Following elections in April 2018 the ruling coalition reaffirmed its support for rare earth and associated uranium extraction and acknowledged that the time to move the licensing process to the next stage of public consultations is imminent. The company has applied to the government for a mining licence to proceed with the project.

name 'rare earth elements' come to be associated solely with the specific set of elements it denotes today. In fact, in terms of their overall abundance in the Earth's crust, the REE are not particularly rare. On average, as a proportion of the Earth's continental crust, Cerium (Ce) is the most abundant, at 43 parts per million (ppm),
Siliciclastic sedimentary rocks, including sandstones and associated shales, from the Permo-Carboniferous Kanawar Group of NW Tethys Himalaya, Spiti Region, India were examined geochemically to monitor the evolutionary changes in the upper continental crust in the Himalaya. The rocks are characterized by consistent rare earth element (REE) patterns with light REE enrichment (LaN/YbN = …
The principal concentrations of rare earth elements are associated with uncommon varieties of igneous rocks, namely alkaline rocks and carbonatites. Potentially useful concentrations of REE-bearing minerals are also found in placer deposits, residual deposits formed from deep weathering of igneous rocks, pegmatites, iron-oxide copper-gold ...

The principal economic sources of rare earths are the minerals bastnasite, monazite, and loparite and the lateritic ion-adsorption clays. The rare earths are a relatively abundant group of 17 elements composed of scandium, yttrium, and the lanthanides. The elements range in crustal abundance from cerium, the 25th most abundant element of the 78 common elements in the Earth's
Rare earth elements that have been reported in coal seams. Not all seams have these elements. Link to U.S. NETL's Rare-Earth Element Poster. Products made from rare earth elements. REEs occur in very small trace amounts in coals and coal byproducts. Trace amounts are measured in microscopic concentrations of 100 parts per million or less.
The content levels, distribution characteristics, and health risks associated with 15 rare earth elements (REEs) in urban street dust from an industrial city, Zhuzhou, in central China were investigated. The total REE content (∑REE) ranged from 66.1 to 237.4 mg kg−1, with an average of 115.9 mg kg−1, which is lower than that of Chinese background soil and Yangtze river sediment. …
The mining of rare earth metals, used in everything from smart phones to wind turbines, has long been dominated by China. But as mining of these key elements spreads to countries like Malaysia and Brazil, scientists warn of the dangers of the toxic and radioactive waste generated by the mines and processing plants.
Rare Earth Element Production: This chart shows a history of rare earth element production, in metric tons of rare earth oxide equivalent, between 1950 and 2020. It clearly shows the United States' entry into the market in the mid-1960s when color television exploded demand.
Financial Associated Press, November 2 - Li Cheng, director of the state owned assets supervision and Administration Commission of Guangdong Province, led a team to Guangdong rare earth group under Guangsheng group and Guangsheng nonferrous metals, a listed company controlled by Guangsheng group, to investigate the development of Guangdong rare earth industry. Li Cheng said that it is ...
Another group of DOE scientists at NETL is using advanced microscopy to better understand where rare earths occur in coal—whether they are associated …
Alexis: The hazards of rare earths come at four stages: the mining itself, refining the ore, managing the waste, and disposing of it. First, the mining. Blasting rare earths out of the earth's crust means blasting out other elements too. Elements that weren't harming anyone in the ground.
Natural colored fluorites were studied by means of optical absorption and electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR). Complex centers involving rare-earth ions and/or oxygen give rise to the various colors observed. These include yttrium-associated F centers (blue), coexisting yttrium and cerium-associated F centers (yellowish-green), the (YO2) center (rose) and the O 3 − molecule ion (yellow ...
Challenges. It can be tough to process rare earth ores through to produce useful products. In the last decade, only ONE new mine/chemical plant devoted to rare earth elements (REE) has been established, while the industry compound average growth rate (CAGR) is a strong 5%, and the CAGR associated with renewable energy rare earths, Nd/Pr, is even higher at 8%.
Rare earth elements (REEs) are a group of 15 chemical elements in the periodic table, specifically the lanthanides. Two other elements, scandium and yttrium, have a similar physiochemistry to the lanthanides, are commonly found in the same mineral assemblages, and are often referred to as REEs. REEs have not been mined in the United States for about 20 years, and prior to that time, the …

Extreme rare earth element mobility has been discovered, associated with uranium mineralisation in metasedimentary rocks of the Lower Proterozoic Pine Creek Geosyncline, Australia. The rare earth element patterns and other geochemical evidence point to movement of the rare earth elements and uranium by carbonate complexes in a low temperature, oxidising and alkaline solution.
Rare earth metals are found in an ever-increasing number of products we use every day, and there are major environmental concerns and serious health issues associated with the extractions of these metals. In an effort to educate myself, I read a number of different articles and studies until I found one that really described in detail rare earths, environmental impacts, applications of rare ...
