Yangibana Rare Earth Processing Partnership

planned

A trilateral partnership between Hastings Technology Metals, Wyloo Gascoyne, and Canadian company Ucore Rare Metals to process Australian rare earth concentrates in North American facilities. The project involves processing up to 37,000 tonnes annually of rare earth concentrate from the Yangibana operations to a hydrometallurgy facility in Louisiana, producing mixed rare earth carbonate as an intermediate product. This partnership restructures ownership, eliminates debt, and aligns with bilateral government critical minerals initiatives.
