**Rainbow Rare Earths Ltd** (LON:RBW) CEO Martin Eales talks to DirectorsTalk about
the identification of four large and highly prospective anomalies. Martin talks 
us through the findings, explains why they are an exciting find, talks us through
the next steps and updates us on first production and sales.

 

The focus for Rainbow Rare Earths Ltd is the Gakara Project in Burundi, one of the
highest-grade (47%-67% Total Rare Earth Oxide) rare earths projects globally. The
Company has raised US$8 million to fast-track the fully permitted Gakara Project
to production ahead of targeted first sales of concentrate by the end of 2017. Rainbow
has a ten-year distribution and offtake agreement with multinational thyssenkrupp
Raw Materials secured for the sale of at least 5,000 tpa of concentrate produced.
The Gakara basket is weighted heavily towards the magnet rare earths, including 
neodymium and praseodymium, which are driving demand and account for 70% of annual
global REE sales due to their use in vital components in motors, generators, wind
turbines, and electric vehicles.
