Altona Rare Earths Plc (LSE:REE) has identified three significant untested gallium soil anomalies at its Monte Muambe project in Mozambique. This discovery, made after reviewing the company’s soil sampling data, suggests that gallium is more widespread at the site than previously anticipated, possibly indicating higher-grade mineralization. Altona plans to conduct additional assessments, including in-fill soil sampling and reconnaissance drilling, to investigate these anomalies further.
The discovery of gallium, a metal commonly associated with neodymium and praseodymium, could add considerable value to the Monte Muambe project. If gallium can be recovered as a co-product during rare earth extraction, it may provide an additional revenue stream, further enhancing the economic potential of the project.
