Ark Mines advances Sandy Mitchell Project with significant rare earth and mineral sands potential

Ark Mines Executive Director Ben Emery joined Steve Darling from Proactive’s OTC studio in New York City to discuss the company’s progress at its Sandy Mitchell project, a flagship mineral sands and rare earth venture. The project boasts a maiden resource of 71.8 million tons and an exploration target of 1.3 to 1.5 billion tons, making it a potentially globally significant asset.

Sandy Mitchell contains a diverse mix of valuable minerals, including zircon, ilmenite, and garnet, as well as rare earth elements such as monazite, which hosts 15 of the 17 known rare earths. A scoping study last year projected the project could generate $25–$30 million in free cash annually. Ark Mines is now advancing towards a Pre-Feasibility Study (PFS) in 2025, with a goal of expanding the JORC resource to 350 million tons and extending the mine life to 15 years.

The company is also strengthening its US partnerships to support a domestic supply chain from Australia to the United States for critical minerals. With a mining license application underway, Ark Mines anticipates transitioning into mine planning within 12 months, positioning itself as a key player in the global rare earth and mineral sands market.
