Astron Corporation limited: Donald Project JV & REEC Offtake MoU

Dec 28, 2023

Astron Corporation Limited (ASX: ATR) and Energy Fuels Resources (USA) Inc. agree on nonbinding MoU for joint development of Victoria's Donald Rare Earths and Mineral Sands Project. The MoU plans an Australian Joint Venture with Phase 1 targeting 200,000 to 250,000 tonnes/year of HMC and 7,000 to 8,000 tonnes/year of REEC, followed by Phase 2 to double production. Energy Fuels will invest AU$180 million for a 49% interest. They'll have offtake rights for 100% of REEC, and Astron retains an option for HMC offtake.

The exclusivity period until March 2024 allows for due diligence and agreement finalization, potentially extending by mutual consent. Additionally, Energy Fuels gains first refusal for involvement in Astron's Jackson Deposit development, contributing to establishing a Western rare earth value chain. The initiative aligns with Australia's Critical Minerals Strategy by supplying rare earths to Energy Fuels' North American processing sites.
