The Kanyika Niobium Project is located in central Malawi, approximately 55km northeast of the regional centre of Kasangu and is secured by Large-Scale Mining Licence No. LML0216/21 which grants the Company security of tenure and the right to mine niobium, tantalum, and deleterious uranium.
mineralisa�on. Structured and progressive engineering studies have resulted in the current (JORC 2012) Mineral Resource Es�mate (refer below) and given rise to significant improvements and simplifica�ons in the process
In addi�on, Globe has undertaken substan�al metallurgical op�misa�on work and commissioned the pilot plant design work to demonstrate and further op�mise metallurgical processes. Metallurgical op�misa�ons studies have improved recoveries from 62% in 2012 to 75% today, through novel patented metallurgical processes.

The Kanyika opera�ons will produce a pyrochlore mineral concentrate that contains both niobium and tantalum in commercially valuable volumes to be shipped to a refinery for advanced processing into high purity materials.
A Mineral Resource Es�mate for the Kanyika Niobium Project under the 2012 JORC guidelines was reported to ASX on 11 July 2018 as follows:
