Why Lofdal matters for comparing with Altona
When Altona reported that its new HREE results were “of the same order of magnitude as Lofdal,” this was a big statement because:
Lofdal is the gold standard for HREE projects outside China
It is one of the few projects with proven metallurgy for HREE extraction
It has government‑backed strategic funding
It is Dy/Tb-rich, the exact metals the world is short of
If Altona’s Python target ultimately shows similar HREE grades and recoverability, it would place Monte Muambe in a very elite category.
