REE<br />
Mount Weld — a new supply of<br />
rare earths to the world!<br />
Ambassador (Mulga Rock) uranium<br />
— 3% of projected revenue from<br />
by-product REE<br />
Western Australia has great<br />
exploration potential for REE in:<br />
Carbonatite and alkaline to peralkaline ring<br />
complexes<br />
Alluvial placers and heavy mineral sands<br />
Ash-flow tuffs erupted from the volatile-rich<br />
roof zone of magma chambers<br />
Olympic Dam style deposits of iron oxide–<br />
copper–gold (IOCG)<br />
Hydrothermal quartz veins<br />
Sandstone-hosted detrital monazite<br />
Sandstone-hosted U–REE<br />
Ion absorption clays associated with laterite<br />
