Brazilian Rare Earths CEO Returns to Rare Earth Exchanges - Monte Alto Moves From Discovery to Development

Highlights

• Monte Alto's rare earth grade is more than twice MP Materials' Mountain Pass and nearly three times Lynas Rare Earths' published grade
• Natural radiation-altered ore may allow BRE to skip intensive mineral-cracking, using milder acid-curing and leaching instead
• BRE targets concentrate production in 2030 and separated oxides in 2031, with a pilot plant commissioning underway
• The project could yield roughly one million pounds of uranium yellowcake annually, plus scandium, niobium, tantalum and titanium upside not yet in the scoping study
• BRE's strategy separates mining at Monte Alto from downstream separation at the established Camaçari industrial complex
