Rock Yarns: China tensions and COVID-19 are making the strategic metals rare earths story one to watch

Stock analysis veteran and lover of the resources game, Peter Strachan, is back for another instalment of the Rock Yarns podcast.

In this week’s episode Peter chats with Tim Harrison, CEO of Ionic Rare Earths (ASX:IXR).

Ionic is developing the Makuutu rare earths project to be a globally significant producer of both heavy rare earths oxides and critical rare earth oxides.

The company’s aim is to provide a viable large-scale, low-cost alternative supply chain outside of China.

Ionic presently owns 31 per cent of the Makuutu rare earths project and will move to 60 per cent ownership through an earn-in arrangement.

So tune in below to get a run down on the rare earths thematic and Ionic’s progress through 2020.
