WHY INVEST IN YAAN XINKUANG?

Yaan Xinkuang has a competent management team and a strategic deposit of Critical Rare Earth Elements that is easily accessible by road. The deposit contains economically valuable grades of Neodymium, Dysprosium, Europium, Terbium, and Yttrium, all of which are in short supply and are essential for the development of technology for the green economy or the fast expanding permanent magnet market.

Investors

Our local staff has worked hard to establish strong and efficient relationships in the communities. All of these aspects contribute to our project's ability to be brought into production at minimal capital and operating expenses and on time. This is critical in a world where end-user manufacturers must balance strategic supply and environmental responsibility.

In addition to the Preliminary Economic Assessment on the Deposit, the Company has found two additional discoveries and 15 showings in close proximity to the Lushan Project that provide considerable investment upside.

Our approach is straightforward: bring in the right investment and operational partners, focus on efficient operations, and identify extra capacity through new exploration and development to deliver efficiencies and more shareholder value.
