LSE-listed Rainbow Rare Earths, which operates the Gakara rare earths mine, in Burundi, has exported a further 75 t of concentrate, grading at about 53% total rare earth oxides.

The concentrate was sold through the company's offtake partner thyssenkrupp Materials Trading.

"We are pleased that we are able to continue to produce high-grade concentrate from our trial mining operations at Gakara. We have recently been trialling a more mechanised extraction of ore at lower grades, and the fact that we are still able to produce high-grade concentrate through our pilot plant underlines the benign mineralogy of our deposit, and bodes well for the design of a much larger bulk mining operation, which is well under way," says Rainbow CEO George Bennett.
