Auxico Resources is making a splash in the rare earths world by shipping monazite from the DRC

Auxico Resources Canada Inc. (CSE: AUAG) is a new entrant into the rare earth supply chain story. This year they have made 4 shipments of monazite sands concentrate from the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) totaling 720 tonnes of concentrate for a combined value of US$3.8 million. Auxico keeps 15% of this amount or US$570k and the balance going to Central American Nickel (CAN). Pierre Gauthier, a Montreal businessman, is the Chairman of Central American Nickel and Executive Director of Auxico Resources. Auxico has signed a sales agency agreement with CAN and according to their website the offtake agreement is for 5 years for a minimum amount of 18,000 tonnes of concentrate, or about 300 tonnes per month (TPM), and has a target of 1,000 TPM. The recent sale was analyzed to have approximately 60% total rare earth oxides (TREO) which is good and a Neodymium (Nd) level of 14.95% and Praseodymium (Pr) of 3.4%, which is higher than Mt. Pass levels.

Looking at the prices of Neodymium and Praseodymium from July, the sales price received is around 30% of the contained value of Nd and Pr, which is in the typical range paid by the Chinese for concentrate. No destination is indicated but China would be the logical destination. The only other places would be Energy Fuels Inc. (NYSE American: UUUU | TSX: EFR) in the USA which can handle monazite or possibly Neo Performance Materials Inc. (TSX: NEO) plant in Estonia. In the future, the Saskatchewan Research Council could also be a client once their pilot plant is completed. Since the middle of the year prices for Nd and Pr have dropped around 40%, so revenues per tonne should drop accordingly to around $4,000 per tonne. Their goal is to reach 1,000 TPM by year end, which would generate total revenues of $4 million/month or $600K USD for Auxico as its monthly 15% share.

Two recent additions to Auxico are noteworthy. Frederick Kozak became President after having been President at Appia Rare Earths & Uranium Corp. (CSE: API | OTCQX: APAAF). He replaces Pierre Gauthier who had been Chairman and CEO. Also added to the board was Melissa Sanderson, a leader in ethically sustainable growth and previously served as a senior diplomat, including as Charge d’Affaires of the US Embassy in Kinshasa, DRC, so she brings on the ground experience to Auxico as it deals with ethically sourcing concentrate from North Kivu, DRC cooperatives. Melissa sits on the Board of the Critical Minerals Institute.

Auxico is also involved in projects in South America. Of note is the Massangana tin tailings project. In June of this year, Auxico announced an agreement with Cooperativa Estanifera de Mineradores da Amazônia Legal Ltda. (“CEMAL”) concerning the production of tin, niobium and rare earths from the Massangana tailings estimated to contain 30,000,000 tonnes in the State of Rondônia, Brazil. As some of you know I am a fan of tailings as a source of critical minerals as the heavy lifting has already been done to get the material out of the ground. This deposit has 30 million tonnes of tailings. A study done by the German Mineral Resources Agency and the Geological Survey of Brazil indicates that three types of products could be generated from the tin tailings: (A) a monazite concentrate; (B) a columbite Concentrate; and, (C) a cassiterite concentrate. According to their press release the following concentrates can be produced:

The TREO level in the tailings is better than some greenfield mines being promoted currently.

As noted in Auxico’s June press release a feasibility study is to be done to process 3 million tonnes per year which would give a project life of 10 years. The objective of this project is to produce 135,000 tonnes of monazite concentrate per year, 19,500 tonnes of cassiterite concentrate (tin), and 45,000 tonnes of columbite concentrate (50% niobium + 5% tantalum). If the monazite concentrate is 37% as noted above, this would produce 50,000 TPY of TREO, which is significant as this would be around 25% of the current world production, which I estimate at 175-200,000 TPY. The tin output would be around 10,000 TPY in a market which in 2019 was estimated at 310,000 tonnes, so it will not have a large impact in the market. The columbite would generate over 22,000 tonnes in a market which last year Statistica estimated at 75,000 tonnes. The largest Niobium producer is CBMM which is also based in Brazil.

Auxico uses a separation and recovery technology called Ultrasound Assisted Extraction (UAEx), which has been proven successful at recovering rare earths as well as other critical minerals.

Overall, Auxico has a lot to watch on multiple fronts.

Frederick Kozak of Auxico Resources talks about the economic war for critical minerals

In this InvestorIntel interview, host Tracy Weslosky talks to Auxico Resources Canada Inc.’s (CSE: AUAG) new President and CEO Frederick Kozak about the importance of securing reliable western supply sources of critical minerals and Auxico’s progress in developing its monazite projects.

In the interview, which can also be viewed in full on the InvestorIntel YouTube channel (click here to access InvestorChannel.com), Frederick tells Tracy, “I don’t think the world fully appreciates that we are in a full-blown economic war for critical materials,” with China dominating the critical materials sector. Auxico is pursing projects in other countries, like the DRC and Brazil. “We are sales agent for our sister company Central American Nickel which is currently producing monazite from the Democratic Republic of Congo,” he says in the interview. “Within 2 years, 18 months, I’m going to be able to also deliver monazite from Brazil from processing tin tailings,” he continued, “and then secondly I’m also going to be able to deliver monazite from Colombia.” He also discusses Auxico’s advantage in having a monazite deposit that is low to non-radioactive, eliminating one of the biggest problems in processing.

With a NI 43-101 technical report being prepared for its Brazil project and an updated one for the company’s Colombia property, Frederick goes on to say that he and Auxico are looking forward to meeting increasing demands for rare earths and other critical minerals. “The governments around the world are are getting going, but there is some inertia. I’m doing it now because I’m not waiting for the governments of the world to say: ‘Oh we have a problem.’ We know we have a problem and I’m going to be part of the solution.”

Auxico Resources adds rare earths experience to the top with new president and board member

Massive deposits of rare earths – the key component in electric vehicle production, permanent magnets, alternative energy and other green technologies – are located in Africa and South America that may be otherwise overlooked. Auxico Resources Canada Inc. (CSE: AUAG) is a Canadian company specializing in producing rare and critical minerals. Auxico is poised to be one of the largest suppliers of these materials outside of China. Auxico is the exclusive trade agent for rare earth concentrates from the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). In addition, Auxico also has joint ventures with companies or owns mineral rights in Colombia, Bolivia, and Brazil. Overall, the company has access to nearly 4 million tonnes of these minerals, making it a significant player in the global market.

This week Auxico announced a change in executive leadership and the addition of a new Board member. Frederick Kozak took over as president and Chief Executive Officer of Auxico as of September 6th. Kozak was previously the president of Appia Rare Earths & Uranium Corp. (CSE: API | OTCQX: APAAF), which on his departure announced that Appia CEO Tom Drivas will assume the role of interim president pending the appointment of a new president.

Pierre Gauthier had led Auxico as CEO and Executive Chairman since the company’s inception. Gauthier will remain a key part of the company as a director and remain CEO and Chairman of Central America Nickel. This leadership change announcement took some by surprise, but based on Kozak’s previous experience, it looks like a good fit for Auxico considering its long-term focus on its mineral rights in Colombia, Bolivia, and Brazil. Kozak has a long history and deep understanding of South America’s rare earth industry and capital markets. Early in his career he built a reputation as an analyst of public companies in Colombia and for his regional reports on Colombia, Argentina, and other regions.

Later in his career, as VP of Arrow Exploration Corp, Kozak worked on analyzing and modeling asset potential of oil property acquisitions from an existing producer in Colombia. Kozak also has extensive consulting experience, working with clients from all over the world, including South America. The experience working in capital markets and rare earths should help Auxico navigate the complexities of the rare earths market.

At the same time Auxico also announced that they had appointed Melissa Sanderson, regular InvestorIntel contributor, to their Board of Directors. Sanderson is also a good fit for Auxico’s board of directors. For years she served as a senior diplomat and the Charge d’Affaires at the US Embassy in Kinshasa, Democratic Republic of the Congo. She also has more than 30 years of experience in mining, business, and government relations. She currently is a Professor of Practice at the Thunderbird School of Global Management in Arizona. As VP International at Freeport-McMoRan she coordinated Freeport’s environmental, social and governmental functions in Peru and Chile, as well as the DRC. Melissa is the recipient of numerous awards, including the U.S. State Department Superior Honor Award and inclusion in the Who’s Who of American Women Bankers. This experience will help Auxico drive operational improvements in both North America and the DRC.

As a recognized expert in ESG and founder of Ethically Sustainable Growth (ESG+), Sanderson can bring her extensive knowledge of local community and government relations to improving operations and sustainability to Auxico as the rare earth industry continues to navigate the complex and changing environmental requirements.

These new leadership positions could have a positive impact on how Auxico manages its extensive operations throughout the world. Kozak and Sanderson bring the extensive operational expertise and rare earth knowledge to Auxico that is needed to capitalize on their assets.




Rare Earths and the Challenges of Building a Domestic EV Material Supply Chain

In this InvestorIntel PDAC 2022 Panel on rare earths and “Building the EV Material Supply Chain”, host Byron W King is joined by Search Minerals Inc.‘s (TSXV: SMY | OTCQB: SHCMF) President, CEO, and Director Greg Andrews, Appia Rare Earths & Uranium Corp.‘s (CSE: API | OTCQX: APAAF) President Frederick Kozak, Avalon Advanced Materials Inc.‘s (TSX: AVL | OTCQB: AVLNF) President, CEO and Director Don Bubar, and Vital Metals Limited‘s (ASX: VML | OTCQB: VTMXF) Managing Director Geoff Atkins.

In the video, which can also be viewed in full on the InvestorIntel YouTube channel (click here), the panel discusses whether there is enough rare earths supply to meet the future demand for electric vehicles. Vital Minerals’ Geoff Atkins talks about the shift from government pressure to move to electric vehicles to increasing consumer demand for EVs, especially outside the United States, and the different processing requirements for EV batteries and rare earths magnet components which make “just in time” supply chain inventory management impossible.

Avalon President Don Bubar notes that China’s rare earths dominance came from how “they saw before anyone in the West how you have to create the downstream manufacturing and processing capacity in order to justify creating the primary supply, and that’s a foreign concept to the traditional mining industry here in Canada.” Greg Andrews agrees that the challenge is “trying to create rare earths industry in Canada that doesn’t exist,” but as Appia president Frederick Kozak points out, the new Saskatchewan rare earths processing facility makes domestic processing more attractive “as opposed to having to ship it to China for processing.”

Frederick Kozak of Appia Rare Earths & Uranium talks about new REE discoveries at Alces Lake

In this InvestorIntel interview with host Tracy Weslosky, Appia Rare Earths & Uranium Corp. (CSE: API | OTCQB: APAAF) President Frederick Kozak talks about the discovery of a significant new mineralized zone at its Alces Lake rare earths property.

In the interview, which can also be viewed in full on the InvestorIntel YouTube channel (click here), Frederick discusses how Appia’s drill program identified the continuity of shallow high-grade REE mineralization at their WRCB Area with a strike length of approximately 100 metres and consistently strong assay values. The new discovery of the massive AMP Zone has revealed it is large and continuous across all of the WRCB area and open along strike. Frederick also tells InvestorIntel that Appia is currently in the middle of the largest ever drilling program at its Alces Lake property, as well as on “another project that’s a kilometer and a half away that looks like something similar to the AMP Zone but much, much thicker…”

Frederick also talks about Appia’s five uranium projects and their upcoming appearance at PDAC.
