Red Metal (ASX:RDM) has announced a maiden Mineral Resource Estimate for its Sybella Rare Earth Oxide project. The estimate highlights the project's potential with a significant presence of high-value magnet rare earth oxides. Located near Mt Isa, Australia, the resource is classified as Inferred under the JORC 2012 code.
Red Metal's announcement of a maiden Mineral Resource Estimate for the Sybella project marks a significant milestone. The resource is characterized by substantial tonnage and valuable magnet rare earth oxide content, such as NdPr and DyTb. The proximity to Mt Isa offers infrastructure benefits, and early metallurgical tests suggest high extraction rates with low acid use. The company plans to focus on mining studies, potential funding options, and further drilling to enhance resource classification. The strategic importance of Sybella lies in its potential as a long-term, scalable operation, contributing to the global supply of rare earth minerals.
The Sybella discovery represents a unique opportunity for Red Metal. Its granite-hosted deposit offers excellent leaching characteristics and strategic advantages due to its proximity to Mt Isa. We are excited about its potential to become a major supplier of magnet rare earth oxides.
