DRA Pacific has been chosen as the preferred EPCM contractor, preceding a series of value engineering studies and the front-end-engineering-design completed by the company over the past two years.

The contract scope will cover all aspects of the design and construction of the Yangibana processing facility, as well as associated non-process infrastructure with a capacity of producing 15,000t of Mixed Rare Earths Carbonate (MREC) per annum.
