Full Summary
Critica Limited (ASX: CRI) reports a significant advancement in the beneficiation pathway at its Jupiter Rare Earth Project, Australia's largest clay-hosted rare earth resource. The pilot plant has successfully upgraded feed material approximately 14 times to an intermediate concentrate grading ~3% TREO. This upgrade, achieved with approximately 95% mass rejection, supports lower projected operating and capital intensity. Strong Magnet REE recoveries are maintained, with Nd and Dy recoveries both above 74%. These results build on previous beneficiation and MREO testwork and directly inform the Jupiter Scoping Study being progressed with Sedgman.
