Rare Earths Americas Drills Deeper at Brazil’s Alpha Project

Rare Earths Americas, Inc. has commenced a 13,400-meter reverse circulation drilling program at its Alpha Rare Earths Project in Bahia, Brazil, targeting deeper mineralization and advancing resource classification. The initiative follows historical constraints imposed by auger drilling, which averaged just 16.5 meters in depth, limiting prior estimates to inferred resources of 202 million tonnes grading 1,520 parts per million (ppm) total rare earth oxide (TREO). Key focus areas include confirming the extension of mineralization beyond existing depths, converting resources to indicated and measured categories, and enhancing the contribution of heavy rare earth elements such as neodymium (322 ppm), praseodymium, dysprosium (39 ppm), and terbium. Notably, yttrium grades exceed 300 ppm and gadolinium grades surpass 40 ppm in multiple drill holes, suggesting significant potential for high-grade deposits.
