Background

Peak Resources’ (ASX: PEK, ‘Peak’) 100% owned Ngualla Project in southern Tanzania is a large, high grade rare earth discovery with the maiden Mineral Resource announced on 29th February 2012. Ngualla ranks as the fifth largest rare earth deposit outside of China and the highest grade of the seven largest deposits. Rare earth mineralisation occurs as a thick blanket at surface and favourable bastnaesite mineralogy supports the potential for a relatively simple processing route.
