Brazilian Rare Earths Expands Monte Alto District with High-Grade Drilling Results — Brazilian Rare Earths Limited

Event summary

High-resolution airborne geophysics defined over 9 km of rare earth exploration corridors in the Velhinhas project, extending mineralization south of Monte Alto.
Drilling results confirmed high-grade mineralization with grades up to 19.6% TREO and exceptional heavy rare earth grades including 58,249 ppm Y₂O₃.
Shareholders approved the demerger of Alurion Resources, raising A$50 million in an IPO to fund the Amargosa bauxite-gallium project.
Brazilian Rare Earths retains ~16% stake in Alurion post-IPO, valued at approximately A$41 million.

The big picture

Brazilian Rare Earths is accelerating the growth of its Monte Alto District with significant high-grade drilling results, while simultaneously streamlining its portfolio through the demerger of Alurion Resources. The company's focus on critical minerals aligns with global trends toward securing supply chains for rare earth elements and heavy rare earths, essential for technologies like electric vehicles and renewable energy systems.
