A planned £250 million rare-earth refinery near Hull by London-listed miner Pensana, designed to process ore from the Longonjo mine in Angola, was abandoned. The facility will instead be built in the United States due to more competitive incentives offered there. The refinery was part of the UK's critical minerals strategy and was expected to create 126 skilled jobs at the Saltend chemicals park.
