Australia’s richest person Gina Rinehart will end up with roughly 10% of Arafura Rare Earths Ltd by pumping a massive $60 million into the rare earths developer, underlining the excitement around the development of its Nolans Project.
The iron ore magnate, whose private company announced a massive $5.8 billion profit last week and spearheaded the construction of the US$7 billion Roy Hill iron ore mine, will tip in almost half of the $121 million firmly committed to a placement to accelerate the Nolans’ development schedule.
Coming just weeks after securing offtake MoUs with auto giants Hyundai and Kia, the placement signals the interest from the top echelon of the global investment community in the neodymium and praseodymium rich Nolans Project in the NT.
Arafura’s (ASX:ARU) Nolans mine will produce 4,440t a year of NdPr oxide along with 474t of SEG/HRE oxide and 144,393t of phosphoric acid over a 38-year mine life with a post-tax NPV of $2.4 billion and IRR of 19.3%.
