Good interview by Jack Lifton of Rowena Smith regarding ASM's efforts to reestablish supply chains for #NdFeB magnets for the NAFTA region. It was good to hear about their progress after securing a $600 million loan from US EXIM for their 3,600 tons/year Dubbo Project.

POV: Unless you are looking to produce large magnet blocks, the older Transverse Die Pressing (TDP) technologies will be too labor-intensive to be profitable within the US or EU markets. So, it is crucial that we develop a more advanced near-net-shape production capability that will yield cost advantages over these conventional sintering processes.

The neodymium magnet molds used by our NPLP magnet production system offer downstream producers the possibility of a near-net-shape (#NNS) capability, which promises cost advantages over conventional sintering methods. Our users can now fabricate magnets with complex shapes, reducing the need for additional machining of the resultant magnet blocks.

📌OD6 Metals (ASX: OD6) - Excellent Metallurgical Recoveries Continue at its 100% owned Splinter Rock Project, located in the #Esperance-Goldfields region of WA⛏️✅
📢Brett Hazelden, Managing Director, commented:
“The outstanding results from our metallurgical leaching studies continue to affirm the #SplinterRock project as Australia’s premier clay-hosted rare earth deposit. With consistent recoveries averaging over 60% across multiple prospects, and notably high recoveries observed for each of the fifteen rare earth elements, our confidence in the project’s potential remains high.
The #InsideCentre area within the #CentreProspect continues to shine, boasting dimensions of approximately 2km in length by 1km in width and thicknesses of up to 69 meters. Grades ranging between 1,400ppm to 2,200ppm TREO further underscore the project’s value proposition, complemented by leach recoveries averaging 64%. These metrics align closely with the essential value drivers we believe are crucial for the economic viability of clay-hosted rare earth projects.
Of particular significance is the remarkable performance across all four Magnetic Rare earth elements, (Nd, Pr, Dy, and Tb), indicating a diversified resource base that is not reliant on just one or two elements. This diversification is a key factor for ensuring the economic sustainability of the project and sets Splinter Rock apart as a highly promising venture in the rare earth sector.”
📢Dr Darren Holden, Chair, also commented:
“Two years ago we began the task of positioning OD6 at the forefront of research into geo-metallurgical exploration for Australian clay REE deposits. Our extensive #REE-bearing clay basins span hundreds of square kilometres, providing us with the ability to select basins based on superior grade, thickness and recovery potential. Through ongoing collaborations with CSIRO, Murdoch University and ANSTO, we have made substantial progress in comprehending basin composition, regolith characteristics, REE mineralogy and metallurgical recovery potential.
The board extends its congratulation the OD6 team and our esteemed research partners for achieving this significant milestone in metallurgical understanding. This progress serves as a strong indication that our research and exploration efforts are positioning OD6 as a frontrunner for the future development of clay REE in Australia.”

“The cobalt story is a story of growth overall” – that was the message from our “Cobalt 2050: Unlocking potential for a net-zero future” webinar, where we launched a groundbreaking new study showing that cobalt is indispensable in helping meet net-zero targets by 2050.
If you missed the live stream, you can watch a recording featuring Cobalt Institute Director General Dinah McLeod, report author and Head of Metals and Mining at BloombergNEFKwasi Ampofo, and Jörgen Sandström, Head of the Industrial Transformation Program at the World Economic Forum. In the recording, you’ll learn:
· Why cobalt is part of the solution to reaching net-zero goals by 2050.
· Why the annual demand for cobalt will triple between 2020 and 2050.
· How we can ensure there’s enough capacity to meet the over 60% more cobalt required to meet net-zero targets.

Chinese firms are a crucial part of the global battery supply chain, and excluding them would lead to high costs at a time when cost is the most important factor for battery producers and end-users.
Learn more about the current state of the battery industry in our upcoming "What could it cost for Europe and North America to localise the battery supply chain?" webinar on 11th April at 4:00 pm BST / 10:00 am PST where CRU's experts will explore the following key areas:
- The current state of mining projects globally
- How western companies compete as China continues to 'go global'
- Why understanding costs is necessary if the West is able to catch up
and more! Don't miss out on this insightful event.

Two key takeaways here:
1. If you want the #DRC government to impose export restrictions on #cobalt, one thing you could do is produce 15,000 tons more ore in 9 months than the upper end of your full year guidance; and
2. CMOC's three-year supply agreement with Contemporary Amperex Technology Co., Limited — the world’s top battery-maker and CMOC’s second-biggest shareholder — for copper, cobalt, nickel and lithium implies they are still fully committed to producing high quality batteries using well-established cobalt-based chemistries.
