Description
Lindian Resources Limited (ASX:LIN) is a critical minerals company listed on the ASX and leading the development of the Kangankunde Rare Earths Project in Malawi, widely recognised as one of the most strategic and high-impact rare earth projects in the world today.
Kangankunde is fully permitted and uniquely positioned as the only rare earths project outside China scheduled to commence production in 2026. With high-grade monazite mineralisation, low radionuclide content, simple mineralogy, and a mine life exceeding 45 years, it is expected to be one of the lowest-cost rare earth operations globally.
Stage 1 production is on track, with Lindian targeting 15,300 tonnes per annum of approximately 55 percent Total Rare Earth Oxide monazite concentrate. This high-purity product is ideally suited for downstream processing into NdFeB permanent magnets, which power electric vehicles, offshore wind turbines, and advanced defense systems.
These magnets are also critical to the performance of guided missiles, drones, fighter jets, satellite systems, robotics, and medical imaging technologies, making Lindian’s product essential to both national security and industrial innovation.
Lindian is actively progressing discussions with partners in the United States to establish downstream processing capacity in North America, offering a clean, independent, and long-term supply of rare earth feedstock to Western markets.
With full permitting, strong execution capability, and strategic alignment with United States and allied government priorities, Lindian Resources is positioned to disrupt the Chinese-dominated rare earth supply chain and deliver a cornerstone solution for Western critical mineral independence.
