Corporate Presentation summary
3 Nov, 2025Strategic focus and portfolio
Focuses on critical raw materials, especially heavy rare earth elements (HREEs) and natural graphite, with all assets located in the EU, including 100% owned projects in Sweden and a polymetallic exploration in Romania.
Projects address supply chain vulnerabilities in Europe for key industries such as renewables, e-mobility, and defense.
Leadership team has significant mining and financial experience, with strong insider and Swedish shareholdings.
Norra Kärr HREE project
One of Europe's most advanced HREE projects, targeting dysprosium and terbium for permanent magnets in EVs and wind turbines.
Mining lease decision expected Q4 2025; pre-feasibility study completion targeted for Q1 2026.
2021 PEA estimates 5,341 tpa TREOs, 1,005 tpa MagREOs, 26-year LOM, post-tax NPV (10%) of $762M, IRR 26.3%, and $206M average annual EBITDA.
Project redesign reduced land area by 65%, water demand by 20-30%, and moved chemical processing off-site, enhancing sustainability.
Revenue distribution: 74% REO, with Dy, Nd, Tb, and Pr as key contributors.
Woxna Graphite project
Built and permitted mine and processing plant in Sweden, with flake concentrate production of 10,000+ tpa at >94% Cg, potential to increase to 15,000 tpa.
2021 PEA: post-tax NPV (8%) of $248M, IRR 37.4%, $1,425M revenues, $49M average annual EBITDA, 15-year LOM.
