IMC Rare Earths posts up to 95.2% terbium recovery at Itarantim project in Brazil
  • IMC Rare Earths reported lab metallurgical testwork at its Itarantim ionic adsorption clay project in Brazil, targeting magnet rare earths.
  • Terbium leach recovery reached 95.2% in the best composite; average terbium recovery was 81.1% across tests.
  • Itarantim hosts an inferred resource of about 1.1 billion tonnes; a 105.8 million-tonne domain averaged 8 ppm terbium.
  • Testwork also produced a mixed rare earth carbonate, supporting a potential processing route toward separated rare earth products.
  • ANSTO Minerals was engaged for additional metallurgical work to quantify recoveries and mixed rare earth carbonate characteristics.
