Kendrick Resources PLC ( (GB:KEN) ) just unveiled an update.

Kendrick Resources has launched an expanded drilling and trenching programme at its Kieshöhe rare earths project in southern Namibia, aiming to define a JORC-compliant mineral resource that could support its flagship Teufelskuppe project 30km away. The company is sourcing a second drill rig, sampling over 2,500m of trenches, and submitting samples for petrological and metallurgical studies to optimise processing routes.

Initial Phase I drilling and channel sampling at Kieshöhe indicate an average total rare earth element grade of about 1.6–2.0 wt%, with high-value magnet metals neodymium and praseodymium contributing roughly 27% of the rare earth mix. With three potential open pits identified as satellite ore sources and low uranium levels in the carbonatites, Kendrick is positioning Kieshöhe as a strategic, Namibian-based REE supply option aligned with rising global demand and efforts to diversify supply away from China.

The most recent analyst rating on (GB:KEN) stock is a Hold with a £0.98 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Kendrick Resources PLC stock, see the GB:KEN Stock Forecast page.

Spark’s Take on KEN Stock

According to Spark, TipRanks’ AI Analyst, KEN is a Neutral.

The score is held down primarily by weak financial performance (no revenue, ongoing losses, negative cash flow, and a material 2024 decline in equity/assets). Technicals provide some offset due to strong upward trend vs moving averages and positive MACD, but overbought momentum indicators increase near-term risk. Valuation is also constrained by negative earnings and no dividend yield support.
