Ecora Resources PLC Announces Phalaborwa Rare Earths Project Update
Ecora Resources (OTCQX:ECRAF) noted Rainbow Rare Earths updated the Phalaborwa Mineral Resource Estimate to include yttrium, a heavy rare earth element subject to Chinese export controls since April 2025. Rainbow currently values neodymium, praseodymium, dysprosium and terbium in its economic models and intends to update the Definitive Feasibility Study to add ancillary metals including yttrium to reflect growing market demand for the full REE basket. Ecora holds a 0.85% gross revenue royalty on Phalaborwa.
The update highlights potential changes to the project value chain and modelling assumptions as Rainbow revises its DFS to include additional REE components.
Ecora Resources (OTCQX:ECRAF) ha osservato che Rainbow Rare Earths ha aggiornato la Stima delle Risorse Minerali di Phalaborwa per includere ittrio, un elemento delle terre rare pesanti soggetto a controlli sulle esportazioni cinesi dall'aprile 2025. Rainbow attualmente valuta neodimio, praseodimio, disprosio e terbio nei propri modelli economici e intende aggiornare lo Studio di Fattibilita Definitivo per aggiungere metalli ausiliari tra cui lo ittrio per riflettere la crescente domanda di mercato per l'intero paniere di REE. Ecora detiene una royalty sul reddito lordo dello 0,85% su Phalaborwa.
L'aggiornamento evidenzia potenziali cambiamenti nella catena del valore del progetto e nelle ipotesi di modellazione mentre Rainbow rivede il suo DFS per includere componenti REE aggiuntivi.

Ecora Resources (OTCQX:ECRAF)가 Rainbow Rare Earths가 Phalaborwa 광상 자원 추정치를 업데이트하여 이트륨을 포함하게 되었으며, 이는 2025년 4월부터 중국의 수출 통제 대상인 중형 희토류 원소입니다. Rainbow는 현재 네오디뮴, 프라세오디뮴, 디스프로슘, 테르비움을 경제 모델에 반영하고 있으며, 전체 REE 바스켓에 대한 수요 증가를 반영하기 위해 이트륨을 포함한 보조 금속을 추가하기 위해 결정 타당성 연구(DFS)를 업데이트할 계획입니다. Ecora는 Phalaborwa에 대해 0.85%의 총매출 로열티를 보유하고 있습니다.
업데이트는 Rainbow가 추가 REE 구성요소를 포함하도록 DFS를 수정하면서 프로젝트 가치사슬 및 모델링 가정에 잠재적 변화가 생길 수 있음을 강조합니다.
Ecora Resources (OTCQX:ECRAF) a indiqué que Rainbow Rare Earths a mis à jour l'Estimation des ressources minérales de Phalaborwa pour inclure l’yttrium, un élément des terres rares lourdes soumis à des contrôles d’exportation chinois depuis avril 2025. Rainbow valorise actuellement le néodyme, le praséodime, le dysprosium et le terbium dans ses modèles économiques et prévoit de mettre à jour l’étude de faisabilité définitive pour ajouter des métaux auxiliaires, y compris l’yttrium, afin de refléter la demande croissante pour le panier REE complet. Ecora détient une redevance brute sur les revenus de 0,85 % sur Phalaborwa.
La mise à jour met en lumière d’éventuels changements dans la chaîne de valeur du projet et dans les hypothèses de modélisation à mesure que Rainbow révise son DFS pour inclure des composants REE supplémentaires.
Ecora Resources (OTCQX:ECRAF) wies darauf hin, dass Rainbow Rare Earths die Phalaborwa-Mineralressourcenschätzung aktualisiert hat, um Yttrium, ein schweres Seltene-Erden-Element, das seit April 2025 chinesischen Exportkontrollen unterliegt, einzubeziehen. Rainbow bewertet derzeit Neodym, Praseodym, Dysprosium und Terbium in seinen wirtschaftlichen Modellen und beabsichtigt, die Definitive Feasibility Study (DFS) zu aktualisieren, um Nebenmetalle einschließlich Yttrium hinzuzufügen, um die wachsende Nachfrage nach dem gesamten REE-Korb widerzuspiegeln. Ecora hält eine Bruttoeinnahmen-Royalty von 0,85% an Phalaborwa.
Das Update hebt potenzielle Änderungen in der Wertschöpfungskette des Projekts und in den Modellannahmen hervor, während Rainbow seine DFS überprüft, um zusätzliche REE-Komponenten einzubeziehen.
