Lindian Resources Kangankunde Project rare earths monazite concentrate mining construction

Lindian Resources is advancing construction at its Kangankunde Rare Earths Project in Malawi, with the company targeting first monazite concentrate production in December 2026.

Key operational milestones include the installation of the regrind mill and the completion of approximately 90% of structural steel in the wet high-intensity magnetic separation (WHIMS) and magnetic gravity separation (MGS) areas. Shaking tables are reported to be 80% complete. On the power infrastructure side, a 33kV overhead line has been commissioned to the transformer yard, and site energisation is scheduled for the first week of November 2026.

Ore stockpiles have grown to approximately 149,000 tonnes, representing a 19% increase from September 2026. The Kangankunde project is noted for its significant scale, containing a 261-million-tonne resource with a total rare earth oxide grade of 2.19%.
