Short Description.

Ngualla Rare Earth Project (the Project) is one of the world’s largest and highest-grade undeveloped neodymium (Nd) & praseodymium (Pr) rare earth projects.

The Project is centered on the Ngualla Carbonatite in southern Tanzania, 147 km from the city of Mbeya on the edge of the East African Rift Valley.

The project Definitive Feasibility Study (DFS) completed in 2017 determined the Eastern Access Road was the best option for the project. Peak has subsequently made the decision to reconsider the Southern Access Road for the Ngualla Rare Earth project due to its importance to the local community and governmental considerations.
