How do I sell my rare earth mining project?
Sell your rare earth project through Mine Market in 3 steps: 1) Enter your tenement ID to auto-populate registry data, 2) Set your asking price and upload geological reports, REE assay results, and metallurgical studies to your NDA-protected data room, 3) Publish your listing and receive inquiries from verified critical minerals buyers within 24 hours.
How much is my rare earth tenement worth?
Grassroots exploration: $100-1,000/ha. Drill-ready targets: $1,000-15,000/ha. Defined resources: valued by contained REO tonnes, with HREE (dysprosium, terbium) commanding 5-10x premiums over LREE. Projects with favorable HREE ratios and proven metallurgy attract highest valuations.
Who buys rare earth mining projects?
REE buyers include government-backed critical minerals funds, defence supply chain investors, EV and wind turbine manufacturers seeking permanent magnet supply, established producers like Lynas, specialty chemical companies, and sovereign wealth funds diversifying from Chinese REE dependence. Western-source projects attract significant strategic interest.
What is the difference between heavy and light rare earths?
LREE (cerium, lanthanum, neodymium, praseodymium): used in catalysts, glass, and permanent magnets. HREE (dysprosium, terbium, europium, yttrium): critical for high-temp magnets, electronics, and defense. HREE are scarcer, more valuable, and China controls 90%+ of supply, making Western HREE projects strategically important.
Why are rare earth projects considered critical minerals?
REE are critical because: 1) Essential for clean energy, defense, and electronics, 2) China controls 60%+ mining and 90% processing, 3) Limited Western production. Government incentives including Australia's $2B Critical Minerals Facility and US/EU programs are driving demand for non-Chinese REE.
What government support is available for rare earth projects?
Australian support includes: Critical Minerals Facility ($2B in loans), NAIF for northern projects, Modern Manufacturing Initiative, and Export Finance Australia. US, EU, Japan, and Korea also offer incentives for non-Chinese REE supply, improving project bankability.
What documents do I need to sell my rare earth project?
Essential documents: tenement schedule, drilling results with full REE assay suite (all 17 elements), geological reports, mineralogical studies, metallurgical test results, resource estimates if available, Native Title status, and environmental data. REE buyers require detailed metallurgy due to complex processing.
Where are the best rare earth regions in Australia?
Key regions: WA (Mount Weld LREE, Browns Range HREE), NT (Nolans LREE-phosphate, Charley Creek ionic clay), QLD (emerging ionic clay REE), SA (Olympic Dam copper-REE). WA and NT host the most advanced projects and attract strongest buyer interest.
