Hastings Technology Metals will vault into the rare earths producer stakes after striking a deal to acquire a fully-permitted but unconstructed hydrometallurgical mixed rare earth chloride facility in Thailand. The $US15 million purchase will not only allow it to become a producer of value-added products but offers an avenue to revive the company’s flagship Yangibana rare earths project in WA.

COVER 26

While its peers are heading far and wide to find new, developable copper projects, Cyprium Metals Ltd has stuck close to home and is on the brink of getting major reward. The company has been quietly plugging away at the refurbishment of the troubled Nifty copper mine in the Paterson region of WA but with a production restart imminent, it suddenly finds itself the centre of intensifying interest. Dominic Piper spoke to executive chairman Matt Fifield about the opportunity.

SOUTH AUSTRALIA 32

The dramatic rise over the last nine months has spurred the ASX exploration sector into action, with a plethora of companies emerging with pre-development stories. Paydirt looks at the opportunities which lay in wait.
