Nordique Critical Metals reports over 95% rare-earth leaching efficiency in Kwyjibo tests

• Nordique Critical Metals achieved laboratory-scale leaching efficiencies exceeding 95% for neodymium, dysprosium and yttrium at its Kwyjibo rare-earth project in Québec.
• A revised processing flowsheet could reduce plant size, power requirements and costs, supporting targeted annual production exceeding 10,000 tonnes of rare-earth oxides.
• Process developers are evaluating overall recovery above 80%, compared with approximately 75% assumed in the 2026 preliminary economic assessment.
• The higher recovery target remains preliminary; leaching efficiency does not represent overall process recovery.
• A continuous demonstration plant is targeted to start operations in Q1 2027 to validate the revised process before feasibility-level engineering.
