Lindian Resources
Lindian Resources Limited (ASX: LIN) is an ASX-listed critical minerals company advancing the Kangankunde Rare Earths Project in Malawi, one of the largest undeveloped rare earth assets globally. With a market capitalisation approaching AUD$1billion, the Company is firmly in the execution phase, progressing through construction toward first production.

Construction is underway, with first production targeted for Q4 2026, positioning Lindian as the next rare earths producers to market.
Kangankunde is a long-life, multi-generational asset with approvals already achieved for expansion beyond Stage 1. Alongside delivery of the project, Lindian is actively positioning the business to participate further downstream as part of a more integrated rare earths supply chain.
We're offering an outstanding opportunity for an accomplished Chief Financial Officer to join at a moment of rapid momentum - setting the financial direction, elevating governance standards, and shaping the company’s trajectory as it advances toward rare earths production.
