Brazilian Rare Earths (ASX:BRE) said it intends to demerge its Amargosa bauxite-gallium project in Brazil into a newly formed ASX-listed company, Alurion Resources, with eligible shareholders to receive 0.5607 Alurion shares for each Brazilian Rare Earth share held at the in-specie record date, according to a Monday Australian bourse filing.

The company said Alurion also intends to undertake an initial public offering to raise between AU$30 million and AU$50 million, including a pro-rata priority offer and first-right top-up offer open to eligible shareholders, as well as broker firm and institutional offers of remaining shares.

The proposed demerger is designed to establish Alurion as a dedicated bauxite and critical minerals development company with its own board, management team, and capital structure, while enabling Brazilian Rare Earths to remain focused on advancing its rare earth and critical minerals portfolio, it added.
