IVR's felsic-volcanic hosted rare earths gets a mention by Dr Diana Zivak. (approx. 12:10 –14:30 minutes)
Her analytical understanding and background will become invaluable as the rare earths industry matures in South Australia.
My key take away message is that when it comes to any rare earths project, every potential new find is unique and will need to stand up on its own. There are no hard and fast rules. Also, most exploration companies have a poor understand the mineralogy within the clays even before they embark on the metallurgical processing. In other words, we all have a lot to learn.
