Osmond advances low-capex critical minerals push at Spain’s Orión project

Osmond Resources Limited ( (AU:OSM) ) has shared an update.

Osmond Resources reported solid progress at its Orión EU Critical Minerals Project in Spain, advancing a Scoping Study for the first EU extraction of rare earths, titanium and zircon using 2 million tonne-per-annum processing modules focused on producing concentrates, a strategy designed to keep capital costs low and allow modular expansion. The company has expanded its second drilling program to 14 holes in a high-grade zone, initiated processing testwork that delivered strong zircon and monazite results, and commenced a pre-feasibility study on a mixed rare earth carbonate downstream opportunity while leveraging Spain’s new critical minerals funding framework and maintaining a cash balance of $7.0 million at the end of March 2026.

These developments underscore Osmond’s effort to build a scalable, low-capex critical minerals operation with optional downstream processing pathways, supported by technical collaborations and ongoing studies into magnet rare earth oxides that could enhance project economics and strategic relevance for European supply chains. The combination of encouraging assay results, expanding exploration, and policy tailwinds from the Spanish Government’s Critical Minerals Plan positions the Orión project as a potentially significant contributor to Europe’s domestic supply of key materials if subsequent technical and economic studies prove successful.
