source:Elko DailyThe next element in our series of rare-earth elements is gadolinium.Rare-earth elements are those at the bottom of the periodic chart, those funny two rows that don’t seem to be connected to anything.Actually, if you really wanted to be correct, these two rows should stick vertically out of the page right from the lanthanum and actinium positions. Nobody does this, of course, so you are stuck with the two bottom rows wondering why they are placed there.Gadolinium is a relatively rare element that is only now being noticed for its help in MRI procedures and to make exotic alloy...

source:Star TribuneA mine exploration project in Halleck Creek was ranked as one of the top 10 critical mineral sites on the planet after assay results earlier this year revealed exceptionally high levels of rare earth elements. But this month the project owners, American Rare Earths, U.S. subsidiary of an Australian-founded exploration company, have completed their full development drilling campaign, and the new assay results suggest that soon this Albany County mine will be ranked number one. Mineral testing of samples from Overton Mountain revealed the site contains even higher concent...

source:cornellA tiny, hard-working bacterium – which weighs one-trillionth of a gram – may soon have a large influence on processing rare earth elements in an eco-friendly way.In a new study, Cornell scientists show that genetically engineering this bacterium could improve the efficiency for the purification of elements found in smartphones, computers, electric cars and wind turbines, and could even boost global economic supply chains.Vibrio natriegens, the bacterium, offers a sustainable method – called biosorption – to extract valuable and needed elements rather than use older, polluting sol...

source:the westAruma Resources has produced its best rare earths grades to date from its Saltwater project near Newman in Western Australia, with rock-chip assays as high as 1777.5 parts per million total rare earth oxides (TREO) and soils as high as 1092.5ppm.Results revealed by the company today also include 1026ppm TREO from a rock chip and 572 and 592ppm TREO from soils. Management says the area continues to reveal a major volcanogenic massive sulphide (VMS) system hosting multi-commodity enrichment that will be tested by drilling next year.Following its news last month of anomalous assays...
