Assessing advanced rare earth element-bearing deposits for industrial demand in the EU
This article examines proposed REE-product volume supply from six advanced rare earth-bearing mineral exploration projects, two of which in Greenland, for REE demand by industrial users in the EU. A methodology is developed which draws on supply chains and published feasibility studies, emphasizing...
