Highlights Zircon supply is currently limited but is essential in high-growth industries like ceramics, electronics and nuclear energy, which are experiencing increasing demand globally. Initial and historical exploration assay results indicate the potential for significant Zircon co-product potential alongside Rare Earths processing at ARR's flagship Halleck Creek project. Zirconium can be easily separated and upgraded [...]
American Rare Earths Ltd. stands to gain significantly from the recent U.S. tariff policy changes targeting critical minerals and technology sectors. The announcement by the U.S. Trade Representative emphasizes stricter measures on imports, particularly from China, which is poised to escalate the demand for locally sourced critical minerals. American Rare Earths, with its strategic projects at Halleck Creek in Wyoming and [...]
American Rare Earths Ltd. CEO Donald Swartz joined Steve Darling from Proactive to announce the results of a metallurgical study on the leaching extraction of Rare Earth Elements from Halleck Creek ore using low-temperature, direct acid leaching. The study, conducted by researchers at the Department of Mining and Minerals Engineering at Virginia Tech, was part of a three-year research contract awarded by the U.S [...]
Highlights Two independent, peer reviewed, technical studies were recently published that further illustrate the economic potential of Halleck Creek: Minerals Engineering - 80% of Rare Earth Elements extracted with low temperature, direct acid leaching. Fast leaching kinetics are attributable to Halleck Creek metamict allanite structure, with 65% of REEs extracted in the first 10 minutes of leaching. Halleck Creek ore is [...]
Highlights Surface samples of up to 6,221 ppm TREO , revealed potential for a larger, higher grade REE resource area in the Cowboy State mine area Mine planning averaged 3,805 ppm TREO1 in recent scoping study High value magnetic rare earths average 27% of TREO The mapping and sampling will support future higher-grade resource drilling DENVER, April 10, 2024 -- American Rare Earths the 'Company' today announced assay [...]
American Rare Earths is pleased to announce the results of the "Halleck Creek Scoping Study Technical Report" compiled by Stantec Consulting Services Inc . Located in the major mining hub of Wyoming, USA, the Halleck Creek project provides compelling economics and the ARR board has unanimously recommended the project advance to the next phase of development. Highlights: Under our base case 3Mtpa operating scenario [...]
American Rare Earths executives will participate in two upcoming industry conferences: March 6 at PDAC and on March 13 at the Battery Venture, Innovation & Partnering Conference, which is part of the International Battery Seminar. These presentations are particularly timely following the Company's recent resource update at Halleck Creek of 2.34 billion metric tonnes and 1.42 billion metric tonnes of measured and indicated [...]
Highlights Firm commitments received via an institutional placement to raise gross proceeds of A$13.5 million at an issue price of A$0.30 per share Strong support received from existing shareholders and new institutional investors Placement provides significant runway for American Rare Earths to execute on project development milestones to advance Halleck Creek towards providing secure supply of critical minerals to the [...]

The moderator will be Fran Taglia, President, Weir International, Inc. American Rare Earths is well [...]
Highlights: In-Situ Resources at Halleck Creek increased 64% to 2.34 billion tonnes at 3,196 ppm Total Rare Earth Oxides using a 1,000ppm TREO cut-off. 1.42 billion tonnes of measured and indicated resources were estimated at a grade of 3,295 ppm TREO using a 1,000ppm TREO cut-off. The progress made around mine planning and metallurgy supports a cut-off grade of 1,000 ppm based on a thorough economic and technical [...]
Highlights Halleck Creek ore has been successfully preconcentrated to 3.5% TREO at a 12:1 upgrade ratio, representing a ~200% increase from existing flowsheet design using low-cost, conventional Dense Medium Separation . Preconcentrating reduces Wet High Intensity Magnetic Separator needs by 70% from existing design, significantly reducing capital and operating expenditures. The feed mass leading into direct leaching was [...]
Highlights 15 RC holes each drilled to 102 m for a total of 1,530 m. Assay results confirm higher-grade rare earth mineralization from surface, remaining open at depth: Average TREO grade increased 26% to 4,179 ppm for the entire exploration program. Highest grade assay of 11,040 ppm TREO. Numerous holes exhibit grades exceeding 1500 ppm TREO along nearly their entire 102 m length, including; HC23-OM044: 102 m @ 5472 ppm [...]
