en.Wedoany.com Reported - Victory Metals has shipped heavy rare earth mineral concentrate to potential offtake partners in Australia, Japan, and the United States from its dedicated flotation pilot plant in Perth, Western Australia, for independent product testing.
Company CEO and Executive Director Brendan Clark stated that the pilot plant has transitioned from commissioning to stable and reliable operation, a consistency that preferred offtake partners expect. Shipping concentrate to multiple international partners for independent testing is a key commercial step in product evaluation by potential demand sources.
Independent testing allows potential offtake partners to verify the concentrate's grade, heavy rare earth distribution, and low impurity characteristics at their own facilities, a routine step in certifying new supply sources. Victory Metals believes the concentrate's high heavy rare earth content, dominated by dysprosium, terbium, and yttrium, makes it highly competitive for Western partners seeking non-Chinese critical material supplies.
The company stated it will continue offtake negotiations while advancing the pre-feasibility study for the North Stanmore heavy rare earth project, which is scheduled for completion in August.
