Carbonatites are some of the rarest igneous rocks on the planet, comprising less than 1% of all identified igneous systems. Despite their rarity, they are highly significant in geology and resource economics.

RareX Limited (ASX: REE) has announced a major step forward in its gallium re-assaying program at the Cummins Range carbonatite pipe, delivering the widest high-grade gallium intercept recorded at the project to date (Figure 1). This milestone follows a systematic re-assay of historical drill pulps from the 2020 infill program, aimed at unlocking the full critical metals potential of the deposit alongside its established rare earths and scandium resources.
