This from the RNS back in February
‘ Weardale will now seek to advance the development of the site, with the pilot stage of the development expected to be completed in 18 to 24 months.’
So, given there has actually been no news at all since this was issued I would guess production, as is always the case in the uk, is going to be delayed rather significantly. 2026 was incredibly optimistic and I think a more realistic timescale would be late 2027 or early 2028. They still don’t have the funding from either the uk govt or private sector in place and so next to nothing will be have taken place over this last 9 months. Remember, this is ‘CRITICAL’ minerals and it’s the UK! Oh and Weardale’s project is in the north. I don’t think we’ll hear anything now until well into 2026 regarding funding and then 2 yrs to fully develop the site and get to production in 2028/2029.
