source:REUTERSSTOCKHOLM, June 12 (Reuters) - Swedish mining company LKAB on Monday raised by a quarter its estimate of the size of deposits of rare earth oxides in the Kiruna area of northern Sweden, already Europe's biggest discovery of minerals key to green technologies like electric motors.Resources at the Per Geijer deposit, which is rich in elements used to make permanent magnets, are now estimated at 1.3 million tonnes, up from an earlier estimate of more than 1 million, LKAB said.'In January Per Geijer was already the biggest known deposit in Europe in terms of those materials,&...

source:SMALL CAPSBrazil-focused explorer BBX Minerals (ASX: BBX) has used ternary radiometric imaging and the Th/U factor to define 14 high-priority targets across 19.4 square kilometres of the Ema and Ema East ionic rare earths (iREE) leases in Brazil.Th/U is often employed in identifying preserved regolith profiles which have developed on granites and felsic rocks.The new targets have developed on top of rhyolite and are believed to be similar to deposits in the Guangxi region in southwest China.An elevated radiometric Th/K signature was also observed, indicating leaching of potassium from t...
