Lion Rock Minerals Ltd (ASX: LRM) has identified a unique “monazite-enriched granite” at the Minta Est Project in Cameroon, confirming the source of heavy rare-earth mineralisation coincident with high-grade rutile zones (Figure 1). This discovery marks a significant milestone in the Company’s exploration program across its 5,000 km² tenement, establishing Minta Est as a potential district-scale source of monazite, xenotime, zircon, and rutile.

The proposed listing of Everlast Minerals Ltd (ASX: EV8) introduces investors to a company aiming to establish a presence in Bangladesh’s underexplored mineral sands sector.
