Critical Minerals at the Eagle's Nest Critical Minerals Project
The Eagle's Nest Critical Minerals Project is being evaluated as a multi-commodity critical minerals project. The target commodities include rare earth elements, scandium, gallium, zirconium and niobium.
Target Commodities
What Ramsden is targeting
Rare earth elements
Rare earth elements are essential to permanent magnets, electric vehicles, wind turbines, robotics, electronics and defence technologies. Historical exploration at the Eagle's Nest Critical Minerals Project reported rare earth element enrichment in selected rock samples.
Scandium
Scandium is used to strengthen aluminum alloys and has potential applications in aerospace, advanced manufacturing, transportation and energy technologies. Scandium was not included in historical assay programs at the Eagle's Nest Critical Minerals Project and remains a future exploration target.
Gallium
Gallium is used in semiconductors, solar technologies, 5G infrastructure and other advanced electronic applications. Historical data reported gallium values at the Eagle's Nest Critical Minerals Project, but gallium was not systematically followed up as a target.
Nb
Zirconium & Niobium
Zirconium and niobium are used in advanced industrial, energy and infrastructure applications. Historical data reported zirconium and niobium values at the Eagle's Nest Critical Minerals Project, and Ramsden intends to evaluate these metals as part of a broader critical minerals strategy.
Historical results are from selected grab samples collected during the 2010 program. Grab samples are selective by nature and may not be representative of the wider system.
