Commercialisat ion – Low Capit al St rat egy
• Rare Earth mineralogy dominated by monazite – the most
well-understood Rare Earth Mineral from a processing
perspective
• RareX consulting metallurgist Mr Gavin Beer to lead
metallurgical testwork on completion of final assays
• Strategy is to produce a saleable monazite concentrate to
sell to new Australian refineries and existing capacity in SE
Asia and China
• This approach will significantly reduce CAPEX
RareX has a low CAPEX development st rat egy for
Cummins Range, based on product ion of a monazit e
concent rat e
Proposed Aust ralian Refineries
