"About us

Harena Resources is a private Australian natural resources company that is strategically positioned to supply critical rare earths into Western supply chains for renewable energy production.

At Harena we are focused on advancing the Ampasindava Rare Earths Ionic Clay Project in Madagascar. Ampasindava is on of the largest ionic clay deposits outside China and is development-ready. The resource is characterised by high concentrations of magnet metals.

Operating sustainably and with respect are core to how we do business. Our plans take into account Madagascar’s biologically diverse and sensitive environment and the local communities that have limited opportunities for economic advancement.

Our mining operation will be similar to earthworks utilising simple heap leach extraction methods, and we will rehabilitate as we mine. We plan to move 3-4m of topsoil and plants to the side for ~4 months to access the 5-12m clay horizon beneath. The clay will be processed on site in an environmentally contained heap leach operation, using sea water and modest pH solution to extract the valuable rare earths. The high value, low volume concentrate will be shipped from existing port infrastructure. Washed waste will refill the cavity with the topsoil and plants returned.

The project will employ local community members, many of whom have worked in the mining industry for years. Local communities and Madagascan Authorities are supportive of Harena’s Team and our plans.

Key Project Metrics:

• Ni 43-101 resource of 628mt @ 895ppm TREO prepared by SGS Canada, and updated in March 2022

• Behre Dolbear independently valued the project at US$48.1m (Circa A$70m) in September 2017 and rare earth prices have significant appreciated since then.

• Mine life 50 years +

Pre-IPO Plans

• Convert Ni-101 to JORC 2012, a view to high-grade production for the first 10 to 15 years of operation

• Re-do the valuation using 2023 rare earths prices"

"51 views 10 Jan 2025

Harena Resources listing on the UK stock market shortly are advancing the Ampasindava Rare Earths Ionic Clay Project in Madagascar. Ampasindava is one of the most significant Ionic Clay Rare Earths deposits in the world outside of China and Harena is moving quickly to develop this resource."

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rBXcQ7v4VJE

Rainbow Rare Earths (RBW) is a good comparator for Harena Resources.

And over the last five years RBW's s.p. has c. four-bagged: from c. 2.5p to 10.375p, market cap. £66.3M.

And indeed RBW topped 20p in early 2021.

https://www.rainbowrareearths.com/

"Maybe you could share with those same investors evidence of a Rare Earth Ionic Clay Project outside of China that is in production? There must be one, as you are very confident that this is a ten-bagger."

David,

Surely it should be the other way round: i.e. lack of competing rare earths projects outside of China highlight the scarcity value of Harena's planned production.

And similarly re the lack of competing rare earths investment opportunities: the only other UK listed mining stock I'm aware of with a rare earths JORC resource is RBW.

So where else are investors who want this sort of exposure going to go?

The economics of the project look attractive, so the fact that they weren't in the past - when rare earths demand and prices were much lower than now - is irrelevant.

No skin in this game. I am just attempting to pass on publically available information to prospective investors so that they don't lose out in the same way investors did when this was listed twice before.

Maybe you could share with those same investors evidence of a Rare Earth Ionic Clay Project outside of China that is in production? There must be one, as you are very confident that this is a ten-bagger.

Remember readers, D.H. also stands for "Divide by Hundred".

I.e. one part truth, 99 parts untruth.

According to D.H. apparently, the Financial Conduct Authority, and the investors of £1.35M. into CRES-Harena, have been the victims of a massive fraud here!

But not one apparently that he is making any attempt to report, as opposed to mouthing off on a bulletin board!

This is obviously a complete nonsense, and I doubt that anyone sensible will be taken in by it.

Especially considering his complete absence of any posting track record.

In contrast, CRES's CEO Cameron Pearce was also the head of shell company BRES (Blencowe Resources), which has been making impressive progress since its RTO a few years ago.

The project has lost its permit. It is held via a court-ordered pledge by a creditor, and they haven't disclosed this in the prospectus. Even if they were able to repay that creditor at a cost of Millions of Dollars, the permit lapsed in 2021 and ceased permanently in October 2024. But sure, let's talk about how many holes they have dug! The holes, btw, were a source of massive environmental complaints and featured prominently in the articles exposing the project and the documentary. that aired on national television.

davidhoyer posts: 4 price: 3.00 no opinion

re: harena today 11:19

" ...that the previous owners spent some money drilling a few holes and somehow that has value is slightly far-fetched to me! ..."

david,

the fact that you should describe a few hundred drill holes as just "a few holes" suggests that you have an agenda here to twist-misrepresent facts, and mislead people.

"harena resources all set to become london’s only listed ionic clay rare earths company

" ... that jorc 2012 compliant resource estimate followed on from around us$20 million of spend on the project, undertaken by former owners. amongst other things, work thus far completed includes 4,500 test pits and 359 drill holes. ..."

"AMPASINDAVA RARE EARTHS PROJECT

... Mineral Resource

Harena Resources, through a subsidiary Malagasy Company, Reenova Rare Earths Malagasy, holds the exploration licences grant PR 6698 in the province of Antsiranana, Madagascar. SGS Canada Inc. – Geostat Office (hereafter “SGS Geostat”) completed a resource estimate technical report for the PR 6698 licenses (“The Project”).

The AMPASINDAVA property was first recognized for hosting mineralized dykes hosting high grade Rare Earth Elements (REE) in fresh rock. REE hosted within the regolith (or soil profile) was recognized in 2012; and it has become clear that this “ionic clay” style of mineralization has the most significant economic potential. The ionic clays are the most important mineralization type due to the relatively simple process required to put the REE into solution and the fact that neither Thorium nor Uranium is concentrated through this process; this is in stark contrast to most REE deposits being developed or promoted in the western world.

More than 10 years of data has been collected by excavating shafts by hand and sampled along the depth. A total of 4474 test pits have been completed with an average depth of 5.8m with a maximum depth of 10m. The sampling methodology was validated in the field by SGS Geostat and this has produced reliable data that has been integrated into the following resource estimation. A total of 4412 pits were retained for the resource estimation along with 359 drill holes.

The updated resources estimation was constructed solely from the laterite and saprolite layers within the TRE property. REE grades were interpolated separately by ordinary kriging and blocks were cutoff based on their conceptual amenability to in-situ leaching or tank leaching.

The base case resource with tonnage and grade is presented in the Table below. ...

Approaching Proof of Concept

The Ampasindava Project has a NI 43-101 Report published for the Resource.

Some 5 stages of metallurgical testwork have been completed and a relatively simple, environmentally responsible heap leach process has resulted in highly acceptable mineral product yields into the leachate material.

The Project will now move to a Proof of Concept phase at the site while further design related study work will continue in order to finalise potential project economic and technical viability.

Harena is a private company and will seek an Initial Placement Offer at the Australian Securities Exchange during the second half of 2023. Subscribe to our email news alerts for details about the upcoming IPO and how to invest."

Looks like Harena has changed its plan, from floating in Oz, to floating in London.

But a lot of preparatory work for a float should have done done already, so hopefully the RTO into CRES will now progress swiftly.

AMPASINDAVA RARE EARTHS PROJECT

PROJECT OVERVIEW

Harena Resources is developing the 75% owned Ampasindava Ionic Clay rare earths deposit in Madagascar. The Ampasindava project is advanced and contains a defined mineral resource of 628 million tonnes at 895 ppm Total Rare Earth Oxides (TREO).

The majority of the project area is low lying with elevations ranging from sea-level to 713 m with the highest elevations found in the northwest of the project area. The most characteristic physiographical feature in the project area is a 6 km wide, circular caldera which corresponds to the southeast part of the Ambohimirahavavy igneous complex.

PROJECT LOCATION

THE MADAGASCAR OPPORTUNITY

The project concession is located in the eastern part of the Ampasindava Peninsula, Antsiranana Province on the northwest coast of Madagascar, approximately 500 km north of Madagascar’s capital city Antananarivo.

The project is located close to significant enabling infrastructure such as semi-industrial ports, an international airport at Nosy-B Island and the large regional town of Ambanja.

PROJECT HIGHLIGHTS

Characterisation of the Ampasindava Deposit

The Ambohimirahavavy igneous complex (Ampasibitika intrusion) in Madagascar hosts an exceptional rare-earth element (REE) bearing ion-adsorption clay (IAC) resource.

The ion-adsorption clays consist of aluminosilicate clay minerals (e.g. kaolinite, illite, smectite) formed through in-situ lateritic weathering of REE-rich host rocks. The Ambohimirahavavy ores are enriched with the Magnet Rare Earths, Neodymium (Nd) and Praseodymium

(Pr) or together NdPr and Dysprosium (Dy) and Terbium (Tb) or together DyTb. These natural magnet rare earth minerals, NdPr and DyTb are highly sought after for use in high specification magnets used in wind turbines, electric vehicles and other more specialised applications for military components. ..."

26th Oct 2023 9:07 am RNS Project Update

Citius Resources Plc (LSE: CRES), the London listed natural resources investment company is pleased to announce that it has entered into a binding Heads of Terms for the acquisition of 100% of the issued shares in Harena Resources Pty Ltd ("Harena") the 75% owner of the Ampasindava Rare Earths Project in Madagascar (the, "Acquisition").

Harena is an Australian domiciled company preparing to develop the 75% owned Ampasindava Rare Earths Project, which will include the mining and processing of Ionic Clay material to extract Rare Earth elements to produce Mixed Rare Earth Carbonate or Mixed Rare Earth Concentrate.

Citius has agreed to terminate its previous agreement with AUC Mining (U) Limited for the acquisition of the Kamalenge Gold Project in the Mubende Gold District, Uganda with immediate effect. The Company will remain suspended pending the publication of a prospectus providing further details on Harena and the Company as enlarged by the Acquisition, or an announcement that the Acquisition or Reverse Take Over (''RTO") is not proceeding.

Should the Acquisition complete, it would constitute an RTO under the Listing Rules and accordingly, the Company would apply for the re-admission of its shares to the Official List and the Main Market of the London Stock Exchange.

Cameron Pearce, Citius Director commented:

"The Citius board looks forward to keeping shareholders informed of further developments in what we believe is a compelling Acquisition in an exciting commodity space, as the global move towards decarbonisation gathers pace.

Citius will be working closely with Harena, which is already in an advanced RTO ready stage, to complete the due diligence and prospectus for the relisting of the company as soon as practicable." ...

https://www.lse.co.uk/rns/CRES/project-update-lxz32owbgm2rxq2.html

I'm afraid not, Goldcrusher.

Resource RTOs in foreign countries tend to take a lot longer than domestic non-resource RTOs.

BRES, Cameron Pearce's Ugandan graphite RTO, was suspended for eleven and a half months before its RTO ... though that's still four months less than CRES's current period of suspension.

CRES's Ugandan gold RTO looks very attractive though, so if it completes it should have been worth the wait.

Thanks Hedgehog100, do you know any time lines for the RTO?

Interim Management Report

Dear shareholder,

I am pleased to present the interim report and accounts for the six-month period to 31 October 2022 for Citius Resources Plc.

The Company was formed for the purpose of acquiring a natural resources asset, in June 2022 the Company agreed terms with the vendors of AUC Mining (U) Limited the holder of the Kamalenge Gold Project (the "Acquisition") which is in the Mubende Gold District in Uganda. The Company is now well progressed in its due diligence and is nearing completion of the transaction. The Kamalenge Gold Project is a highly exciting project given the exploration work to date and indications that it may host a high-grade gold project with the potential for near term production.

The Company is now well positioned to complete the Acquisition which would constitute a Reverse Take Over under the Listing Rules and accordingly, the company would apply for re-admission of its shares to the Official List and the Main Market of the London Stock Exchange.

I would like to thank the board and advisory team for all their hard work over the past six months and we look forward to further updating shareholders and the market in due course.

The BRES share price has been performing well recently, with good newsflow, moving to over 7.5p today before closing at 6.72p.

This shows that good mining stocks can still perform well in challenging market conditions, and bodes well from CRES's proposed RTO.

CRES shows the excellent gains that can be made from buying a reasonably-valued shell, with good deal prospects, and waiting patiently.

A likelihood of an immediate 50%+ gain if the RTO proceeds, which it should, and a discounted holding in what could be a very exciting and multibagging growth company.

And all it takes for investors is a little research, market timing, and a willingness to buy before the herd.

Though they can be illiquid, with micro market capitalisations, after a RTO the liquidity and markets caps. may be expected to increase markedly.

For those kicking themselves at missing out on the CRES shell opportunity, the stock market is merciful, as it always throws up fresh opportunities.

Two other very attractive shells with CRES-like potential, both with great cash underpinning, are these:-

"Citius Resources Plc, an investment company seeking to acquire a company or project in precious and/or base metals, is pleased to announce the admission of its entire issued share capital, being 43,250,000 ordinary shares of £0.005 each ("Ordinary Shares"), to the Official List (by way of a Standard Listing under Chapter 14 of the Listing Rules) and to trading on the London Stock Exchange's Main Market for listed securities (the "Admission"). The Company has raised a total of £1,120,000 since incorporation including £560,000 through a placing of 14,000,000 Ordinary Shares at 4p ("IPO Placing") by Brandon Hill Capital, broker to the Company.

CRES's CEO Cameron Pearce was also the head of shell company BRES (Blencowe Resources), which also IPOed at 4p/share.

And he arranged the RTO into BRES of the Orom-Cross Graphite Project, priced at 6p/share, with a placing at the same price, compared to the pre-existing BRES s.p. of 4.5p -

BRES then closed on 28th. April 2020 at 8p/share, and within a month had reached nearly 9p.

Potentially this BRES RTO could set a rough 'template' for CRES: as it's the same boss, the same IPO prices, the same target sector, and even the tickers (BRES & CRES) are very similar.

Poor stock market conditions tend to make it harder to IPO, increasing the attractions of the RTO route, and increasing the bargaining power of shells like CRES.

And meanwhile, the valuations of RTO targets for shells tend to be depressed.

So ironically, the s.p.s of shells like CRES can become depressed at the same time as they are in effect becoming more valuable: more capable of cutting a cracking RTO deal on great terms - i.e. a better shell valuation and lower target valuation, and great quality targets.

Which makes a shell like CRES - at a reasonable valuation re. its cash and with great deal prospects - a great place to 'park funds' at the moment.

Many investors may wish to reduce their exposure to shares in companies with trading businesses, but holding cash for months doesn't give any real direct upside - certainly in the short term.

CRES though has both some underpinning, and great potential upside - it could easily multibag from this level on a good deal.

And you don't have to worry about funds being tied up here for a while if you won't be using them anyway.

Cameron Pearce, Executive Director commented:

CRES RTO news looks like it could be very close.

CRES is currently just 3p, market cap. £1.3M., so good RTO news could provide quite an uplift here.

Mr BRES and EML at the helm.

Could get interesting not too many cash shells around anymore

this keeps on going but where will it stop!

Offer Price of 7.25p represents a 19.5 per cent. discount to the unaudited pro forma NAV per share of the Enlarged Group of 9.00p So NAV of 9p... interesting. Watching from a WRN perspective...

Good start ;-)

Terms have been agreed for a reverse takeover of Harworth Estates by Coalfield Resources, which plans to raise £115m through a placing to finance the £150m deal. Coalfield Resources said a deal was now in place with the board of the Pension Protection Fund (PPF) to acquire the 75.1 per cent of Harworth Estates Property Group that it does not already own for £150m. Harworth Estates is one of the largest property and regeneration businesses across the East Midlands, Yorkshire and the North of England, owning and/or managing a portfolio of approximately 27,000 acres across some 200 sites, valued at approximately £298.5m with net assets of about £248.6m as at 31 December 2014. Due to the historic portfolio of land the Harworth Estates Group currently holds, much of which is former colliery sites and associated land, the business has a set of specialist skills in transforming often difficult parcels of brownfield land, which frequently have environmental legacy issues requiring remediation and/or incomplete legal title, into new residential, commercial and low carbon developments. Coalfield Resources said that following completion of the reverse takeover, the enlarged group will be able to access capital on better terms than Harworth Estates Property Group has been able to do in the recent past. As such, an acceleration of existing investment opportunities is expected together with the capture of a greater portion of any uplift in value on each project, while pursuing new growth opportunities, including acquiring new land for redevelopment. The consideration for the acquisition of the 75.1 per cent stake will be satisfied by a combination of the issue of shares equating to about 25 per cent of the enlarged group to the PPF and a payment to the PPF of approximately £97m in cash. On completion of the deal, Coalfield Resources proposes that its name be changed to Harworth Group plc to reflect properly the change to its underlying operations Jonson Cox, chairman of Coalfield Resources said: "Coalfield Resources is delighted to announce this transaction with the Pension Protection Fund. It re-establishes under single ownership the property business of Harworth Estates and we welcome the PPF as a 25 per cent investor. "It will complete the transformation of the company to a specialist brownfield property developer. We will be in a strong position to take full advantage of our proven skills in the property and regeneration markets and to deliver value. I would like to thank our existing and new shareholders for their support in achieving an important milestone for the business." Andy Ward, PwC's senior partner in Sheffield, was the reporting accountant, and Nigel Ward, transaction services partner in Leeds, provided financial due diligence.

The only thing that doesn't look in our favour we own 24.9% of the business with 605,460,000 shares £43.89 Million PPF will own 25% of the business with 730,674,465 shares £52.97 Million !!

I would of hoped for a little more than 7.25p, 19.5% discount to NAV.

At the start of 2014 the shares were trading at 6.0p per share which equated to a discount to the underlying net asset value of 34%. This discount fluctuated through the year. At the point of suspension from trading on 18 November 2014, the share price was 5.4p, a discount of 43%. Whilst the discount to net asset value represents an indicator of potential impairment to the investment in Harworth Estates, the Directors are confident that the carrying amount of the investment does not exceed its recoverable amount and therefore no impairment is required

Based on these results I'm going to have to raise my price target Shame there was no mention of the refinancing. 9.7p NAV :-)
