Jaguar Uranium Launches REE Assessment on 20,000m Core at 9,053-Hectare Berlin Project
Jaguar Uranium has begun a rare earth element assessment on over 20,000 metres of preserved drill core at its 9,053-hectare Berlin Project in Caldas, Colombia. The company will systematically re-sample historic core for REE, vanadium, phosphate and strategic metals without immediate new drilling, accelerating resource characterization.
1. Assessment Program Details
Jaguar’s initial phase targets over 20,000 metres of preserved drill core at Berlin for systematic logging, photographing and re-sampling to generate first-pass rare earth element assays alongside vanadium, phosphate and other strategic metals. This approach avoids near-term new drilling and lays the groundwork for a multi-element geological model and by-product economic assessment.
2. Berlin Project Background
The Berlin Project covers 9,053 hectares in Caldas, Colombia, and hosts a polymetallic sedimentary deposit with historical uranium, rare earths, vanadium, phosphate, nickel, molybdenum, rhenium, yttrium and neodymium. Historic operators completed over 20,000 metres of drilling, and core preservation enables immediate evaluation of district-scale critical mineral potential.
3. Strategic Importance and Outlook
By advancing rare earth characterization at Berlin, Jaguar aims to position the project as a non-Chinese source of critical minerals vital for defense, EV batteries and clean energy. Initial assay results are expected in 2026 and could underpin a maiden multi-commodity resource estimate and future economic studies.
