Address
St Julian's Avenue, Connaught House, Saint Peter Port, GGY, GY1 3EL
Rainbow Rare Earths Ltd aims to be a forerunner in the establishment of an independent and ethical supply chain of the rare earth elements that are driving the green energy transition. It is doing this successfully via the identification and development of secondary rare earth deposits that can be brought into production quicker and at a lower cost than traditional hard rock mining projects, with a focus on the magnet rare earth elements neodymium & praseodymium, dysprosium & terbium. It is focused on the development of the Phalaborwa Project and the earlier stage Uberaba Project. Both projects entail the recovery of rare earths from phosphogypsum stacks that occur as the by-product of phosphoric acid production, with the original source rock for both deposits being a hardrock carbonatite.
