Royalty Management Holding Corporation (Nasdaq: RMCO) has announced the results of an expanded sampling program at its T.R. Mining & Equipment portfolio in Jamaica, revealing the presence of valuable rare earth elements (REEs) in addition to previously identified titanium and vanadium. This discovery underscores the site's potential as a low-cost source of critical minerals essential for modern technology and green energy solutions.
The sampling program, conducted on a special exclusive prospecting lease in Jamaica, identified REEs used in the production of rare earth magnets. These magnets are pivotal in manufacturing electric vehicles, wind turbines, defense equipment, and high-tech consumer electronics. The findings suggest that the site contains 213 million tons of raw feedstock, with REEs adding significant value to the already known deposits of iron ore, titanium, and vanadium.
Thomas Sauve, CEO of Royalty Management, highlighted the economic viability of the project, noting the simple mining method and the potential for low-cost extraction. The company plans to employ local personnel in Jamaica to separate and concentrate these valuable minerals, with Royalty Management receiving a 10% royalty on sales. This initiative not only promises to bolster the local economy but also positions Jamaica as a key player in the global supply chain of critical minerals.
