About the company

Lindian Resources is an ASX-listed rare earths company whose flagship asset is the Kangankunde Rare Earths Project. The company has an existing diversified customer base, with offtake arrangements previously announced with Iluka Resources in Australia and Carester in France.

Binding offtake term sheet announced on 10 November 2026

Lindian Global Rare Earths Pte. Ltd. executed a binding offtake term sheet for 30,000 dry metric tonnes of monazite concentrate, covering 10,000 dmt per annum in Stage 1 and 20,000 dmt per annum in Stage 2. The company said the concentrate grades at 55% total rare earth oxide, with no deleterious elements and low levels of uranium and thorium.

Pricing is market-linked and includes freight and insurance, with upside participation in rare earth oxide price increases. The company said magnetic rare earth oxides, including neodymium, praseodymium, dysprosium and terbium, make up the majority of product revenue.

Customer Diversification and delivery timing

Together with the earlier Iluka and Carester agreements, Lindian said it has now secured 45,000 dmt for the Stage 2 expansion. It also plans to ship its first container by sea from Nacala Port in January 2027, with monthly deliveries thereafter, and it has expanded its product range to include mixed rare earths carbonate and SEGH.

Sector Context

Rare earth markets are tied to Demand for magnets used in electric vehicles, wind turbines and defence, and to the Supply of processed feedstock outside China. Multiple offtake counterparties are a common requirement for project financing in the sector.

Risks to Consider

  • The offtake is a binding term sheet, and the definitive terms and timing are still to be finalised.
  • Stage 2 volumes depend on the expansion proceeding.
  • Rare earth prices and the market-linked pricing mechanism will affect realised revenue.

What to Watch Ahead

  • Conversion of the term sheet into a definitive offtake agreement.
  • First container shipment from Nacala Port in January 2027.
  • Progress on the Stage 2 expansion and remaining Stage 2 allocation.

Final Word

Lindian's binding term sheet adds a new customer and extends its committed volumes for Kangankunde. The timing of the first shipments and the definitive agreement will be the next points to follow.
