name 'rare earth elements' come to be associated solely with the specific set of elements it denotes today. In fact, in terms of their overall abundance in the Earth's crust, the REE are not particularly rare. On average, as a proportion of the Earth's continental crust, Cerium (Ce) is the most abundant, at 43 parts per million (ppm),
In Europe, Bernd Schafer, CEO and Managing Director of rare earth mineral consortium Eit Raw Materials, said this month that an "action plan" will soon be presented to the European Commission on ...
Rare earth elements, also called rare earth metals, are a group of 17 chemical elements. The largest subgroup within it are the 15 lanthanides. The …
The European Union (EU) imports around 16,000 tonnes per year of rare earth magnets from China, accounting for around 98% of the bloc's needs. Demand is only going to grow as EV production and ...
Under the EURARE project the first European Rare Earth Resources Conference, ERES2014, was organised in September 2014, and its follow up, ERES2017 has been announced for May 2017. A roadmap is being developed for sustainable REE exploitation in Europe based on the resources identified, technologies developed and the environmental benefits and ...
EURARE was a project funded by the European Commission for the 'Development of a sustainable exploitation scheme for Europe's Rare Earth ore deposits'.

Why Rare Earths May Leave Europe and U.S. Vulnerable By . Joe Deaux. and . Justina Vasquez. February 16, 2021, 2:47 PM EST Updated on February 16, 2021, 3:08 PM EST ...
The European Union gets 98 percent of its supply from China, the European Commission said last year. Amid the transition to green energy in which rare earth minerals are sure to play a role, China's market dominance is enough to sound an alarm in western capitals. Rare earth minerals with names like neodymium, praseodymium and dysprosium are ...
This study was a small part of the EURARE project concerned with the processing of eudialyte concentrates from Greenland and Norra Kärr, Sweden. Eudialyte is a potential rare earth elements (REE) primary resource due to its good solubility in acid, low radioactivity and relatively high REE content.
Because of increasing demand for value-added rare earth materials in European manufacturing, Toronto-based Neo seeks to expand and diversify its current supplies of rare earth feedstock at Silmet, which is the only operational rare earth separations facility in Europe. Silmet has been separating rare earths into commercial value-added products ...
For some elements, such as the rare earth elements (REEs), the problem is production. Current mines are not sufficient to meet demand for all the metals, particularly dysprosium and neodymium (Vaccari, 2009) (see REE demand breakdown figure below). For other elements, such as uranium, the rare metals, phosphorus and platinum group elements ...
Rare Earth Elements 3 - Project Overview The rare-earth metals or elements (REEs) are a unique group of chemical elements that exhibit a range of special electronic, magnetic, optical and catalytic properties They have hundreds of applications. Their use in components
About EURARE. The main goal of the EURARE project was to set the basis for the development of a European Rare Earth Element (REE) industry. Establishment of an REE value chain in Europe would safeguard the uninterrupted supply of REE raw materials and products crucial for sectors of the EU economy (including automotive, electronics, machinery and chemicals) in a sustainable, economically ...

On July 7, Energy Fuels Inc. made its first regular shipment of a rare earth carbonate processed from a mineral called monazite from the United States to Europe. The minerals started in a mine in southern Georgia, then was shipped to a Utah processing plant and finally to a rare earth elements separation facility in Estonia.
Prepared for CEC4EUROPE (Circular Economy Coalition for Europe), August 2018 Abstract Rare earth elements are increasingly important for high technology products. The high-tech sector with the strongest demand for rare earths is the permanent magnet sector. Permanent NdFeB magnets are currently the strongest magnets on the market.
Besides neodymium, the chemical composition of Neodymium–Iron–Boron (NdFeB) permanent magnets possibly contains other rare earth elements (REEs) such as praseodymium, dysprosium, and terbium. Among its applications, NdFeB magnets are essential for Hard Disk Drives (HDDs) in computers for data storage, in Mobile Phones (MPs), and in acoustic transducers.
Europe is on a mission to wrest back control of its rare earth magnet supply chain from China. Permanent magnets, commonly using a neodymium-iron-boron chemistry, are one of …
Rare earth metals at the heart of China's rivalry with US, Europe. A photo taken in 2012 shows a rare earth refinery near Baotou, China, the country dominating the global mining and refining of ...
Europe's import dependance. The European Union is entirely dependent on imports for its rare earth supplies, most of them from China. After the price shocks of 2011, rare earths were added to ...
The rare-earth elements, also called the rare-earth metals or (in context) rare-earth oxides, or the lanthanides (though yttrium and scandium are usually included as rare-earths) are a set of 17 nearly-indistinguishable lustrous silvery-white soft heavy metals. Scandium and yttrium are considered rare-earth elements because they tend to occur in the same ore deposits as the lanthanides and ...
Fund Description. VanEck Rare Earth/Strategic Metals ETF (REMX ®) seeks to replicate as closely as possible, before fees and expenses, the price and yield performance of the MVIS ® Global Rare Earth/Strategic Metals Index (MVREMXTR), which is intended to track the overall performance of companies involved in producing, refining, and recycling of rare earth and strategic metals and minerals.
European Rare Earths Competency Network (ERECON) Rare earth elements are a group of 17 speciality metals used in high-tech products such as smart phones or wind turbines. Due to the lack of internal supply the EU needs to import more than 90% of these metals, mainly from China. As the demand for rare earths is expected to grow, the EU aims to ...
10 % of the global rare earth supply in the future, even in the best-case scenario. Considerable resourcesmay be found in other European regions (for example in the Balkans) but these areas are relatively underexplored at present.EURARE, a project funded by the European Commission and addressing development prospects for
Rare earth element enrichments are hosted by a series of accessory REE-phosphates, (britholite and monazite), REE-carbonates (bastnäsite), REE-silicates (allanite) and REE-oxides (pyrochlore). The total REE concentration in carbonatites of the PP-CL is approximately 0.74 wt% and about 0.5 wt% in carbonatites of the Esquinzo Complex.
Rare Earth Metals At The Heart Of China's Rivalry With US, Europe In 2019, the United States imported 80 percent of its rare earth minerals from China, the …

A photo taken in 2012 shows a rare earth refinery near Baotou, China, the country dominating the global mining and refining of the minerals. What if China were to cut off the United States and Europe from access to rare minerals that are essential to electric ...
The Rare Earth Industry Association (REIA) is a global organization with partners representing the whole REE value chain. It aims to develop a transparent, sustainable and integrated value chain for REEs. March 05, 2021. Webinar: REE Market and Geo-economics. As the global markets rebound from the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, REIA ...
The EU launched the European Raw Materials Alliance (ERMA) late last year to ensure the bloc has a range of critical minerals needed for its green transition and gave top priority to rare earths.
Given that supply, and rising European automaker demand, Neo is considering doubling the annual capacity of its Estonia plant from its current 2,900 tonnes of rare earth oxides, Karayannopoulos said.
Numerous European industries are heavily dependent on imported rare earth element (REE) raw materials. This has created a need for the European Union (EU) to ensure a sustainable supply of REE minerals, as well as develop from the ground up the currently non-existent European REE extraction and processing industry.
Rare earths are not currently produced within the EU. However, several REE deposits have been located and some are even being developed by mining companies. To date, the Geological Surveys of European countries in which REE deposits occur, such as Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Finland and Greece, have worked to define and characterise their domestic ...
