Lindian Resources buys 51% of Kazakhstan’s rare earths plant for $15M, gaining key processing power for its Malawian ore.
Lindian Resources has acquired a 51% stake in Kazakhstan’s fully built SARECO rare earths plant for $15 million, securing a key downstream processing asset to convert its Malawian monazite concentrate into mixed rare earth carbonate by late 2026.
The deal, part of a joint venture with RA Group, avoids years of construction and hundreds of millions in costs, enabling Lindian to become one of few non-Chinese companies with integrated rare earth production.
The plant, located near Stepnogorsk with access to low-cost power and rail, is expected to process up to 12,500 tonnes annually, with testing showing high recovery rates and minimal radioactivity.
The move supports U.S.-Kazakhstan critical minerals cooperation and allows for a phosphate by-product sale.
Lindian’s share price rose up to 33% following the announcement.
