ABOUT HASTINGS TECHNOLOGY METALS LIMITED
Hastings Technology Metals Limited is a Perth-based rare earths company focused on the development
of its flagship Yangibana Rare Earths and Niobium Project. Located in the Gascoyne region of Western
Australia, the Yangibana Project contains one of the most highly valued deposits of NdPr in the world
with an NdPr to Total Rare Earth Oxide ratio of up to 52% in some areas of the orebody.
With an initial mine life of 17 years, the Yangibana Project is expected to become a globally significant
source of NdPr, a critical component in the manufacture of permanent magnets used in advanced
technology products including electric vehicles, renewable energy, humanoid robotics, and digital
devices.
The Yangibana Project is fully permitted for imm ediate development and is well-timed to meet the
forecast supply gap for rare earth elements accelerated by the growth in electric vehicles and wind
turbines, both vital for the global energy transition. It will be developed in two stages with an initial focus
on the construction of the mine and beneficiation plant to produce 37,000 tonnes per annum 2
of mixed
rare earth concentrate. Hastings recognises in its geological model and mine plan the potential for a
multi-commodity recovery process stream which underpins the econom ic recovery of rare earth
minerals and associated critical minerals like ferro-columbite, and hafnium -enriched zircon.
