Keith Middleton tells Proactive's Andrew Scott they're planning to drill eight diamond holes across the new La Paz Southwest Project area in the US state of Arizona in a bid to firm up a conceptual exploration target of 742-928 million tonnes.
He says the core holes will provide geological data about the lateral and vertical extent of the mineralisation in the target area.

As a large tonnage, bulk deposit, La Paz is also potentially the largest-rare earth deposit in the USA and benefits from containing very low penalty elements such as radioactive thorium and uranium.

ARR has welcomed Chris Gibbs as managing director, CEO and board member, effective November 1, 2021.The appointment comes ahead of the company’s OTC listing and at a time of significant growth.

American Rare Earth’s wholly-owned US subsidiary Western Rare Earths (WRE) is supplying feedstock to researchers seeking funding from the US Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency’s (DARPA) new Rare Earth Elements (REE) bioengineering research program.
WRE is providing some of the very few REE mineral deposit feedstocks that qualify for use in the program.

It has provided REE (mineralised rocks or ore) to three research teams, including researchers from US national laboratories and elite American 'Research One' universities applying to the Environmental Microbes as a Bio-Engineering Resource (EMBER) program.

American Rare Earths’ managing director Keith Middleton said: “We are delighted by these potential opportunities cultivated by our US-based Leadership Team.
