What's Happening?
Kendrick Resources, a London-listed mineral exploration company, has completed an internal review of its rare earth targets at the Teufelskuppe and Kieshöhe projects in Namibia. The review, conducted under a 70% earn-in agreement with Bonya Exploration,
identified substantial potential resources on both properties. Kendrick plans to produce a maiden resource by the end of the third quarter and optimize a metallurgical flowsheet.
