Assay TV sits down with Tim Harrison, Managing Director of Ionic Rare Earths (ASX: IXR), to talk about the company’s flagship Makuutu Project in Uganda. IonicRE has completed its Phase 4 infill drilling programme and has encountered high-grade intervals, including 7.4m at 1,849 ppm TREO from 3.2m.
Tim updates us about the Makuutu basket, which comprises 44% heavy REO and 43% magnet REOs. He also discusses the company’s cooperation with Seren Technologies, using chemical extraction to recycle spent magnets to refined 99.99%+ REO quality.
Furthermore, drill results for 110 holes from the fifth tranche have just been released, showing a 100% success rate. Results from the remaining 66 holes will be returned soon, and the Mineral Resource Estimate Update will commence in Q2 this year.
