Unlocking the Future of Rare Earths​

IMC Rare Earths stands at the forefront of the global rare earth elements industry, cementing its position as a Tier-1 leader in the production of Magnetic Rare Earth Oxides (MREOs), with a strategic focus on dysprosium (Dy) and terbium (Tb).

Empowering the Future with Rare Earth Metals

IMC Rare Earths Ltd is establishing the largest high-grade DyTb resource outside of China/Myanmar, with the ability to supply to both China and Western markets. As a strategic source of Western supply, IMC has the potential to integrate into an emerging US supply chain.

Brazil represents one of the few sources of large-scale high-grade rare earth supplies, which can help reduce reliance on China. Ionic clay REE deposits have simple, low-cost mining and processing methods allowing a rapid path to production. The project has unparalleled exploration upside, with the current inferred mineral resource of 1.1 billion tonnes occurring on only 13% of the total land package.

The Itarantim Project represents a critical step toward meeting the world’s growing demand for rare earth elements essential for green energy, electric vehicles, and advanced technologies.

The Itarantim Project is a world-class Ionic Adsorption Rare Earth Deposit hosted in kaolinite and halloysite clays within a regolith developed above alkali granite. Mineralisation, with a bias towards heavy magnet rare earths, occurs from surface to depths of +30m and has demonstrated excellent leach recoveries.
