Lindian Resources says its Kangankunde rare earths project in Malawi continues to progress toward first production by late 2026. Multiple outlets report that on-site work is ramping up, including mining activity and construction of processing facilities. The company indicates it is fully funded for the project, and that development milestones are moving forward as planned.
One report notes that a major mining blast is scheduled and that first ore delivery is expected to reach the ROM (run-of-mine) pad the following month, signaling further progress in mine operations. Across the sources, the timeline emphasis is on maintaining readiness for first rare earths production by late 2026 rather than changing the overall schedule.
Taken together, the reporting describes an active construction and commissioning phase at Kangankunde, supported by company statements about funding status and near-term operational steps at the mine site. The coverage does not provide further detail on any regulatory decisions, market impacts, or changes to project scope.
