Rwenzori Rare Metals

A Rare Earth Exploration Company

Developer of one of the world’s largest ionic-clay deposits outside of China

An Introduction to Rwenzori : A Rare Earth Exploration company

Economically viable and sustainable rare earth mining with a deep respect for the planet and the countries in which we operate.

There is really nothing rare about rare earth elements, but what makes this such a challenging form of mining is the ability to extract these minerals cost effectively, in enough quantity to be viable, without adversely affecting the environment – this is what we at Rwenzori aim to achieve.

Conscious REEsource Extraction

OVERVIEW

Rwenzori Rare Metals Limited is a private Ugandan company, with majority shareholder Ionic Rare Earths Limited based in Australia and listed on the Australian Stock Exchange (ASX) (www.ionicre.com.au). Since July 2016 we have established a significant ion adsorption clay deposit that ranks among the largest ionic clay deposits outside China.

WHAT MAKES OUR project UNIQUE

A clay deposit:
Rare earth elements are easier and cheaper to extract, and a key source of critical, magnetic and heavy rare earths. – not a mineral that we are dealing with.

Our process:
More economically viable and environmentally friendly.

Genuine rare earth carbonate:
Rare earths extracted from clays do not require further milling, crushing or cracking but purely separation and refining – the product is a genuine rare earth carbonate – a value added intermediate product perfectly suited for immediate downstream processing via separation and refining.

Breadth and volume of deposit:
A huge deposit, there is significant upside for further growth at Makuutu with only 25% of the current targeted exploration area drilled, and only a fraction of the 37km mineralisation corridor explored to date.

Rare Earth Mining Methods

Being a clay deposit extraction from ionic clays is lowest cost option for REE mining as against the minerals from hard rock deposits such as those found in carbonitites, igneous rocks and other hydro-thermal deposits.
