other rare earths are also commonly used in electronic devices today. neodymium, atomic number 60, for instance, is a powerful magnet, useful in smartphones, televisions, lasers, rechargeable
rare earths were discovered by chance at mountain pass when uranium prospectors sent samples to the usgs for analysis in 1948. the molybdenum corporation of america, (later renamed molycorp), acquired the mining rights, production began in 1952, an expanded concentrator was built in the 1960s and a new separation plant in the 1980s.
the house of representatives recently passed the rare earths and critical materials revitalization act, with broad support, by a vote of 324 to 92. the bill aims to enhance competition by
why worry about rare earths when under treaty we are required now to buy technology from our nato allies under globalization. parts for our military equipment is farmed out. the us discovered trillions in rare earth minerals in afghanistan, to help them with their economies, and china gets the contract to mine and sell it to us.
· valuable heavy rare earths are concentrated in areas in southern china such as hunan and fujian provinces. the communist nation has almost half the world's total known rare earth reserves, according to a crs report on china's rare earth industry and export regime. actual chinese production of rare earths was insignificant until the 1980s.
· china has spent decades cornering the rare earths production market but a new report says afghanistan and kazakhstan might have even bigger deposits.
· china has been heavily buying in to greenland and its vast natural resources. the true quantity of the resources is only slowly getting revealed as the continental ice is melting due to the
· rainbow rare earths began production of rare earth concentrates in the fourth quarter of 2017 and has a ten year distribution and offtake agreement with german industrial engineer thyssenkrupp. the company raised £4m ($5.1m) in a share placing in london in july. bennett took over as ceo at the end of august.
but it is not known whether it will seek a stake in afghanistan's rare earths. also, experts caution that it is still unclear whether the helmand deposits are mineable and can yield a profit

abstract. on our planet, over a quarter of new technologies for the economic production of industrial goods, are using rare earths, which are also called critical minerals and industries that rely on these precious items being worth of an estimated nearly five trillion dollars, or 5 percent of world gross domestic product.
rare earths are great multipliers and the heaviest are the most valuable. they make the things we take for granted, from the small motors in automobiles to the wind turbines that are revolutionizing the production of electricity, many times more efficient. for example, rare earths increase a conventional magnet's power by at least fivefold.
· china supplied 80% of the rare earths imported by the united states from 2014 to 2017. china is home to at least 85% of the world's capacity to process rare earth ores into material manufacturers can use, according to research firm adamas intelligence.
