Summary
Brazilian Critical Minerals Limited (BCM) has announced the successful production of a high-grade mixed rare earth carbonate (MREC) from their field trial solutions at the Ema Project in Brazil. The MREC produced contains 52.5% total rare earth oxides (TREO) with 41.5% represented as magnet rare earth oxides (MREO), positioning it as one of the highest purity magnet-rich rare earth products in the western world. The process, conducted by the Australian Nuclear Science and Technology Organisation (ANSTO), used in-situ recovery (ISR) techniques, which are deemed low-cost and capital-efficient, thereby reinforcing BCM's strategic importance as a potential leading supplier of critical rare earths. The company is undertaking a bankable feasibility study expected to conclude in Q1 2026, while also engaging with regulatory bodies for necessary permits.
