Leading Edge Materials (OTCQB:LEMIF) has submitted supplementary information for its Norra Kärr Heavy Rare Earth Elements (HREE) Project exploitation concession application in Sweden. The submission addresses environmental impact queries from regional stakeholders and County Administrative Boards.
The project has undergone significant improvements, featuring a 65% smaller operational footprint and focusing solely on extraction and mineral processing. The Norra Kärr deposit, discovered by the Geological Survey of Sweden in the early 1900s, is recognized as one of Europe's richest HREE deposits, particularly for dysprosium and terbium.
This development comes amid recent geopolitical tensions, with China's dominance in the rare earth supply chain and recent export restrictions leading to substantial price increases for HREEs. The project aims to establish a secure European supply chain for critical rare earth elements.
