Ann: 17.65% Niobium & Exceptional REE Results from In-Situ Source, page-109

Interesting results here but i cant help but favour SUM as the best niobium play on the ASX at circa $18m market capitalization

If you compare the rock chip samples from the RR1 announcement today to the rock chip samples from SUM, i see a huge difference

RR1 SAMPLE:


SUM (comparison)




Other key differences:

SUM projects are located in Brazil, the country which has the most niobium in the world. Brazil is also a friendly mining jurisdiction with low costs which is good for economics

They confirmed 1.2km worth of strike. Huge ground that has mineralisation on surface wide apart. That will likely increase as there are futher samples pending assays

They confirmed multiple new potential pegmatites

They confirmed multiple artisanal mines (historical local mining at surface with chisels and shovels). They will be the first to drill this land to find out what's below. The minerals are clearly visible outcropping everywhere

All for circa $18m market cap
