摘要

Production is gearing up at one of the worlds only non-Chinese rare earth producers, with 5,000 tonnes of rare earth concentrate expected to reach the market in 2018, following the first commercial shipment and a fresh ?2.8 million ($3.7 million) share issue. In December 2017 Rainbow Rare Earths announced that it had sold its first shipment of rare earths from the Gakara project in Burundi, with the unusually high grade of the deposit helping the projects commercial viability.
