Mount Ridley Unveils Major Heavy Rare Earth Resource at WA Project

An update from Mount Ridley Mines Limited ( (AU:MRD) ) is now available.

Mount Ridley Mines has reported an inferred heavy rare earth oxide resource of 122.56 million tonnes at 889 ppm total rare earth oxides at its Mt Ridley Project, including 44,610 tonnes of heavy rare earth oxides with a premium 41% HREE ratio and notable dysprosium and terbium content. The resource, hosted in the same regolith system as existing scandium and gallium mineralisation, establishes one of the largest regolith-hosted heavy rare earth resources globally and supports the company’s strategy to build a multi-element critical minerals project, with planned resource expansion work and metallurgical results indicating favourable leach characteristics for higher-value heavy rare earth recovery.

The delineation of heavy rare earth enriched zones across the project’s central and northern blocks strengthens Mount Ridley’s potential revenue mix, with magnet rare earth grades including approximately 23,500 tonnes of contained neodymium-praseodymium. With more than 80% of tenure still untested and multiple geophysical targets identified, the company sees clear scope for resource growth and upgrading, enhancing its potential role in strategically important rare earth supply chains closely linked to energy transition and defence applications.

The most recent analyst rating on (AU:MRD) stock is a Hold with a A$0.02 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Mount Ridley Mines Limited stock, see the AU:MRD Stock Forecast page.
