Rare earth elements (
REEs) are essential for American competitiveness in the clean energy industry because they are...
Southern Research's Energy & Environment division is launching the work amid concerns about the U.S.'s near - total reliance on foreign sources for
REEs, which are used in high - tech products ranging from smartphones to missile systems.
NETL is providing funding for a total of 10 projects that focus on developing cost - effective and environmentally benign methods for recovering
REEs from domestic coal.
To support its research into the recovery of
REEs from coal and coal byproducts, the U.S. Department of Energy's National Energy Technology Laboratory (NETL) in December 2015 awarded the Birmingham - based organization $ 1 million in Phase 1 funding for the project.
In addition,
REEs have important military applications in jet fighter engines and various missile systems, requiring high - temperature materials.
Southern Research's project to recover
REEs from coal fly ash stands in stark contrast to conventional mining techniques.
REEs are a series of chemical elements found in the Earth's crust that are widely used because of their special properties.

The recent announcement by the World Trade Organization stating that China's export policies for
REEs was illegal should have breathed new life into the non-Chinese space and it really didn't.
Going forward, watching the pricing trends of select
REEs and also watching China's response to the recent WTO ruling will provide the clearest indication of the way forward.
At the end of the day,
REEs are still a crucial component of society's technological and defense capabilities — that much won't change.
The bloodbath in
REEs appears to be over, but, as with a host of other metals, the «turn» doesn't necessarily appear to have come.
End users have also made strides in attempting to engineer «out»
REEs from their products as shown below.
I've mentioned this in previous Morning Notes, but if the recent strength in Industrial Production and PMI and ISM data is sustained in the wake of decreasing stimulus from central banks, this will provide compelling opportunities across all types of energy metals — not just
REEs.
(Kitco News)- The story of Rare Earth Elements (
REE) is at the center of a sad and dirty chapter of the metals industry as it continues to see weak prices despite strong demand.
Against this backdrop, the surge last week in
REE mining and exploration companies share prices was as remarkable as it was mystifying.
Chinese control of almost the entire
REE value chain, large capital expenditure figures for Western projects, difficult metallurgy, and higher potential returns elsewhere all seemingly have the «deck stacked» against the non-Chinese
REE industry.
As reassuring as it was to see a broad move higher in
REE plays, the move was a mystery to many, myself included.
For the first time in many months, consideration should be given to
those REE plays that have the optimal mix of balance sheet strength, good metallurgical results, geopolitical certainty, and luck.
Though there are still numerous companies involved in
REE exploration and development, the points listed above have me convinced we are at a bottom for the
REE space.
That said, I'm still a believer in a need for a non-Chinese
REE value chain and don't believe that its importance has diminished at all, despite the poor performance in the equity markets.
Challenging times face
the REE exploration companies just as they do for the rest of the junior mining industry.
I think it will still be some time before a self - sufficient non-Chinese rare earth supply chain is established, but as demand for these metals and the products they are used in continues to grow,
REE investment can be a profitable choice for the risk - tolerant investor.
Below is a list of
REE plays and their performance on Friday ranked by volume.
It would appear that while challenging times will continue for
REE plays, the «blood in the streets» phase for the sector is over.
The current trade dispute between China and the United States will almost certainly influence the rare earth elements (
REE) market -LSB-...]
World
REE reserves are estimated at 110 mm tonnes with China accounting for 50 % and the US at 13 %.
I a anticipate
REE prices remaining high on a historic basis, but as costs have also risen, those companies that can present a manageable operating expense are going to win.
Price risk is more important that metallurgical risk, financing risk, permitting risk, or any other risk associated with early stage
REE mining ventures.
projects in reliable political jurisdictions with a preponderance of heavy
REE mineralization is at least a starting point.
This timeframe coincides with the timing when
REE prices went parabolic.
