ASX-listed Lindian Resources says construction activity at its Kangankunde rare earths project, in Malawi, continues to advance across all major work fronts, with strong progress recorded across the process plant, non-process infrastructure and mining activities.

Key milestones achieved include the start of process plant civil works and foundations, continued progress on the 33 kV powerline and associated site infrastructure, development of the haul road and run-of-mine (RoM) pad, mobilisation of key earthmoving equipment and the completion of important regulatory approvals supporting operational readiness.

The company says the project remains on schedule, with front-end commissioning targeted for October and first production targeted for the fourth quarter of this year.

"Kangankunde continues to demonstrate strong execution momentum, with construction progressing across all major work fronts and the project remaining on schedule for first production in 2026.

“The commencement of process plant civil works, continued progress on the haul road and RoM pad, and the advancement of the electrical programme are important milestones as we move closer to commissioning.

“The team remains focused on safe delivery, disciplined execution and ensuring the project is operationally ready ahead of commissioning,” says Lindian executive director Zac Komur.
