Vital Metals Uncovers Ultra-High-Grade Rare Earths at Nechalacho, Expands Drill Plans

Vital Metals Ltd ( (AU:VML) ) has provided an update.

Vital Metals has reported ultra-high-grade rare earth and niobium assay results from surface grab sampling at multiple new regional targets and central zones within its Nechalacho project, including samples with up to at least 168,035ppm total rare earth oxides and significant niobium grades. The work confirms a mineralised footprint extending well beyond the existing 192.7Mt Tardiff resource, with a notable proportion of heavy rare earth oxides that could improve project economics.

Management says the findings support a district-scale opportunity and underpin a strategy to expand and upgrade resources ahead of a planned pre-feasibility study in 2027, building on a prior scoping study that demonstrated robust project economics. The company has committed to an initial 1,000m winter drilling program at the Cressy Ridge, R and S zones, with further fieldwork planned to advance additional regional targets and strengthen the geological model and long-term value proposition of Nechalacho.

The most recent analyst rating on (AU:VML) stock is a Sell with a A$0.17 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Vital Metals Ltd stock, see the AU:VML Stock Forecast page.
