    About our Rare Earths news

    Latest news on rare earths (REE), covering mining operations, supply chains, prices, and developments in these critical minerals essential for green technology.

    Rare earth elements (REEs), a group of 17 metallic elements crucial for modern technology, have become increasingly strategic resources in the global economy. China currently dominates the market, producing approximately 85% of the world's refined rare earths, while other major players include Australia, the United States, and Myanmar.

    Recent developments have focused on diversifying the rare earths supply chain away from Chinese dominance. Major initiatives include the expansion of mining operations in Australia's Mount Weld, America's Mountain Pass mine, and new projects across Canada and Africa. Concerns about environmental impact and sustainable extraction methods continue to shape industry practices, with increasing emphasis on recycling and circular economy approaches.

    The human impact of rare earth mining extends beyond economics, affecting local communities and workers worldwide. In Malaysia, residents near rare earth processing facilities have raised health concerns, while Indigenous communities in various regions actively participate in discussions about new mining projects on their traditional lands. Meanwhile, tech companies and manufacturers are increasingly engaging with communities to ensure responsible sourcing.

    The strategic importance of rare earths emerged in the 1960s with the development of colour television, but it wasn't until the 1980s that China began to dominate the market. Previously, the Mountain Pass mine in California was the world's leading producer. The industry's history reflects broader geopolitical shifts and technological advances, from the Cold War's influence on mineral strategies to today's clean energy transition.

    Our NewsNow feed on rare earths provides essential updates on this critical sector, drawing from leading industry sources, scientific publications, and market analysts. Whether you're an investor, researcher, or industry professional, stay informed about price movements, technological breakthroughs, and policy changes affecting the rare earths market.
