First Development Resources Plc ( (GB:FDR) ) has shared an update.

First Development Resources plc has announced the commencement of its first-pass rare-earth element exploration at the Selta Project in Australia’s Northern Territory. The exploration, beginning in December 2025, will focus on stream-sediment sampling and reconnaissance mapping in two priority areas, Ingallan and West Nintabrinna, to validate historical geochemical anomalies and identify new targets. This initiative is part of the company’s strategy to fast-track rare-earth element exploration in response to geopolitical shifts aimed at securing critical mineral supplies. The exploration could benefit from the US-Australia Critical Minerals Framework, which aims to accelerate mining and processing projects.
