source:MiningRare earth elements (REE) are used in the high-strength magnets found in new technologies such as smartphones, wind turbines, electric vehicles, and defence systems. Despite their name, REEs are not rare, although finding secure sources of supply is becoming increasingly important to countries, particularly given China's dominance of the sector.Yet in 2023, REE prices tumbled. The price (in China) of praseodymium oxide — one of the most widely used rare earth elements — fell 34% over the year, while terbium oxide and neodymium oxide each dropped to their lowest levels last mon...
