STRATEGY AND OUTLOOK Arafura’s primary focus is to develop its 100% - owned Nolans Project. The Company has recently completed a review of the Nolans Project f l owsheet and the OPEX and CAPEX estimates . The Company has consistently and successfully worked to achieve material reductions in the Nolans Project OPEX and CAPEX estimates over the past 18 months to enhance its viability and competitiveness. The Company has i n place a viable and preferred proce ss flowsheet and is now seeking to build on and further im p rove the Project economics through the optimisation program. The Company has engaged with a number of Chinese rare earth experts for the review and optimi s ation of its flow s heet. Global d emand out look for many rare earth products remains strong. Key drivers for growth are the renewable energy, automotive and electronic sectors . Supply will be constrained for most rare earth products due to Chinese industry consolidation and export restrictions , and long development times for non - Chinese rare earth projects . The advanced development status of the Nolans Project means it is well placed to capitalise on this forecast supply shortfall. The outlook for growth in demand for magnet feed material is pa rticularly high . N eodymium is a critical rare earth for high performance advanced magnets in hybrid electric motors and wind turbines and is a high value product . The Nolans Project is comparatively enriched in neodymium and will derive a substantial prop ortion of its revenue from rare earth products whose target markets have substantial growth prospects. http://www.asx.com.au/asxpdf/20140430/pdf/42pbdtgw9875xx.pdf |
