| Minerals rich in Rare Earth elements are key for the development and manufacture of key components in clean energy technologies, automobiles and electronics. They are essential to almost every environmental friendly technology like wind turbines, photovoltaic panels and hybrid motors. It is estimated that all these Rare Earth Dependant Technologies are reliant on Rare Earth materials from China and a limited number of deposits outside of China for their production. |
