en.Wedoany.com Reported - Rare Earths Americas (NYSE: REA) announced Tuesday that drilling and surface sampling at its Shiloh deposit in Georgia have identified monazite-bearing sand zones and localized high-grade rare earth element (REE) mineralization, with surface samples yielding up to 44.5% total rare earth oxides (TREO).

The company received assay results from all 13 rock chip surface samples across the Newbill and Pipeline claims, showing anomalously high rare earth grades. In 2026, the company plans to complete over 20,000 meters of drilling using sonic, direct push, and diamond drilling methods to further define and expand the monazite sand potential at Shiloh. Listed on NYSE American in May, the company focuses on heavy rare earth elements used in permanent magnets and defense applications, and believes the Shiloh prospect could fundamentally reshape the U.S. rare earth supply landscape. REA stated that the monazite-rich sands may represent the source rock for mined rare earth-bearing mineral sands in the U.S. Coastal Plain. The exploration program will focus on establishing the continuity, scale, and grade distribution of REE mineralization across the property to support project evaluation and assess the potential for future resource delineation. At the Lazer Creek claims, preliminary results show mineralization encountered at multiple drill hole locations, with hole 25-DPLC-015 returning 10.84% TREO from 6.1-6.77 meters and 3.52% TREO from 7.35-8.63 meters. Additionally, drone radiometric surveys over the claims have identified additional targets along strike. Rare Earths Americas controls four exploration projects, with the most advanced being the Alpha project in Bahia, Brazil, which is undergoing engineering work for a SK-1300 preliminary assessment. REA shares closed down 3.7% on the day in New York, giving the company a market capitalization of $341.8 million.
