It will be interesting to see what highly regarded ‘new’ institutional investors have participated in the 'Word-class' project.

AR3 already have a non-binding MOU with UK company Neo Performance Materials (NEO). Also, another UK company, Vision Blue Resources recently raised $650m to exclusively invest in companies involved in vanadium, graphite, silicon metal, tin and rare earths. Did they contribute? See website.

If recent reports come true that, China will ban exports of rare earth magnets and the technology to process and refine rare earths elements to thwart USA and European Union efforts to ‘de-risk itself from reliance on a single source of supplier’ then, it’s all looking a bit thin to find another low-CAPEX project in a sovereign-trusted country with a track record of strong ESG credientals. Therefore, it's hard not to see what big names haven’t got their eye on AR3?

Furthermore, if things don’t go the right way for Lynas in the next week or so (see AFR article), AR3 could be one of a few contenders that could be up and running to fill the supply gap before any other hard rock wannabe can – as is the nature of ionic clay-hosted deposits. Especially, if prices remain suppressed.
