The complexity of extracting and refining rare earth elements is illustrated by a metallurgical flow sheet for the Mountain Pass mine in California (fig. 2). Unlike metal sulfides, which are chemically simple compounds, REE-bearing minerals are quite complex.

Its most advanced rare metal project in the Rocky Mountain Rare Metal Belt is the Blue River Tantalum-Niobium Project north of Kamloops in southern British Columbia. The Upper Fir deposit at the Blue River Project is host to an Indicated Resource of 36,350,000 tonnes grading 195 ppm Ta2O5 (tantalum) and 1,700 ppm Nb2O5 (niobium).

About 17 REMs are usually found together, mostly in three major minerals: bastnäsite with iron in Bayan Obo (Inner Mongolia), monazite and xenotime ores with radioactive thorium (Mountain View, California, and Kerala, India), and ion-adsorption clays.10,11 More than 95% of the rare earths occur in bastnäsite, monazite, and xenotime.12 Bastnäsite contains about 70–75% rare earth oxides ...

This is particularly true for metals sourced from rocks formed in ancient mountain belts or volcanoes, which must be excavated, crushed and then processed to …

Montoro Acquires Rare Earth Claims In Rocky Mountain Rare Metal Belt, British Columbia, Canada Published. Feb 6, 2019 5:00AM EST.

Rare earths elements are more abundant than their name suggests but extracting, processing and refining the metals poses a range of technical, political and environmental issues.

The Mountain Pass RE mine in California also ... Cumulative carbon dioxide equivalent emissions associated with rare earth metals oversupply was between 5.5 and 6.4 times the emissions associated ...

"In 2020, Mountain Pass produced more than 38,500 metric tons of rare earth contained in concentrate, representing more than 15% of global production." For the moment, MP Materials is sending the rare earth from Mountain Pass to China for processing.

The Mountain Pass Mine, owned by MP Materials, is an open-pit mine of rare-earth elements on the south flank of the Clark Mountain Range, 53 miles (85 km) southwest of Las Vegas, Nevada.In 2020 the mine supplied 15.8% of the world's rare-earth production. It is the only rare-earth mining and processing facility in the United States.

What are rare-earth metals? Rare earths refer to a group of 17 elements that are prized for their unique magnetic and electrochemical properties. ...

A mountain mine in the California desert is poised to get a boost from the Pentagon, which sees the rare-earth metals it extracts there as vital for national defense.

U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) data on Molycorp's Mountain Pass Mine shows that the mineral makeup of the mine is 98 percent light rare earths, mostly cerium and lanthanum. Those two elements have a low market value; prices for them fell more than 80 percent from 2011 to 2012 alone, suggesting an oversupply.

The metallogenic geological conditions are superior in the Bieyesamas area of the Altay Mountain, and rare metal deposits and ore spots are widely distributed. In particular, the newly discovered rare metal deposits are characterized by large-scale mineralization, high grade and industrial utilization value, etc.
