A binding offtake term sheet for 30,000dmt of Monazite Concentrate (10,000dmt Stage 1 plus 20,000dmt Stage 2) fully allocates Kangankunde Stage 1 capacity ahead of first production in December 2026, with first sea freight from Nacala Port in January 2027. Locking in diversified, market-linked-priced customers with 45,000dmt of Stage 2 volumes de-risks future revenue and supports the shares.

Catalysts
  • ▲ Binding offtake term sheet for 30,000dmt executed with a major rare earths refining group
  • ▲ First container sea freight from Nacala Port in January 2027, monthly deliveries thereafter
Risk Factors
  • ▼ The counterparty is not named, only described, and the term sheet is a term sheet rather than a fully executed long-form offtake agreement
  • ▼ First production is still ahead (December 2026), so execution and delivery risk remains before revenue starts
