Rare Earths in Arizona North America

American Rare Earths Limited (ARR) made its mark as the only ASX-listed company with exposure to the US rare earths market following its acquisition of the La Paz Scandium and Rare Earths Project in August 2019.

Marty Weems
CEO La Paz Rare Earth
La Paz is a large tonnage, bulk deposit comprising high value, light rare earth (LREE) assemblage with the potential to be the largest rare earth project in North America.
La Paz contains very low penalty elements such as radioactive thorium and uranium, and an independent NI 43-101 report and resource estimate was completed in 2011.
The project benefits from excellent local infrastructure – electricity, water, gas – as well as local and federal government support in a mining friendly jurisdiction.
