Frontier Rare Earths

Frontier Rare Earths Limited ('Frontier') (TSX: FRO) is a mineral exploration and development company that is exclusively focused on rare earth elements in Southern Africa.

Rare earth elements such as neodymium, dysprosium and terbium are critical for many high tech applications such as high strength permanent magnets used in electric motors, electric generators, wind turbines, hybrid cars, iphones and other consumer and industrial electronics. Other rare earth elements such as europium, ytterbium and gadolinium are critical elements in energy efficient lighting, plasma screens and LCD televisions. Lathanum is a critical component for batteries in hybrid and electric cars, computers and electronics and is also used as a cracking catalyst in petroleum refining.

 

Frontier’s flagship asset is the Zandkopsdrift rare earth project which is one of the largest undeveloped rare earth deposits worldwide containing approximately 950,000 tonnes TREO. The Zandkopsdrift B Zone has the highest TREO grade and the highest grade of high value HREOs of significant advanced deposits outside of China. The Company's directors, senior management and consultants have extensive experience in mining and exploration in South Africa, particularly in the Namaqualand region, which is one of the longest established mining regions in South Africa.
