Namibia Critical Metals Inc. is developing the Tier-1 Heavy Rare Earth Project, Lofdal<\/a>, which is a major deposit of the heavy rare earth metals dysprosium and terbium.<\/p>\n Innovations linked to energy and technology transformations drive the demand for these critical metals, which are used in permanent magnets for electric vehicles, wind turbines, and other electronics.<\/p>\n Despite the increasing demand for these metals, the geopolitical risks associated with their sourcing have become a recurring concern for manufacturers and end users.<\/p>\n However, Namibia offers a stable and proven mining jurisdiction. Mining accounts for around 12.5% of GDP and provides over 50% of foreign exchange earnings.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
