🚨
$PNN delivers the highest-grade REE assays to date from Santa Anna, Brazil 🇧🇷🔥
Power Minerals (ASX:
$PNN ) has released results from historic EDEM drilling at its Santa Anna Niobium–REE–Gallium Project, and the numbers are nothing short of spectacular .
These assays exceeded previous test limits and now confirm world-class REE grades, reinforcing Santa Anna’s status as a tier-1 critical minerals project in the making.
📊 Highlight Results – New Peak Grades
14m @ 17,944ppm TREO (1.79%) from surface to EOH (MN-AC-007)
incl. 5m @ 28,516ppm (2.85%) TREO from 1m
incl. 1m @ 62,027ppm (6.20%) TREO with 0.76% NdPr from 4m
51m @ 11,641ppm TREO (1.16%) from surface to EOH (MN-RC-009)
incl. 3m @ 42,592ppm (4.26%) TREO from 6m
incl. 1m @ 55,004ppm (5.50%) TREO from 8m
incl. 6m @ 30,100ppm (3.01%) TREO from 28m
incl. 1m @ 52,866ppm (5.29%) TREO from 28m
These intercepts now set the record highest grades for Santa Anna:
1m @ 6.20% TREO from 4m
1m @ 5.50% TREO from 8m
1m @ 5.29% TREO from 28m
⚡ Why This Matters
Confirms that initial assays understated REE grades due to laboratory detection limits — true values are significantly higher.
Exceptional proportions of Nd Pr magnet REEs, critical for EVs, turbines, and defence.
Adds further confidence in Santa Anna’s dual mineralisation system:
Near-surface clay-hosted REEs at ultra-high grades
Deeper niobium REE zones extending into fresh rock.
With Power already holding 100% rights over the 17.05km² complex, the company has full control over an underexplored, large-scale system.
🌍 Strategic Potential
Santa Anna now boasts some of the highest-grade REE intercepts reported on the ASX.
~89% of the complex remains untested, pointing to enormous growth potential.
Niobium assays also remain strong, with previous results up to 10,117ppm Nb₂O₅ providing additional strategic value.
If ongoing leach tests confirm ionic clay REE characteristics,
$PNN could become the cheapest ionic REE play on the ASX, with simplified processing routes and strong economics.
✅ Takeaway: With assays now confirming REE grades above 6% TREO in intervals, alongside strong niobium, gallium upside, and ionic clay potential,
$PNN ’s Santa Anna Project is rapidly emerging as one of the most exciting and undervalued critical mineral stories on the ASX.
