Frontier Rare Earths
Frontier Rare Earths (TSX: FRO) is an exploration and development company principally focused on rare earth elements in Southern Africa.
Frontier’s flagship asset is the Zandkopsdrift rare earth deposit, which is located in the Northern Cape Province of South Africa and is one of the largest, code compliant rare earth deposits under development worldwide.
Zandkopsdrift’s favourable location and geological setting are expected to provide significant advantages in relation to capital costs, operating costs and development time compared to other rare earth projects currently being evaluated, and makes Frontier well positioned to become one of the largest western producers of separated rare earth oxides globally.
