Kendrick Resources (LSE: KEN) has delivered what could be a major de-risking milestone for its Teufelskuppe rare earth project in Namibia, with independent mineralogical work confirming that more than 95% of the rare earth pool is hosted in minerals amenable to established processing routes. The REEs are dominated by bastnäsite and parisite, the same fluorocarbonate mineral family associated with some of the world’s major rare earth deposits, with total REE mineral content reaching as high as 7.8%. Crucially, certified assays confirm exceptionally low radioactivity, averaging just 144ppm thorium and 3.6ppm uranium across 96 samples, placing Teufelskuppe in the lowest quartile of comparable hard-rock REE projects globally. With high uranium and thorium often adding substantial processing, environmental and waste-management costs, Kendrick believes this combination of favourable mineralogy and exceptionally low radioactivity could translate into a simpler flowsheet, lower capital and operating costs and an easier permitting pathway. Metallurgical work with specialist Dorfner Anzaplan is already underway, potentially moving Teufelskuppe another significant step towards demonstrating not just high grades, but unusually attractive development characteristics.
