  • "Offtake agreements are the most important thing for a rare earths junior to secure, as this demonstrates a customer's confidence that a project will be able to deliver a secure supply of rare earths in the future," [Dudley Kingsnorth] said.

    "It's a pretty good place to market a story like [Avalon's]," he explains, adding: "Lots of investors here are interested in the rare earths business, including many retail investors, so it's a good place to work on our investor relations and drum up media interest [in the Avalon project]".

    "Arafura and the Nolans project represent an opportunity for Shenghe to expand its rare earths business internationally and Arafura's long-standing relationship with ECE could mitigate some of the risks inherent in Shenghe partnering with a non-Chinese rare earths company," [Gavin Lockyer] says.
