Why Rare Earth Is So Hot Right Now

Rare Earth Elements also referred to as REE; consist of 17 elements on the periodic table.  REE’s occur in igneous rocks made of magma which have formed by cooling very slowly deep beneath the earth’s crust.  The Canadian Shield, which covers almost all of Quebec, Labrador, most of Ontario, Manitoba and The North West Territories, is rich in igneous rock.  It has been relatively unexplored, but has disclosed very high concentrations of REE.

In 2007, the global market for Rare Earth was estimiated at $2 billion. China has the world’s largest natural resource reserves of REE and makes up for 43% of the estimated 100,000,000 tons of Rare Earth Element reserves worldwide.  China has imposed export quotas to protect their rare valuable resources since 1998; however in January 2009 China drastically reduced the amount of REE’s which can be exported and imposed heavy duties.  China decreased quotas to a total maximum of 15, 043 tons. 

Meanwhile the US is aggressively stockpiling REE’s and importing 100% of their REE’s to protect their resources as well.  In effect, there’s a developing opportunity for Canadian miners to supply where China has retreated, as the US is stockpiling and American miners face a reformatory mining tax bill by congress. 

Applications for REE are numerous given their extreme resilience to high-temperature and permanent magnetic characteristics.  REE’s are required for petroleum refineries, electronics manufacturing, LCD screens, energy saving florescent lighting, microchip conditioning, high-tech sensor devices for medical and intelligence markets, components for hybrid and electric vehicles, agriculture, aerospace, turbines etc.
