Canada firm Lomiko Metals Inc. has revealed new, high-grade results from its exploration program at the Yellow Fox Antimony property, pointing to a significant new rare earth element (REE) discovery. The findings come from a follow-up analysis of soil samples collected earlier this year. Initial soil sampling had already identified strong anomalies of the rare […]
In a strategic push to secure its future in critical minerals, Chile’s government is funneling millions into cutting-edge research. The state development agency, Corfo, has announced grants totaling up to $5.8 million for two pioneering projects aimed at revolutionizing how the country extracts lithium and recovers valuable metals from old mining waste. The first initiative, […]
Joseph Cotruvo, Jr.’s quest to understand how living cells handle metals started with a simple scientific question. But along the way, his work has led to something much bigger: breakthrough techniques for purifying and detecting rare earth elements, advances that hold promise for U.S. supply security and environmental cleanup. The journey began in the lab […]
CAT Strategic Metals Corporation has taken a major step toward securing a significant new source of critical minerals, announcing a binding agreement to gain majority control of a promising rare earth exploration project in Quebec, Canada. The company confirmed on January 12, 2026, that it has entered into a Binding Memorandum of Understanding with several […]
The electric vehicle boom has unleashed a wave of innovation across the industry. We’ve seen batteries evolve at a dizzying rate, charging speeds become blisteringly fast, and motors deliver more power from smaller packages than we once thought possible. Yet, that last piece of the puzzle, the electric motor, faces a growing dilemma. While today’s […]
The Association of Mining and Exploration Companies (AMEC) has put forward a comprehensive new proposal aimed at establishing a robust rare earths production framework for Australia. The detailed scheme, outlined in a policy paper released this week, calls for a coordinated national strategy. It emphasizes the development of integrated processing capabilities, moving beyond simply mining […]
Tsodilo Resources Limited has confirmed the presence of significant rare earth and critical minerals mineralisation at its 100%-owned Gcwihaba Metals Project in northwest Botswana, following the verification of skarn-hosted deposits at two priority targets identified through geophysical surveys. The C26 and C27 targets were first outlined as magnetic and gravity anomalies and subsequently tested through […]
Critical Metals Corp. has placed an order for a fully turnkey, integrated mobile geochemical analysis centre valued at about $1 million, marking a significant upgrade to the company’s technical capabilities as it advances its flagship Tanbreez rare earth elements project in Greenland. The Nasdaq-listed miner said the mobile laboratory has been commissioned from Bromet, a […]
Greenland, the world’s largest island, has increasingly found itself at the centre of global debate over critical minerals, supply chain security and Arctic geopolitics, even though large-scale mining on the territory remains limited. Geological surveys show Greenland hosts a wide range of minerals deemed essential for modern economies, including rare earth elements, graphite, zinc, gold […]
Australia’s rare earth industry is moving steadily into the global spotlight as governments and manufacturers accelerate efforts to reduce dependence on China for critical minerals, particularly heavy rare earths vital to defence systems, electric vehicles, renewable energy infrastructure and advanced manufacturing. That shift has gained urgency after China announced fresh export controls targeting Japan, with […]
