Vertical Integration Across Rare-earth ChainHastings’ integrated approach—exploration, project development, processing flowsheet development and commercialisation planning—creates a durable structural advantage by aiming to capture more value from raw concentrates through refining and specialised products, improving margin potential if executed.
Strategic Asset Exposure: Yangibana ProjectYangibana’s focus on rare earths used in high-performance permanent magnets ties Hastings to secular demand drivers (EVs, renewables, defense). Ownership of a project targeting magnet-critical elements is a durable positioning advantage if the project reaches sustained production and qualification cycles.

Persistent revenue growth and continued reduction in cash burn would signal structural progress from development toward operating cash generation.
