Ann: New REE Mineralised Ironstones & Carbonatites at Lyons, page-19

All I see from this announcement is discussion of carbonatite target, but no declaration of finding a carbonatite lithology. Talk of the mineralogy typical of carbonatites, but not a single core photo showing it. Results awaited.

TREO grades in line with what one could reasonably expect from a granite (consider, eg, CRS at Mukinbudin got 0.5% TREO from a granite), with 1% P2O5. No breakdown of TREO composition, not even a hint of what percentage MREO it is.

Likely to be an apatite granite IMO, with fluorapatite containing nothing more than Ce, La and a smidge of NdPr.

I call BS. I've never believed these guys claims of these big intrusions being carbonatites, and this announcement is just confirming that they are actively NOT disclosing they don't have a carbonatite.

This is not to say they don't have the ferrocarbonatite ironstone veins like HAS and DRE have. They do. But that's different from the large scale intrusions.
