Jaguar Uranium Initiates Rare Earth Element Assessment at Colombia's Berlin Project
Rhea-AI Summary
Jaguar Uranium (NYSE: JAGU) has begun an initial rare earth element (REE) assessment at its Berlin Project in Caldas, Colombia, covering 9,053 hectares. The program will selectively re-sample >20,000 metres of historic drill core to characterize REE, vanadium, phosphate and other associated metals without immediate new drilling.
The company plans a three-phase approach: core re-sampling, multi-element geological modelling, and by-product economics analysis, with initial re-sampling expected in 2026.
Positive
- District-scale landholding of 9,053 hectares
- >20,000 metres of historic drill core available for re-sampling
- Initial REE work can proceed without near-term new drilling
- Infrastructure proximity: ~12 km to hydroelectric power, ~65 km to river port
Negative
- REE potential unproven: assays pending to confirm historical indications
- Forward-looking milestones subject to permitting and operational delays
- No resource estimate yet; multi-commodity resource target remains contingent on further verification

Key Figures
Historical Context
| Date | Event | Sentiment | 24h Move | Catalyst |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Mar 10 | Exploration strategy | Positive | -5.7% | Outlined 2026 exploration plan across Argentina and Colombia with funding visibility. |
| Mar 10 | Exploration strategy | Positive | -5.7% | Detailed steps toward initial mineral resources and collaboration in Mendoza Province. |
| Mar 04 | Collaboration agreement | Positive | +5.4% | Signed one-year cooperation framework with Mendoza’s Ministry for technical and ESG work. |
| Mar 04 | Collaboration agreement | Positive | +5.4% | Announced renewable framework for studies and information exchange on Mendoza properties. |
| Mar 02 | Permit approval | Positive | +16.3% | Received ahead-of-schedule EIA permit for Guanaco at Laguna Salada, enabling Phase 1 work. |
24h Move is the share-price change in the day after each event; other market factors may also have contributed.
Recent news has drawn mixed reactions: permitting and partnership updates often aligned with positive moves, while broader exploration strategy updates twice saw negative reactions despite constructive content.
Over early March 2026, Jaguar Uranium progressed multiple strategic steps. It secured an EIA permit for the Guanaco area at Laguna Salada, supporting a funded Phase 1 program after its $25 million IPO. Collaboration agreements with Mendoza’s Ministry of Energy and Environment established a framework for technical and ESG cooperation. A 2026 exploration strategy across Argentina and Colombia emphasized field work and historic core analysis. Despite generally positive operational milestones, market reactions have alternated between strong gains and notable pullbacks, highlighting some volatility around news flow.

Commentary from policymakers and policy analysts has highlighted the strategic importance of developing non–Chinese rare earth supply chains. For example, Gracelin Baskaran, Director of the Critical Minerals Security Program at the Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS), has publicly noted that
The Berlin Project deposit is a geologically rare combination of elements contained in a layer of phosphate-bearing limestone in a layered sedimentary sequence3 which may make REE mineralization geologically significant.

Assessment Program: Three Phase Approach
I. Core Logging and Systematic Re-Sampling — A sizeable, mineralized portion of the more than 20,000 meters of previously drilled core is believed to remain preserved and immediately available to the Company. Jaguar plans to selectively systematically log, photograph, and selectively re-sample this core for REE and multi-element assay, targeting initial resource characterization data on an accelerated timeline and at a fraction of the cost of a new drilling campaign.
II. Multi-Element Geological Modeling — Potential REE assay data will be integrated with existing uranium, vanadium, and phosphate datasets to construct a comprehensive multi-element geological model, with the intention to establish a technical foundation required to advance toward an initial multi-commodity resource estimate across the Berlin Project, subject to additional work, verification and regulatory requirements.
III. By-Product Economics and Cost Structure — REE potential, including vanadium, nickel, phosphate, molybdenum, rhenium, and zinc may, if ultimately demonstrated, have the potential to be evaluated as by–product credits in future economic studies, at
Berlin Project – Key Facts
Property: 9,053 hectares across two concessions, in the mining-friendly Department of Caldas,
Historic drill core: More than 20,000 meters of previous drilling activity — a sizeable, mineralized portion believed to be preserved and available for immediate re-sampling. No new drilling is currently anticipated for this initial analysis.
Exploration upside: Only a portion of the project had been drilled by prior operators, offering significant potential upside across the remaining area
Infrastructure: ~12 km from a hydroelectric power source and ~65 km from a river port with direct
Potential by-product minerals: Historically reported associated elements include REEs (including neodymium and yttrium), vanadium, phosphate, nickel, molybdenum, rhenium and zinc.4
The Company is evaluating whether such historically reported associated elements (including REEs, vanadium, phosphate, nickel, molybdenum, rhenium and zinc) could, if ultimately demonstrated and economically recoverable, have potential relevance as future by–products.
