Company Profile
Altona is a mining exploration company focused on evaluating, developing and extracting Rare Earths in Africa. The Company is listed on the Main Market of the London Stock Exchange.
Rare Earths are a group of 17 chemical elements, many of which are critical to the World's on-going transition from carbon-based to renewable energies, and to the defence and communication sectors.
The Company currently focuses on the development of Monte Muambe, its flagship Magnet Rare Earths Project, located in Northwest Mozambique. The project was acquired in June 2021, and the Company has so far drilled over 7,000m, to support its maiden JORC Mineral Resource Statement which will be published in the second half of 2023.
