About

Rainbow Rare Earths aims to be a forerunner in the establishment of an independent and ethical supply chain of the rare earth elements that are driving the green energy transition and other advanced future-facing technologies.

It is doing this successfully via pioneering the first commercial recovery of rare earth elements from phosphogypsum that occurs as the by-product of phosphoric acid production.  These projects eliminate the cost and risk of mining, meaning that they can be brought into production quicker and at a lower cost than traditional hard rock mining projects.

The Company is developing the Phalaborwa Project in South Africa and the earlier stage Uberaba Project in Brazil. Rainbow’s process is expected to deliver separated rare earth oxides through a single hydrometallurgical plant on site, with a focus on the recovery of neodymium, praseodymium, dysprosium and terbium. These are critical components of the high-performance permanent magnets used in electric vehicles, wind turbines, defence and exciting new markets primed for exponential growth such as robotics and advanced air mobility.
