Sovereign Metals has signed a non-binding memorandum of understanding with Mitsui for the supply of up to 70,000 tonnes per year of natural rutile concentrate (titanium dioxide content >95%) from the Kasiya project in Malawi. The agreement provides for an initial term of four years from the planned start of production in 2030 with an option to extend for five years and is non-exclusive; pricing will be market-based. The MoU is valid for two years and is subject to existing agreements with Rio Tinto and the International Finance Corporation. » Más en de.investing.com

Sovereign Metals has produced a monazite concentrate with high heavy rare earth content from the rutile processing residues of the Kasiya project in Malawi, averaging 2.9% combined dysprosium‑terbium and 11.9% yttrium. The concentrate was recovered from material that would otherwise be discarded and is not expected to require extensive additional processing beyond the existing rutile and graphite flowsheet. The company plans further mineralogical evaluations and economic studies; high market prices and export controls from China have increased the strategic significance of the findings. » Más en de.investing.com

At Sovereign Metals’ annual general meeting in Perth, investors voted in favour of all four resolutions, including the re-election of directors Benjamin Stoikovich and Ian Middlemas (each 76% support) and the ratification of a share placement (99%). However, the remuneration report received 43% votes against and thus triggered a so‑called first strike under Australian law. Votes were taken individually; pre-submitted proxy votes made up a large portion of the total. Sovereign Metals shares are traded on the ASX, AIM and OTCQX. » Más en de.investing.com
