Highlights:Mineralogical analysis confirms monazite and bastnaesite as the dominant rare earth element (REE)-bearing minerals within the Trinity and Neo zones at the Rift ProjectMonazite and bastnaesite have well-established mineral processing flowsheets for recovery from carbonatite-type deposits and, therefore, significantly derisk the Rift Project by providing a clear pathway and approach for testwork.Monazite and bastnaesite are the dominant source minerals for REEs globally, both today and historically, and thus form the backbone of the rare earth raw materials industry.Mineralogical data will inform preliminary metallurgical testwork anticipated to begin shortly at SGS Canada's Lakefield, ON, facility.Sean Charland, CEO of Apex Critical Metals, commented: "These mineralogical results are an important confirmation for the Rift Project and validate the historical literature. Monazite and bastnaesite are the same two minerals that underpin the majority of the world's existing REE supply chain. Seeing them as the dominant REE hosts at Rift, rather than a complex assemblage of less-understood phases, is a strong signal for the potential metallurgical simplicity of this deposit as we advance toward our inaugural mineral resource estimate."
