Cheers , Newbie.
I am pleased you raised it ..as I have clearly misread ( or failed to read one word ..PILOT PLANT PROGRAMME
I took this from the last Quarterly.. under the heading RARE EARTHS OPTION ASSESSMENT

Clearly - a pilot plant programme ..a hell of a lot different to constructing a pilot plant .
Apologies
Edit
At ANSTO, development of a rare earth option
flowsheet has continued. Bench scale testing ofAt ANSTO, development of a rare earth option
flowsheet has continued. Bench scale testing of
impurity removal and rare earth precipitation
indicated excellent rejection of impurities from the
intermediate rare earth carbonate, with improved
solid-liquid separation. A 200kg bulk leach was
carried out on a composite of 137 drill core
intervals, followed by impurity removal and rare
earth precipitation to provide a sample for testing
of the rare earth purification and solvent
extraction feed elements of the flowsheet. This
testing will be conducted in the next Quarter.

A pilot plant program at ANSTO will commence once outcomes for current testwork have been confirmed and
a decision has been made on the preferred RE Options Assessment pathway.

This program will assess the
continuous operation of the flowsheet, culminating in the production of separated neodymium/
praseodymium (NdPr), terbium (Ty) and dysprosium (Dy) oxides.
Testwork will continue in Q1 2025 as planned and the Company will update the market upon receipt of
concluded results for any preferred RE Options Assessment pathways.
