AustraliaBarkly Rare Earths has submitted its first batch of samples from a 10,000-meter resource expansion drill campaign to a laboratory, marking a key phase in its efforts to increase its rare earths inventory at its Barkly project in the Northern Territory. The samples aim to assess shallow mineralization surrounding an existing 40-million-tonne inferred resource with a grade of 2100 ppm total rare earth oxides (TREO). The company's strategy involves drilling deeper holes initially and then focusing on a 20-kilometer corridor known as the Immediate Zone, where shallow holes will be tested. Initial test results show low levels of uranium and thorium, and leaching tests achieved a 74% extraction rate for magnet rare earths. The project's appeal lies in its potential scale and the high concentration of valuable magnet rare earth oxides, which make up 34% of the resource.
