Rare Earths Americas has filed an SEC registration statement for an underwritten IPO on NYSE American under ticker “REA”, targeting heavy rare earths projects in the US and Brazil, with Cantor as lead bookrunner and Stifel as bookrunner alongside Canaccord Genuity and B. Riley Securities as co-managers. Proceeds are earmarked for land acquisition, drilling, metallurgical test work, permitting and SK-1300 technical report preparation at the Shiloh project in Georgia. Additional funds will support exploration, land consolidation, metallurgy, engineering and permitting at the Alpha and Constellation projects in Bahia and Minas Gerais, plus early-stage work at Homer and Liberty Peak.

Global tungsten producer Almonty Industries has shifted its corporate headquarters from Toronto to Dillon, Montana, aligning its base with the recently acquired Gentung-Browns Lake tungsten project, a former Union Carbide operation with existing water rights and pipework. The company, which restarted the Sangdong mine in South Korea in March after a 30-year hiatus to supply US markets, plans to recommence Gentung production as early as late 2026 using reconditioned plant from its Spanish operations, pending an extraction permit. The move follows a $90 million oversubscribed Nasdaq IPO and a $129 million follow-on financing, signalling a push to build a US-aligned tungsten supply chain outside China.

Omai Gold Mines has increased total resources at its past-producing Omai project in central Guyana to 8 million oz., up from 6.5 million oz., with indicated resources now 38.1 million tonnes at 2.04 g/t and inferred 106.6 million tonnes at 1.59 g/t, after 18,000 metres of drilling and updated modelling. The Wenot open-pit deposit now holds about 1.45 million oz. indicated at 1.59 g/t and 3.9 million oz. inferred at 1.33 g/t, while the Gilt Creek underground resource has grown to roughly 2.5 million oz. at 3.26 g/t. A new PEA due within three months is expected to evaluate a combined open-pit/underground operation targeting 250,000–300,000 oz. per year with a larger mill, ahead of a planned prefeasibility study and 50,000-metre drill campaign.
