Highlights include at the base case 1.00% TREO cut-off grade:
| Category | Resource Tonnes | Nd 2 O 3 (Kg in-situ) |
Pr2O3 (Kg in-situ) |
Dy 2 O 3 (Kg in-situ) |
Eu2O3 (Kg in-situ) |
Y2O3 (Kg in-situ) |
Nb2O5 (Kg in-situ) |
| Indicated | 183,900,000 | 446,000,000 | 139,000,000 | 4,190,000 | 9,000,000 | 13,000,000 | 231,000,000 |
