Lindian Resources has started early-stage works at the Kangankunde Rare Earths Project in Malawi, marking a major development milestone. This rare earth deposit is among the world’s most significant, with high-grade rare earth oxide (REO) content and low impurity levels.
Key Infrastructure Advancements Underway
Lindian confirmed the launch of several early site works, including earthworks, plant area clearing, and support infrastructure. These initial tasks cover product storage zones, equipment laydown areas, and management offices, preparing the site for full construction.
In February 2025, Lindian began building a 5km access road. Notably, the roadwork is ahead of schedule. The company expects to complete this phase by Q2 2025, enabling a smooth transition to the next construction stage.
As a result, the company is confident that Stage 1 construction will begin in the first half of 2025, as planned.
Commitment to Community and Execution Excellence
Lindian has made local workforce engagement a top priority. Over 70% of current site roles are held by Malawian workers. In addition, Lindian launched training programs to expand skills and promote long-term employment in the area.
Moreover, the company continues to work closely with local communities. These efforts aim to support small businesses and provide sustainable benefits across the region.
Zac Komur, Chair of Project Delivery, praised the project’s progress. He noted Lindian’s commitment to urgency, efficiency, and best-practice execution. He also highlighted the importance of skilled contractors and strong management in reducing costs and time.
Looking ahead, Lindian continues discussions around project financing while maintaining rapid development momentum. Stay informed on rare earths and metals through SuperMetalPrice, your source for real-time updates and expert analysis.
