Steenkampskraal Holdings, which owns the Steenkampskraal monazite mine (SMM), in the Western Cape, reports that the National Nuclear Regulator (NNR) has accepted the mine's authorisation change request for prospective worker safety assessment for the design and production for surface operations. “The importance of this NNR acceptance cannot be overstated. It is a pivotal achievement that validates SMM's safety protocols, accelerates its path to production and reinforces its role as a key player in the global rare earth supply chain, especially amid growing demand for these critical rare earth minerals.
