Osmond Resources reports strong test results at its Spanish Orion project, showing high recovery of zircon and rare earths, supporting its potential as a key European critical minerals source ahead of a 2026 scoping study.

Osmond Resources reports positive metallurgical test results from its Orion project in southern Spain, showing 70% zircon recovery with concentrates over 50% zirconium dioxide and nearly 97% liberation. Initial monazite flotation yielded 19.4% total rare earth oxides (excluding yttrium) at 76% recovery—about a 20-fold upgrade—without optimization. Testing on titanium minerals continues. Upcoming large-scale trials on a five-tonne sample will support flowsheet development ahead of a 2026 scoping study, reinforcing the project’s potential as a key European critical minerals source.
