Jupiter Rare Earths Project Beneficiation Upgrade

under development

Critica Limited has achieved a significant upgrade in its rare earths feed material at the Jupiter project in Western Australia's Mid West through pilot beneficiation work conducted in Vietnam. The pilot plant upgraded the feed material by a factor of fourteen, producing an intermediate concentrate grading 3% total rare earth oxides (TREO), rejecting 95% of the original feed mass and concentrating rare earth minerals into just 5% of the mass. This beneficiation step is part of a broader processing chain involving downstream hydrometallurgical and product testwork in Australia, aiming to reduce processing scale and costs and improve project economics.
