankunde project in Malawi.
