The REE content of the Mountain Pass district was first discovered in 1949 by uranium prospectors. Mountain Pass is a massive carbonatite called the Sulfide Queen, which host the rare earth minerals. The typical ore contains 10-15% Bastnasite. It is the largest known mass of high-grade REE...

Rare earth elements (REE) are a homogenous group of 17 chemical elements in the periodic table that are key to many modern industries including chemicals, consumer electronics, clean energy, transportation, health care, aviation, and defense. Moreover, in recent years, they have been used in ag...
Rare Earth Elements or Rare Earth Metals (REM) are a collection of seventeen chemical elements in the periodic table, namely scandium, yttrium and fifteen lanthanides. The term "rare earth" arises from the rare earth minerals from which they were first isolated. They are uncommon oxide-type ...
Rare earth metals (REM), rare earth elements (REE), and rare earth oxides (REO) are terms for 17 elements on the periodic table. Cerium Dysprosium Erbium Europium Gadolinium Holmium Lanthanum Lutetium Neodymium Praseodymium Promethium Samarium ...
REEs never occur individually but collectively they are found in various minerals in the Earth's crust. This is a natural verification that these elements partition similarly in melts, fluids, and minerals on the earth. Exceptions are cerium (Ce) and europium (Eu), which may take different val...
A Swedish mining company has identified more than 1 million tonnes of rare earth oxides in the far north of the country, the largest known such deposit in Europe. Rare earth minerals are essential to many high-tech manufacturing processes and are used in electric vehicles,...
Rare earth minerals are of course a commodity of strategic import. The minerals – which refer to 17 scandium, yttrium, and the 15 lathanides on the periodic table – are employed in a variety of high-tech applications ranging from EV lithium-ion batteries to wind turbines to guided missiles...
