Northern Minerals’ George Bauk on being the only producer of heavy rare earths outside of China

“We started back in 2010, a greenfield discovery, and in December of last year we put out our first product. Shipped mixed rare earth carbonate out of our Browns Range Project in Western Australia. So a long journey but a rewarding one…” States George Bauk, Managing Director and CEO of Northern Minerals Limited (ASX: NTU), in an interview with InvestorIntel’s Tracy Weslosky.

Tracy Weslosky: Would you like to give a bit of an overview on what Northern Minerals is in this market place?

George Bauk: We started back in 2010, a greenfield discovery, and in December of last year we put out our first product. Shipped mixed rare earth carbonate out of our Browns Range Project in Western Australia. So a long journey but a rewarding one. Hopefully we will see some changes in process going forward.

Tracy Weslosky: Many of you might not be aware of the fact that there is no other heavy rare earth producers outside of China besides Lynas. Is that correct? And now its you.

George Bauk: Lynas being light and ours being heavy, so absolutely yes. If you think about it Western Australia is the only mining jurisdiction for rare earths at the present moment outside of China……to access the complete interview, click here.
