source：Sci-News.comA team of researchers from the U.S. Geological Survey has mapped a rare earth element-bearning deposit in the Mountain Pass region of the eastern Mojave Desert.Rare earth elements (REEs) are a set of 17 chemical elements (atomic numbers 57-71) in the periodic table.They are essential in modern civilian and military applications, health-care and medical devices, and ‘green’ technologies.Although REEs have crustal abundances similar to common industrial-grade metals (e.g., chromium, nickel, copper, zinc, tin, and lead), large economically viable REE deposits are uncommon.Carbo...

source：MINING.com-An international team of researchers published a paper in Science stating that the global low-carbon revolution could be at risk unless new international agreements and governance mechanisms are put in place to ensure a sustainable supply of rare minerals and metals.According to the scientists, the main risk emerges from the fact that global supplies of cobalt, copper, lithium, cadmium, and rare earth elements needed for solar photovoltaics, batteries, electric vehicle motors, wind turbines, fuel cells, and nuclear reactors tend to be heavily monopolized by a single country, ...

source：Phys.OrgScientists from the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) have mapped a rare earth element deposit of magmatic carbonatite located in the Mountain Pass region of the eastern Mojave Desert. The new report details the geophysical and geological setting of the deposit, including a map of the deposit's subsurface extent, to help land-use managers evaluate sites for further exploration. The report was recently published in the Geological Society of America's online journal, Geosphere.Rare earth elements (REEs) are critical to emerging industrial technologies including strategic defen...
