The Humpty Doo Rare Earths Mining Company started mining operations on 1 July 2019. In the year to the 30^th June 2020 three areas were explored, Europium, Gadolinium, and Terbium. The following costs were incurred:

Rare earths were discovered at Europium on 17^th January 2020. In April 2020 after a review of the prospects for the Gadolinium site it was decided to abandon operations there. Exploration was still a work in progress at the Terbium site, but no decision had been made about the commercial potential of that site. Development of the Europium site had continued during the year and at 30^th June 2020 $36 million had been incurred. These costs are to be written off on a production basis.

This cost relates to the construction of plant and equipment. It is estimated that there are 150,000 tonnes of rare earth which has a current sale price of $3,500 per tonne. By the 30^th June 2020 15,000 tonnes had been extracted at a production cost of $6 million of which 12,000 tonnes were sold.
