  • Arafura Resources Limited ("Arafura", "Company") is an ASX listed company focussed on developing its 100% owned Nolans Rare Earths Project located in the Northern Territory, Australia.

  • Neodymium-Praseodymium ("NdPr") are two rare earth elements which are essential ingredients in rare earth permanent magnets. Rare earth magnets are used in electric vehicles, wind turbines and advanced weapon systems.

  • China continues to dominate the global supply chain being the world's largest producer accounting for approximately 80% of the NdPr for global rare earth permanent magnet production.

  • Lynas Corporation Ltd (ASX:LYC) is the only significant miner and processor of rare earth materials outside China enjoying a market capitalisation in excess of $1bn.

  • Nolans Project nearing final investment decision.

Investment Highlights

  • Globally Strategic Asset - Nolans Rare Earth Project is one of the world's largest undeveloped NdPr projects with an existing JORC Compliant Resource of 56Mt at 2.6% TREO with 26.4% NdPr enrichment that could come to provide 5-10% of global demand of NdPr oxide for use in permanent magnets.

    Highly Leveraged to NdPr Price

  • Highly Leveraged to Forecast NdPr Price Increases - NdPr accounts for 85% of Nolans rare earth composition by value making Arafura highly leveraged to forecast increases in NdPr prices.

    Low OPEX

  • Lowest Cost Quartile - Very low estimated OPEX of US$6.23/kg TREO and US$24.40/kg NdPr makes Arafura the lowest amongst peers and underpins a 30+ year mine life.

    Australian Project

  • Tier 1 Jurisdiction - 100% owned Nolans Rare Earth Project is located in the Northern Territory, Australia 10 km from Stuart Highway, 135km from Alice Springs railyard and adjacent to Amadeus natural gas pipeline.

    DFS December 2018
