en.Wedoany.com Reported - Critica has reported that the third batch of high-purity mixed rare earth oxides (MREO) produced from its Jupiter rare earth project, located 250 kilometers east of Geraldton in Western Australia, achieved a total rare earth oxide (TREO) content of approximately 97%.

The company stated that this represents a "significant step-change improvement" in product quality compared to the previous two test batches, which yielded 84% and 86% TREO respectively.

Test results also showed improved recoveries for neodymium, praseodymium, dysprosium, terbium, and other magnetic rare earth elements, with strong overall total rare earth recovery rates.

Chief Executive Officer Jacob Deysel said: "Achieving 97% TREO in the third batch of MREO marks a major advancement in product quality and clearly demonstrates that the Jupiter project can produce high-purity rare earth products through the hydrometallurgical flowsheet."

He added: "Crucially, the magnetic rare earth recoveries achieved in this test work have reached levels sufficient to underpin the project's economics, and these data will be directly utilized in the scoping study currently underway in collaboration with Sedgman."

The company plans to continue optimization work to achieve subsequent development and commercialization milestones.

Critica is an exploration company focused on clay-hosted rare earth element (REE) resources and magnetic rare earth inventories, with assets primarily located in Western Australia and Tasmania.
