Arafura Resources (ASX: ARU) is an emerging rare earths producer. Arafura is currently developing its Nolans rare earths-phosphate-uranium project in Australia’s Northern Territory. The project is underpinned by a 30 million tonne resource that can sustain a 20-year mine life.
Arafura has expanded the scope of a Bankable Feasibility Study for the Nolans Project and extended the expected completion date of the Nolans Project Bankable Feasibility Study by nine to twelve months to simplify the Nolans Project flow sheet to focus predominately on production of rare earth products.
