The Mountain Pass deposit was discovered in 1949 by a uranium prospector who noticed anomalously high radioactivity. The Molybdenum Corporation of America bought the mining claims, and began small-scale production in 1952. Production expanded greatly in the 1960s, to supply demand for europiumused in color television screens. Between 1965 and 1995, the mine supplied most of the worldwide rare-earth metals consumpt
SUNDANCE – Mining and processing rare earth elements is a particularly complicated endeavor. Unlike other minerals such as gold and silver, rare earth elements can’t be removed from the ground
A rare-earth element (REE) or rare-earth metal (REM), as defined by the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry, is one of a set of seventeen chemical elements in the periodic table, specifically the fifteen lanthanides, as well as scandium and yttrium. Scandium and yttrium are considered rare-earth elements because they tend to occur in the same ore deposits as the lanthanides and exhibit similar chemical properties, but have different electronic and magnetic properties. Rarely, a broader definition t

Processing. Rare earths are difficult to mine because they aren’t found in large quantities or veins like other minerals such as gold. They need to be separated from one another using a variety of mining and processing techniques.
Rare-earth element - Rare-earth element - Processing ores: All rare-earth ores contain less than 10 percent REO and must be upgraded to about 60 percent in order to be processed further. They are first ground to a powder and then separated from the other materials in the ore body by various standard processes that include magnetic and/or electrostatic separation and flotation.
Rare-earth element - Rare-earth element - Minerals and ores: The content of the individual rare-earth elements varies considerably from mineral to mineral and from deposit to deposit. The minerals and ores are generally classified as “light” or “heavy”; in the former group most of the elements present are the light-atomic-weight elements (i.e., lanthanum, cerium, praseodymium ...

China holds one-third of the planet’s rare earth supply, but a vast number of mining and refining operations ongoing within its borders allow China to account for roughly 97 percent of the available rare earth metals market at any given time. Yes, other countries have rare earth metal resources, but they lack the infrastructure or means to put them to use.

The company immediately began to manufacture rare earth products from surface stockpiles, primarily to develop its processing capabilities but in doing so it also generated a little cash flow ($2M in 2008 and $7M in 2009) and became the only current producer of rare earths in the Western Hemisphere. In July 2010 it raised $393M in an IPO on the New York Stock Exchange which it will use to fund ...
