Episode Details

Lindian Resources just unlocked a major milestone for its Kangankunde rare earths project in Malawi, with ANSTO confirming their downstream processing plan works flawlessly—extracting 98% of critical neodymium-praseodymium for high-performance magnets. The validated process, using sulfuric acid leaching and impurity removal, also meets international safety standards for transport and handling. Efficiency is stellar: 96% recovery of total rare earths and yttrium, with just 1.1% impurity loss. ANSTO’s acid bake test revealed high rare earth concentrations, hinting at future cost and resource savings. This proven method is ready to scale at their Kazakhstan facility, while mining at Kangankunde is already underway—with power lines in place and ore stockpiled—targeting first production by Q4 2026.
