Traka Resources Limited ( (AU:LIB) ) has issued an announcement.
Liberty Metals has reported a high-grade monazite discovery at its 100%-owned Paraiba Rutile and Monazite Project in Brazil, with a reconnaissance grab sample returning strong concentrations of key rare earth oxides, including cerium, lanthanum and notably 4.69% neodymium oxide, plus significant thorium. The mineral assemblage shows a high proportion of critical magnet metals neodymium and praseodymium, suggesting a “monazite-enriched granite” system comparable to deposits being advanced in Cameroon, and potentially transforming the project from a rutile-focused asset into a broader critical minerals opportunity. In response, the company is immediately deploying a high-resolution airborne radiometric survey and follow-up auger drilling to map the granitic source and test regolith-hosted resource potential, leveraging existing mineral sands and monazite processing infrastructure in Paraíba and potential third-party processing routes to accelerate development, although the company notes results are early-stage and based on a single selective grab sample.
