Neo Performance Materials signs MOU with Rainbow Rare Earths for Phalaborwa rare earth offtake
  • Neo Performance Materials signed an MOU with Rainbow Rare Earths covering technical support, rare earth separation technology, and offtake from Phalaborwa, South Africa.
  • Offtake rights cover 40% of annual separated NdPr oxide output, 65% of annual mixed heavy rare earth carbonate production.
  • Neo will support design and optimization of the final solvent extraction separation circuit; testing is underway in Estonia, pilot work planned in Johannesburg.
  • Parties will assess toll treating the remaining 35% of mixed carbonate at Neo facilities, returning separated products to Rainbow.
  • Arrangement targets additional magnet rare earth feedstock for Neo’s European operations from phosphogypsum waste, reducing reliance on new mining.
