What happened
Iluka Resources stockpiled approximately 125,000 tonnes of ore at its Kangankunde Rare Earths Project in Malawi. The company is moving toward commissioning and targeting first monazite concentrate production before the end of 2026. Mining operations are established, with the Stage 1 pit opened, while construction continues, shifting toward mechanical installation and piping.
Why it matters
The project is advancing toward steady-state production, which validates the operational status of the rare earth project. This progress supports a controlled ramp-up toward commercial output from the facility.
