Cadence Minerals Plc (LON:KDNC) said its 70% joint venture partner in the Yangibana neodymium project, Hastings Technology Metals, has signed its third off-take agreement.
It's the third memorandum of understanding (MOU) agreement Hastings has signed with Qiandong Rare Earth Group for the future supply of mixed rare earth carbonate (MREC) from the Yangibana project in Western Australia.
The parties have agreed to talk about formalising a commercial off-take agreement for Hastings to sell 1,500 tonnes of MREC a year to Qiandong.
