ABx Group (ASX:ABX) is taking its Tasmanian rare earths story straight to the people looking for new supply.
Managing Director and CEO Dr Mark Cooksey joins us from Philadelphia after attending a US defence industry event, where critical minerals, supply-chain resilience, and one very important question were front and centre: How do projects get into production faster?
- US focus: Western rare earth supply chains are looking for more diversity
- Customer pull: ABx is deepening relationships with potential buyers
- MREC progress: Deep Leads has already produced ‘high-purity’ mixed rare earth carbonate (MREC) samples
- Partnership model: Refiners, including Ucore Rare Metals, remain part of the downstream strategy
- Next step: Turning technical progress into a commercial pathway
Resources are useful.
Customers asking when they can get the product? Much more interesting.
