[{"type":"text","content":"Verde AgriTech Announces District Scale High-Grade Magnetic Rare Earths Discovery in Minas Gerais, Brazil\n\n\n\n\n Continuous clay-hosted REE mineralised zone outlined.\n \n\n\n\n High-grade NdPr-rich samples return up to 8,930 ppm TREO and 2,182 ppm MREO.\n \n\n\n\n 22 samples return > 1,000 ppm MREO\n \n\n\n SINGAPORE, Oct. 06, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) --\n \n Verde AgriTech Ltd.\n \n (TSX: NPK | OTCQX: VNPKF) (\"\n \n Verde\n \n ” or the “\n \n Company\n \n ”), announces the delineation of a continuous clay hosted rare earth element (“REE”) mineralized zone (“the Zone”) in Alto Paranaíba, Minas Gerais, Brazil, covering ~5,500 hectares (or ~20 square miles) across 13 mineral rights. The Zone was delineated by integrated geological mapping, geochemistry and spectral/geophysical datasets, and confirmed by trench sampling.\n \n\n\n Exploration Highlights:\n \n\n\n\n\n High-grade magnet rare earth tenor across a broad sample base\n \n : 75 surface/trench samples average magnetic rare earth oxides (“MREO”) 743 ppm, with 54/75 ≥400 ppm, 22/75≥1,000 ppm and 7/75 ≥1,500 ppm MREO.\n \n\n\n Total rare earths at meaningful surface tenor:\n \n Total rare earth oxides (“TREO”) averages 3,532ppm, median 3,148, with peak assays up to 8,930 ppm and 2,182 ppm MREO.\n \n\n\n Heavy rare earths confirmed:\n \n Top 10 MREO samples carry dysprosium oxide ~35–60 ppm and terbium oxide ~8–13 ppm, reinforcing high coercivity magnet potential alongside NdPr (see Table 1).\n \n\n\n Magnet critical balance:\n \n Neodymium and praseodymium (NdPr) typically contribute on average ~19% of TREO within the samples tested, peaking at 24%, with dysprosium and terbium present in higher grade samples — supportive of high coercivity magnet feed.\n \n\n\n Near-term catalyst:\n \n Given the significance of the discovery and potential economics, Verde’s Board of Directors is conducting a formal review and will communicate next steps within seven days.\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n “This discovery demonstrates a rare earth mineralized zone of considerable size and coherence across our mineral rights. The combination of TREO and MREO enrichment highlights a compelling growth opportunity,”\n \n\n\n commented Cristiano Veloso, Founder and CEO...
