Lindian fires first blast at Kangankunde as rare earths mining begins

Lindian Resources (ASX:LIN) said it has completed the first production blast at its Kangankunde Rare Earths Project in Malawi, marking the start of production. The update is an important operational milestone for the project, reducing near-term execution uncertainty versus a pre-production stage. Overall, this is likely to be supportive but not broadly market-moving unless accompanied by ramp-up and output guidance.
