Tantalus Rare Earths  

Tantalus Rare Earths is a German incorporated holding company whose subsidiaries are engaged in the exploration and development of rare earths.

TRE’s shares are quoted on the Open Market of the Frankfurt Stock Exchange. TRE’s principal asset is an exploration project located in north-western Madagascar and comprises rare earth-tantalum-niobium-zirconium-hafnium enriched dykes and sills and Rare Earth Element (“REE”) bearing argillaceous laterites derived from the weathering of underlying alkaline intrusives.

There are numerous indications that most of the alkaline intrusive bodies within the concession are overlain by REE bearing argillaceous laterites. TRE is therefore considering the whole area underlain by alkaline intrusives (150 to 170 sq km) as prospective for secondary REE mineralisation in the  weathering crust. The exploration program aims to define the primary (vein/skarn hosted) and secondary (argillaceous laterites) mineralisation present on the concession towards a NI 43-101 compliant mineral resource estimate and support a detailed feasibility study towards mine development and production.
