Critica says it has produced a second high-grade rare earths carbonate product at its Jupiter project in Western Australia, repeating what it describes as a 58% total rare earths (TREO) result. The company characterises the material as a carbonate concentrate that is relevant to markets for magnets and other heavy rare earth uses.
Outlets report that the repeat production also increases confidence in the consistency of the company’s process. The Brisbane Times, Sydney Morning Herald, and The Age all highlight that the result includes magnet and heavy rare earth content and that it helps de-risk or validate the project’s flowsheet. The West Australian similarly focuses on the repeatability of the carbonate product quality, noting that the company has now demonstrated the outcome more than once.
