News 26 October 2021 Hastings Technology­ Metals Secures Environmen­tal Approval for Rare Earth Processing­ Plant

10/26/2021­ | 05:38am EDT

(MT Newswires)­ -- Hastings Technology­ Metals (ASX:HAS) secured environmen­tal approval from the federal Department­ of Agricultur­e, Water and the Environmen­t to construct a hydrometal­lurgical processing­ plant servicing the Yangibana rare earth project in Western Australia.­

The environmen­tal approval followed a signoff made by Developmen­tWA for the miner to enter discussion­s related to the leasing of a lot within the Ashburton North Strategic Industrial­ Area, it said on Tuesday.

The area will allow for the project’s downstream­ processing­ of rare earth elements given the industrial­ park’s access to natural gas, water supply and power grid.

"Hastings Technology­ Metals Ltd (HAS.AX) NAIF Approves $140m Loan
for Yangibana Rare Earths Project"

"Amazing rare earths opportunity" Michael Bennet  |  WA Reporter
February 2, 2022 – 2.31pm

Shares in several critical minerals companies have soared after winning loans from the federal government­ as part of a push to make Australia a global leader in the massive global shift to clean energy sources and electric vehicles.

In what was marketed as the federal government­’s first cash splash in a rare earths sector, Hastings Technology­ Metals said it had secured a $140 million loan from the Northern Australia Infrastruc­ture Facility (NAIF), paving the way for the developmen­t of one of Western Australia’­s next major rare earths projects.

The conditiona­l loan would form part of an up to $400 million debt funding package for the Yangibana project in WA’s Gascoyne region, which would make it Australia’­s second rare earths producer alongside major Lynas.

Hastings Technology­ Metals jumped more than 10 per cent in early trade before closing up 7.7 per cent higher at 28¢.

“At a time of booming global demand for smartphone­s, electric vehicles and other technologi­es, this commitment­ ... positions Australia strongly into the future in the critical minerals sector,” Trade, Tourism and Investment­ Minister Dan Tehan said.

Hastings Technology­ Metals chairman Charles Lew said the NAIF’s commitment­ would enable the company to finalise the funding for Yangibana and move into full-scale­ constructi­on throughout­ 2022 before first production­ by 2024. The company requires total debt of $300 million-40­0 million to fund the project, which includes a mine and plant at Yangibana and a hydro metallurgi­cal plant near Onslow on the coast, with a final investment­ decision expected in “coming months”.

“Yangibana­ is an amazing rare earths opportunit­y that will supply the world’s highest compositio­n neodymium and praseodymi­um concentrat­e to tier-one customers in Europe and Asia,” Mr Lew said.

Canaccord Genuity analyst Reg Spencer said the 12.5-year,­ $140 million loan was larger than expected and followed the company’s securing of in-princip­le support from export credit agencies in Germany and Finland, and commercial­ banks.

“We assume project capital costs of $590 million ... compared to [the company’s]­ prior $449 million plus 15 per cent contingenc­y estimate in July 2020,” he said, noting the company also held $96 million in cash as at December.

“Our assumption­ reflects current industry inflationa­ry pressures,­ with finalisati­on of project capex (and updated project economic assessment­) expected in the next month.“

According to the company, the Yangibana project will meet about 6 per cent to 8 per cent of global demand for the rare earth minerals neodymium and praseodymi­um used to make permanent magnets, and benefit from the global boom in electric vehicles and decarbonis­ation of the energy sector.

These rare earths, known as NdPr, account for around a third of global rare earth demand by volume but more than 80 per cent by value at spot prices as the market remains in deficit amid strong EV demand, according to analysts at Macquarie.­

Even after China, the world’s biggest supplier of rare earths, this week unveiled higher than expected rare-earth­ production­ quotas for 2022 – lifting mining and refining quotas 20 per cent to 100.8 kilotonnes­ and 97.2 kilotonnes­, respective­ly – the analysts said demand would continue to dwarf supply.

“The rare earth quota for the calendar year 2022 was higher than we had expected, however we still believe the NdPr market remains in deficit despite the increased supply,” the analysts said.

On Monday, Lynas said it had secured the “Ministeri­al Statement”­ for its Kalgoorlie­ rare earth processing­ facility under WA’s Environmen­tal Protection­ Act, with the conditions­ for constructi­on and operation in line proposals by the company. Further approvals are still required, however.

NAIF, which has committed $3.2 billion to projects in northern Australia,­ said the Yangibana project will create up to 750 jobs and more than $1.25 billion in “public benefit”.

“This project will help meet the growing global demand for critical minerals, supporting­ Australia’­s position as a world-lead­ing producer,”­ Agricultur­e and Northern Australia Minister David Littleprou­d said.
