经坦桑尼亚矿业部长和国家矿业委员会的批准,将在近期授予总部位于珀斯的匹克资源的恩格拉(Ngualla)稀土项目以特殊采矿许可证。
该公司称官员代表和国家矿业委员会的专家早在四天前对恩格拉进行了现场评估,该项目位于东非裂谷边缘,距离姆贝亚市(Mbeya)147公里。
在这次现场考察中,匹克资源向官员代表和专家展示了许可证区域和勘探营地,并主持了一场与当地社区的会议。
该公司表示:“此次访问对许可证的发放起到了积极的推动作用,官员代表对会议答疑的公开性和透明性也感到满意。”
恩格拉是世界上最大的且品位最高的待开发的镨钕稀土项目之一。
匹克资源计划每年从坦桑尼亚出口32,700吨含45%氧化物的稀土精矿到英国其价值1亿6500万美元的Tees Valley分离厂。
Perth-based Peak Resources (ASX: PEK) has received confirmation from Tanzania’s Minister for Minerals and the country’s Mining Commission that a Special Mining Licence (SML) application for its wholly-owned Ngualla rare earth element (REE) project will be granted in the near future.
The company said a delegation of officials and experts from the country’s Mining Commission spent four days earlier this month evaluating Ngualla onsite, with the project located 147 kilometres from the city of Mbeya on the edge of the East African Rift Valley.
The site visit gave Peak the opportunity to showcase the licence area and exploration camp, and host meetings with the local community.“The visit was a positive move towards the issuing of the SML [and] the delegation left satisfied that their queries had been answered in an open and transparent manner,” the company said.
Ngualla is one of the world’s largest and highest-grade undeveloped neodymium and praseodymium REE projects.
Peak is planning to export approximately 32,700t per annum of REE concentrate grading 45% REO from Tanzania to a $165 million refinery in the UK’s Tees Valley.
