St. George Mining Ltd. ( (AU:SGQ) ) just unveiled an announcement.

St George Mining has entered a strategic alliance with Brazilian firm Nanum Nanotecnologia to advance downstream processing of rare earths from its Araxá project, aiming to monetise the low-value cerium component while upgrading the concentration of high-value NdPr and heavy rare earths. The company is developing proprietary separation technology that could triple NdPr and HREO grades in its mixed rare earth oxide product and significantly boost the share of premium elements like samarium and yttrium, potentially enhancing project economics and strengthening the project’s appeal to manufacturers seeking secure, high-grade magnet rare earth supplies.

Under the collaboration, St George will complete metallurgical test work on Araxá rare earth materials while both parties optimise processing flowsheets and evaluate Nanum’s nano-materials technology for cerium product development. The partners will also assess marketing strategies and a potential long-term offtake agreement for cerium, which, if realised, would add an additional revenue stream and improve the commercial viability and strategic positioning of Araxá in the global rare earths market.

The most recent analyst rating on (AU:SGQ) stock is a Hold with a A$0.14 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on St. George Mining Ltd. stock, see the AU:SGQ Stock Forecast page.
