Rwenzori Rare Metals Limited is a private, Ugandan company, with a majority shareholder based in South Africa. Since July 2016, we have established a significant ion absorption clay deposit that ranks among the largest of its kind outside China.Rwenzori Rare Metals Limited is focussed on the development and expansion of the Makuutu Rare Earth Project in Uganda, East Africa.There is really nothing rare about rare earth metals but what makes this such a challenging form of mining is the ability to extract these minerals cost-effectively, in enough quantity to be viable and without massively adversely affecting the environment – and that is what we at Rwenzori aim to achieve.Rwenzori Rare Metals Limited is a unique partnership of both world-class geological skills and experienced business leaders drawn from Uganda and South Africa. Combining the enthusiasm of the geologists with the pragmatism of financial advisers, Rwenzori Rare Metals Limited has created a team that has not only uncovered the potential within the land but has also defined a clear economic path to ensure the sustainability and viability of the opportunity.
