Notes to Editors:
Rainbow's focus is the Gakara Project in Burundi, which produces one of the highest-grade concentrates in the world (typically 54% Total Rare Earth Oxide) and is the only African producer of rare earths through the ongoing trial mining operations. The Gakara basket is weighted heavily towards neodymium (Nd) and praseodymium (Pr), which account for over 80% of the value of the Gakara concentrate.
Nd and Pr are vital components of the strongest permanent magnets used for the motors and turbines driving the green technology evolution. Analysts are predicting demand for magnet rare earth oxides will grow substantially over the coming years, driven by increasing adoption of green technology, pushing the overall market for Nd and Pr into deficit.
