Rainbow Rare Earths Company Profile

Rainbow Rare Earths aims to be a forerunner in the establishment of an independent and ethical supply chain of the rare earth elements that are driving the green energy transition and other advanced future-facing technologies.

It is doing this successfully via pioneering the first commercial recovery of rare earth elements from phosphogypsum that occurs as the by-product of phosphoric acid production. These projects eliminate the cost and risk of mining, meaning that they can be brought into production quicker and at a lower cost than traditional hard rock mining projects.

The Company is developing the Phalaborwa Project in South Africa and the earlier stage Uberaba Project in Brazil.
