American Rare Earths CEO Mark Wall joined Steve Darling from Proactive’s OTC studio in New York City to discuss the strategic importance and long-term potential of the Halleck Creek rare earths project in Wyoming, positioning it as a cornerstone for domestic U.S. supply. Wall described the project’s scale as extraordinary, noting, “It’s 2.5 billion tons of ore, with a B, which is a lot.” He compared Halleck Creek to large, long-life copper porphyry systems, highlighting its low strip ratio of 0.16 and near-surface mineralisation, making it “very, very simple to mine.” He emphasised that the asset has the potential to act as “the strategic anchor to United States rare earths supply domestically for many, many, many years.” Current estimates suggest around 100 years of supply, though Wall noted this is a conservative figure. At a lower cut-off grade of 1,000 ppm, the resource could extend beyond 400 years, with the ore body remaining open both at depth and laterally. Looking ahead to 2026, the company plans several key milestones, including completion of the pre-feasibility study (PFS), commencement of the feasibility study, submission of the state permit, and ongoing engagement in Washington, DC to reinforce the project’s strategic significance. Halleck Creek hosts both heavy and light rare earths, including terbium, dysprosium, and samarium, elements critical for defence and advanced technology applications. Combined with Wyoming’s supportive infrastructure, permitting framework, and collaboration with the University of Wyoming on potential industrial uses for engineered sand by-products, Wall positioned Halleck Creek as a major domestic rare earth opportunity that could strengthen U.S. supply chain independence. #proactiveinvestors #americanrareearths #asx #arr #otcqx #arrnf #HalleckCreek #RareEarths #USMining #WyomingMining #CriticalMinerals #HeavyRareEarths #LightRareEarths #EnergyTransition #DefenseMetals #MiningInvestment #StrategicMetals #PFS #FeasibilityStudy #USSupplyChain
