High TREO-deepwater port, may be first to meet asian demand-ore to China/Malaysia for processing. Recent articles indicate Chinese will soon need all the REEs for their own economy. REE space must expand, and rapidly. My picks:

I do know there are a number of different processes depending on which rare earth you are talking about. (I'm not a metallurgical engineer either!) All the Best, Dave Duane,

Most current operations require large quantities of water and electrical power. TRhe cost of product would be much less if the nuggets were 100% pure. Comments?

They do seem very speculative, but I think this whole area of exploration and development for rare earths, and other elements not classified as "rare earths," elements such as lithium, boron, bismuth, strontium, etc. may evolve very, very rapidly as new revolutionary technological applications start being widely employed. I am old enough to remember that the primary use of uranium, prior to the atomic age, was adding color to glass. Please keep information on opportunities in companies mining elements other than commodities and rare earths, coming.

Australia has an increasingly important role in the REEs as it has several micro-cap compnaies that control slightly more REEs than China. Hi,

I bought Lynas over 3 years ago and it has been up and down several times since then. Good article – most of these email articles do not name the specific companies but just send teasers.
