- The Eisenberg carbonatite is situated about 15km from the village of Kalkfeld on a crow-fly path on the farm Eisenberg 78, in the Otjozondjupa Region, in the north central Namibia, ca. 227km NNW of the capital city of Windhoek.
- The project is ideally located with access to a bitumen highway and a railway line with a rail head in Kalkfeld.
- Huge Maiden Inferred resources of 570 Mt at 0.9% TREO (NI 43-101)
- Proved recovery of at least 60% using a hybrid process for the extraction of REE, which consisted of:
-
- Physical upgrade;
- PyEarth Process;
- Hydrometallurgy; and
- Refining
- PyEarth Process, a novel pyrometallurgy technology developed by Mintek SA, selectively removes Fe from REO with a recovery of >90% REE.
