ASX-listed American Rare Earths (ARR) has announced that its wholly owned US subsidiary Wyoming Rare (WRI) has been granted a licence to explore by dozing at the Halleck Creek rare earths project, in Wyoming.

The licence enables WRI to conduct test mining, trenching and exploratory excavation, including collecting bulk material samples at the Cowboy State mine project area within Halleck Creek.

Bulk samples are expected to provide feedstock for future pilot plant test work at the company’s recently acquired facility in Laramie, Wyoming. This enables ARR to refine processing techniques and optimise project design.

Test mining will allow the company to procure the necessary volumes of ore to be processed at a pilot processing facility, which is a critical step in refining processing pathways and advancing toward commercial development, the company said.

“Bulk sampling can allow us to advance pilot plant testing and strengthen the technical foundation for the Cowboy State mine at Halleck Creek. This is a critical step forward as we work to unlock the project’s full potential,” said ARR CEO Chris Gibbs.

“We are committed to continue our work responsibly while meeting the highest environmental and community standards. This approval is a testament to our team’s hard work and the collaborative relationship we have built within the state of Wyoming, and demonstrates its reputation as a mining-friendly jurisdiction.”

These activities will play a crucial role in proceeding with pilot plant testing, metallurgical analysis and process optimisation, thereby laying the groundwork for future project development.
