2021-10-26 Rare-earth metals are used for a variety of high-tech equipment from smartphones to submarines. The separation method, which uses carbon dioxide, water and food-grade citric acid, is the subject of a Sandia National Laboratories patent application. Sandia National Laboratories researcher Guangping Xu adds coal ash into a citric acid mixture.

2012-12-11 A major hurdle for the mining of landfills for strategic metals is the current limited nature of rare earth recycling. Until rare earths can be extracted and separated from used products in an economically beneficial manner, however, such products can be stockpiled upon reclamation until a time when their strategic elements can be extracted and ...

There have been some reports that the Biden administration could impose tariffs on Chinese rare earth metals in the future. As the only rare earth mining and processing operation in the U.S., this would be hugely beneficial for MP Materials. So far, this stock has performed quite well in 2021, although it is down slightly from its peak in March.

2020-7-14 The mining of rare earth metals occurs mainly in southeastern China, in provinces like Jiangxi and Fujian. But there is also mining as north as Inner Mongolia and as west as Sichuan. Over the last decade and a half, China has also moved to obtain exclusive mining rights in African countries in return for building big-ticket infrastructure ...

2021-1-13 Increasing rare earth mining outside of China has reduced China’s global share of mining, down from 97.7% in 2010 to 62.9% in 2019. But mining is merely one piece of the puzzle. Ultimately, the large majority of rare earth refining, 80%, resides in China. Therefore, even rare earths mined overseas are sent to China for final processing.
