Corporate presentation summary
20 Mar, 2026Strategic focus and portfolio
Developing critical raw materials projects in the EU, focusing on heavy rare earth elements (HREEs) and natural graphite, with assets in Sweden and Romania.
Projects include 100% owned Woxna Graphite mine, Norra Kärr HREE project, and majority-owned Bihor Sud Ni-Co exploration.
Aims to address European supply chain vulnerabilities for key materials in renewables, e-mobility, and defense sectors.
Norra Kärr HREE project
One of Europe's most advanced HREE projects, targeting dysprosium and terbium for permanent magnets.
2021 PEA estimates 5,341 tpa TREOs, 1,005 tpa MagREOs over 26 years, with post-tax NPV (10%) of $762M and IRR of 26.3%.
Project redesign reduced land area by 65%, water demand by 20-30%, and moved chemical processing off-site.
Mining lease decision expected in early 2026; pre-feasibility workstreams underway.
Sustainability advantage with lower environmental impact compared to global peers.
Woxna Graphite project
Built and permitted mine and processing plant with 10,000 tpa+ flake concentrate production, potential to expand to 15,000 tpa.
Positioned to supply both anode and industrial markets, supporting EU battery industry and reducing dependency on China.
2021 PEA for anode material: post-tax NPV (8%) of $248M, IRR of 37.4%, 15-year LOM, $49M average annual EBITDA.
Coated spherical purified graphite from Woxna has 85-90% lower CO2 impact than Chinese alternatives.
