LNR is chasing a rare earths discovery in its maiden drill program - this comes as interest in the Gascoyne region’s rare earths potential heats up.

Dreadnought Resources 32kms to the west of LNR’s tenement has made a discovery at Yin and Hastings Technology Metals has announced the acquisition of a 22.1% shareholding in Canadian listed Neo Performance Materials Inc for C$135 million ($150M).

We like the look of the intrusive carbonatite structures LNR is targeting (yellow circles) in the below map at the Lyons project:

What’s next for LNR: We expect drilling to commence next week, and are keen to see early results.
