About Australian Rare Earths
Australian Rare Earths Limited (ASX:AR3) is an Adelaide, Australia-based rare-earth exploration and development company advancing one of Australia’s most significant ionic-clay rare-earth opportunities. Its 100%-owned flagship Koppamurra Project spans approximately 7,400 square kilometres across south-eastern South Australia and western Victoria, hosting clay-hosted deposits enriched in the high-value magnet and heavy rare earth elements neodymium, praseodymium, dysprosium and terbium used in permanent magnets for electric vehicles and wind turbines. A pre-feasibility study confirmed strong project economics, and the company has reported substantial mineral-resource growth at Koppamurra. In 2026 Australian Rare Earths commenced pilot operations producing mixed rare-earth oxide to de-risk its flowsheet and support feasibility work. The micro-cap explorer also holds uranium interests and aims to establish a low-cost, low-impact domestic source of rare earths for the clean-energy supply chain.
