Message: NR additional reserves Hoidas Lake ore to 2.5mt

From the NR:

Eighty seven percent of the average value of TREE is made up of lanthanum, cerium and neodymium with neodymium grades averaging 0.42% of the measured and indicated resource.

The resource is reasonably big, but isn't that a poor distribution of REE's? Others have 70 to 80 % of the cheap elements La and Ce, and 12 to 20 % Nd.
