SP Angel Initiates Research Coverage

 

Harena Rare Earths Plc (LSE: HREE, OTCQB: CRMNF), the rare earths company focused on the Ampasindava ionic clay rare earth project in Madagascar (the "Ampasindava Project"), notes the publication of a research initiation report by its broker, SP Angel Corporate Finance LLP ("SP Angel").

 

SP Angel has initiated coverage on the Company with a Buy recommendation and a target price of 9.4p per share.

 

Research Highlights:

 

·
The Ampasindava Project is a large-scale ionic clay rare earth project hosting a JORC Mineral Resource Estimate of approximately 699Mt at 868ppm TREO.
·
The Ampasindava Project is positioned as a potential scalable ex-China source of high-value magnet rare earth oxides, including neodymium, praseodymium, dysprosium and terbium, which are critical for electric vehicles, renewable energy, advanced manufacturing and defence.
·
Rare earth supply remains highly concentrated, with >60% of upstream supply and >90% of downstream processing controlled by China, highlighting growing Western supply chain security concerns.
·
Discussions are underway with the U.S. International Development Finance Corporation (DFC) regarding a potential initial commitment of up to US$5M, with scope for broader project-level support.
·
Near-term catalysts over the next 24 months include Exploitation Licence conversion (1H 2026), DFS completion (2026), potential government funding update (2026), demonstration plant validation (2026-27), and potential strategic/offtake agreements ahead of a targeted Final Investment Decision in 2027.

 

 

SP Angel's valuation analysis estimates the Ampasindava Project's post-tax NPV10 at approximately US$200M under base case pricing, increasing to US$510M under spot pricing assumptions, suggesting the Company is currently trading at approximately 0.1x P/NAV, reflecting strong upside potential.

Notes to editors

 

Harena (www.harenaresources.com) is a rare earths exploration and development company focused on the Ampasindava Ionic Clay Rare Earth Project in Madagascar (Harena's interest is 100%). The project hosts one of the largest ionic clay rare earth deposits outside of China, with significant concentrations of high-value magnet metals, specifically heavy rare earths, including neodymium (Nd), dysprosium (Dy), and praseodymium (Pr), which are critical for the composition of neodymium magnets (NdFeB). Harena is committed to low-impact, high recovery mining, providing a sustainable supply of critical minerals for the global energy transition and military defence industries as well as meeting the ever-growing demand for NdFeB from the robotics sector.
