ABx Group Advances High-Value Rare Earths and Bauxite Projects as Funding Secured

An announcement from ABx Group Limited ( (AU:ABX) ) is now available.

ABx Group’s December 2025 quarter marked key advances across its rare earths and bauxite portfolios, underpinned by fresh funding. At its Deep Leads heavy rare earth project in northern Tasmania, ANSTO produced the first mixed rare earth carbonate from bulk material with dysprosium and terbium contents several times higher than peer products, giving ABx a significantly higher-value basket and attracting strong preliminary interest from potential separation-plant customers. Column leach tests on 26 kg samples delivered more than 80% total rare earth extraction, confirming the technical feasibility of heap leaching and giving the company flexibility in selecting lower-cost, lower-risk flowsheet options, while new exploration ground and strong drilling results at the T8 prospect further bolstered the project’s growth potential. In parallel, ABx progressed development of its ALCORE pilot plant for fluorine chemicals, fully funded and targeting completion in 2026, and advanced its near-term bauxite strategy as Good Importing International made a $2.7 million stage-one payment for 70% of the Sunrise Bauxite Project and paid an option fee for further project interests, positioning ABx for initial bauxite mining in 2026. The quarter was supported by firm commitments to raise about $6 million via a share placement, strengthening the balance sheet to fund ongoing project development and reinforcing ABx’s positioning in critical minerals and industrial materials supply chains.

The most recent analyst rating on (AU:ABX) stock is a Hold with a A$0.09 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on ABx Group Limited stock, see the AU:ABX Stock Forecast page.
