Si6 Metals has been granted a second licence at its Caldera rare earths joint venture in Minas Gerais, adding 54 square kilometres inside the Poços de Caldas Alkaline Complex and bordering Meteoric Resources' Caldeira project. A 10-hole auger program will run across the new ground at 150m spacings, working concurrently with a 26-hole campaign on the existing southern Caldera licence to test the depth of anomalous rare earths results already returned from surface sampling. Earlier sampling produced results up to 933ppm total rare earth oxides with roughly 24% high-value magnet rare earths, and four results in the eastern portion averaging 843ppm — with neodymium and praseodymium making up an average 94% of the magnet component.

Si6 grabs hot rare earths land in BrazilSi6 Metals has secured a second license at its JV Caldera rare earths project in the mining region of Minas Gerais in Brazil and will charge a drill-rig into the area to kick-off its latest program. The newly granted land borders that of Meteoric Resources exciting Caldeira rare earths project, where high-grade ionic-clay rare earths have been discovered at grades that are generally considered to be amongst the best in the clay based rare earths sector.https://www.businessnews.com.au/article/Si6-grabs-hot-rare-earths-land-in-Brazil
