Sydney, Aug 18, 2011 (ABN Newswire) - Latrobe Magnesium Limited (ASX:LMG) has finalised an option agreement to acquire a 100% interest in a very large highly prospective Rare Earth Project at Errida Creek in Western Australia. Previous Exploration has detected extraordinarily high Thorium anomalies over vast areas. Monazite sampling exceeded 48%-50%, and valuable heavy minerals included zircon, leucoxene and ilmenite.
