Podcasts about rare earth elements

Critical minerals are required for the manufacturing of electronics, aerospace equipment, medical devices, and renewable energy technologies, making them essential for a country's economic and national security. These materials have been at the center of China's domestic and foreign policy for many decades, and China's ability to integrate internal industrial policies with foreign trade and investment policies has allowed them to gain dominance in the market. Meanwhile, the US has lagged behind China in terms of both access to and processing technology of critical minerals. The country has been heavily dependent on China for its critical minerals and struggles to find an alternative supplier.China's announcement to impose export restrictions on seven rare earth elements on April 4th has opened many conversations surrounding critical minerals, especially regarding the US and its supply chain vulnerabilities. What has China done to achieve their global dominance in the critical minerals sector, and what can the US do to address the overdependence issue they are facing today? To answer these questions and more, host Bonnie Glaser is joined by Gracelin Baskaran, the director of the Critical Minerals Security Program at the Center for Strategic and International Studies. She is a mining economist whose area of expertise is critical minerals and trade. Timestamps[00:00] Start[02:13] US Dependencies on Rare Earths and Critical Minerals[03:51] Sourcing from Latin America, Africa, and Asia[06:28] Environmental Harm from Mining and Processing[08:11] Deliberate Suppression of the Price of Rare Earths in the Market[11:06] Chinese Exports Restrictions on Seven Rare Earth Elements[14:08] US Administrations' Approaches to Critical Minerals Vulnerability[20:02] 2010 Fishing Boat Accident and Japan's Response [24:00] What might China do moving forward? [27:42] Timeframe for the US to Catch Up to China

China's new export controls on rare earth elements (REEs) are a problem for EVs, renewables, and other industries that rely on the minerals, especially the permanent magnets they're used in. The vast majority of the global supply chain is in China. Plus, Chinese companies control supply chain operations around the world.  So is it possible to stand up a rare earth supply chain outside of China's control? In this episode, Shayle talks to Ahmad Ghahreman, co-founder and CEO of REE recycler Cyclic Materials. (Energy Impact Partners, where Shayle is a partner, invests in Cyclic.) They cover topics like: REE 101: the basket of 17 minerals, how they're mined and processed, and the most important five Why an REE supply chain hasn't been built outside of China, even though the raw materials exist outside the country The timeline of Chinese export controls leading up to the April escalation and what could come next The specifics of what's limited, including oxides, alloys, and magnets Why Ahmad is optimistic about building an ex-China supply chain Other potential pathways, like recycling and designing more REEs-efficient products Recommended resources: The New York Times: The Mine Is American.

Proactive's Tylah Tully unpacks the outlook for rare earth elements (REEs), critical for technologies like electric vehicles (EVs), wind turbines and advanced electronics. These minerals have become central to geopolitical competition, with China dominating production. In 2023, China classified rare earth resources as state-owned, introduced mandatory traceability systems and restricted key technology exports. In response, the United States imposed tariffs on Chinese EVs and critical minerals, aiming to reduce dependence on Chinese supply chains and bolster domestic production. Despite their abundance, the dispersed nature of rare earths makes extraction challenging. Classified as critical minerals, they are essential for clean energy technologies and advanced defence systems. Global demand is rising rapidly, with Australia, holding at least 4% of the world's REE reserves, well-positioned as a key supplier. Lanthanein Resources Ltd is exploring critical minerals across Western and South Australia, focusing on its Lady Grey Lithium-Tantalum Project. Drilling is underway, with results to guide further progress. Lindian Resources Ltd is developing the Kangankunde Rare Earths Project in Malawi. A 2024 feasibility study highlighted its low costs, short payback period, and strong financial returns. American Rare Earths Ltd is advancing its La Paz (Arizona) and Halleck Creek (Wyoming) projects in the US, with test mining underway and a pre-feasibility study planned for 2025. Ionic Rare Earths Ltd owns 60% of the Makuutu Project in Uganda and is leading innovations in rare earth recycling through its Belfast demonstration plant, leveraging patented technologies to recover rare earth oxides from spent magnets. Global demand and geopolitical pressures underscore the importance of sustainable REE supply chains, placing explorers and developers in a strategic position. #ProactiveInvestors #RareEarthElements, #CleanEnergy, #ElectricVehicles, #WindTurbines, #CriticalMinerals, #LanthaneinResources, #LindianResources, #AmericanRareEarths, #IonicRareEarths, #MakuutuProject, #HalleckCreek, #KangankundeProject, #MiningInnovation, #GreenTechnology, #SustainableMining, #REERecycling, #NationalSecurity, #GlobalDemand, #EnergyTransition, #AustraliaMining

Just weeks before he was elected president of the United States, during a conversation at the Economic Club of Chicago, Donald Trump declared, “The most beautiful word in the dictionary is ‘tariff.' And it's my favorite word.” As the president-elect takes to the bully pulpit, leaders of nations threatened with new tariffs are calling Trump or even flying down to Mar-a-Lago, as Canadian President Trudeau did recently, to argue their case.  Stanford Law Professor Alan O. Sykes joins Pam and Rich for this episode to help make sense of the fascinating world of trade, tariffs, and the global economy. Al is a leading expert on the application of economics to legal problems whose most recent scholarship is focused on international economic relations. His writing and teaching have encompassed international trade, torts, contracts, insurance, antitrust, international investment law and economic analysis of law. He is the author most recently of the book The Law and Economics of International Trade Agreements. Connect:Episode Transcripts >>> Stanford Legal Podcast WebsiteStanford Legal Podcast >>> LinkedIn PageRich Ford >>>  Twitter/XPam Karlan >>> Stanford Law School PageStanford Law School >>> Twitter/XStanford Lawyer Magazine >>> Twitter/XLinks:Alan O. Sykes >>> Stanford Law page(00:00:00) Chapter 1: Introduction and Explanation of Tariffs Rich Ford and Pam Karlan introduce Professor Alan Sykes, a leading expert in international trade law, to explore the basics of tariffs. They discuss what tariffs are, how they function like a tax on imports, and who ultimately bears the cost. Sykes explains the economic complexities, such as elasticity of demand and supply, and highlights how tariffs impact U.S. consumers and foreign producers.They discuss how tariffs often fail to significantly increase manufacturing jobs and the potential downsides of retaliation and supply chain disruptions.(00:08:36) Chapter 2: Policy Implications and Optimal Tariff Strategies Alan Sykes unpacks the policy decisions behind tariffs, such as balancing national security concerns and economic efficiency. Sykes explains the concept of "optimal tariffs" and critiques proposals like 100% tariffs, arguing for targeted approaches such as subsidies for sensitive industries. The hosts highlight the distinction between product-specific measures and country-focused tariffs in maintaining supply chain resilience. (00:12:28) Chapter 3: The Evolution of U.S. Free Trade Policy The group explores the post-World War II consensus around free trade and how it has shifted in recent years. Alan Sykes outlines bipartisan changes to U.S. trade policy, the impact of the "China shock," and the shift towards an "America First" approach under both Trump and Biden administrations.(00:16:43) Chapter 4: Tariffs, Trade Wars, and Public Misunderstandings The discussion delves into the politics of tariffs and their economic implications. Alan Sykes explains why tariffs remain politically popular despite their economic inefficiency, the mechanics of trade wars, and the historical example of the Smoot-Hawley Tariff. They also discuss how tariffs and retaliation, such as restrictions on rare earth elements, could affect U.S. industries.(00:23:26) Chapter 5: Multilateral Trade Agreements and National Security Alan Sykes traces the history of multilateral trade institutions, focusing on the GATT, WTO, and USMCA. Sykes explains the U.S.'s recent retreat from WTO commitments, the renegotiation of NAFTA, and the controversial use of national security clauses to justify tariffs and sanctions. The conversation closes with insights on the implications of these shifts for allies and adversaries alike.

Zak Mir talks to Rupert Verco, CEO of Cobra Resources, as the mineral exploration and development company advancing a potentially world-class ionic Rare Earth Elements discovery at its Boland Project in South Australia announced the results from ongoing metallurgical studies. This included exceptionally high recoveries of up to 82% of high-value rare earths. Key Points: High Recovery Rates: Cobra Resources has achieved exceptionally high recoveries of rare earth elements, particularly magnet and heavy rare earths, with up to 82% recovery from samples containing 0.5% total rare earth oxides. These results are promising due to the low levels of impurities, leading to reduced processing costs. Market Understanding and Challenges: Despite strong results, the market may not fully understand the significance of the REEs or may be impacted by broader market conditions. The company has faced challenges in raising capital, but maintains strong support from major shareholders, minimizing dilution. Scalability and Environmental Impact: The project utilizes a unique geological setting favorable for "in-situ recovery" (ISR), a process involving injecting and extracting a solution to mobilize rare earths without moving ore, resulting in low environmental impact and cost. This method is well-established in uranium mining and considered scalable for REEs. Market and Strategic Positioning: Demand for heavy rare earths remains high, with current reliance on supply from China and some emerging sources like Brazil. Cobra aims to produce rare earths responsibly and cost-competitively, contributing to the West's efforts to reduce dependence on China for critical minerals necessary for energy efficiency and decarbonization. Future Plans and Commercial Options: Cobra is exploring options including joint ventures or sales while focusing on proving up their resource to ensure it is marketable and economically viable. The discussion highlights Cobra Resources' strategic approach to rare earth production, leveraging unique geological advantages, scalable processes, and positioning in a market with growing demand for critical minerals. https://www.share-talk.com/zak-mir-talks-to-rupert-verco-ceo-of-cobra-resources-achieved-exceptionally-high-recoveries-of-rare-earth-elements/

We've been thinking (and talking, and writing) a lot lately about the forces that are shaping the future of agriculture. There are the more obvious ones– artificial intelligence and mandatory climate disclosures– to the less obvious, like the ubiquity of remotely sensed data and geoengineering. All of these forces, and others like them, are not only acting on ag and the institutions the industry depends on, they're also acting on one another, evolving and compounding all the time.  We investigated these forces, and four critical scenarios that they might create, in our latest report, Navigating a Future of Cross-Sectoral Forces, commissioned by AgriFutures Australia.

As the world pivots towards a green energy future, the dominance of rare earth elements has never been more crucial. Yet, while the West has been preoccupied with other geopolitical challenges, China has quietly taken control of this vital industry. This episode delves into the strategic manoeuvres that allowed China to secure a near-monopoly on rare earth production and the consequential vulnerabilities faced by Western economies. By focusing on technological advancements and resource acquisition, China has positioned itself as the gatekeeper of essential materials for modern technology and renewable energy. Has the West, with its divided attention, failed to anticipate this shift and what are the strategic missteps that led to this imbalance?

Pat Ryan, Chairman and CEO of Ucore Rare Metals (TSX.V: UCU) (OTCQX: UURAF), joins me for a comprehensive introduction to the Company's Rapid SX rare earth separation technology, their demonstration plant in Kingston, Ontario, and their engineering and development plans for their Strategic Metals Complex in Alexandria, Louisiana.   We start off with a more general discussion on the importance of the 17 rare earth elements in many aspects of technology, energy, and defense, noting in particular the importance of the heavy rare earth elements in permanent magnets, electric vehicles, windmills, and defense (like the F-35 fighters and nuclear submarines). This then leads into global marketplace that has been and still is dominated by China for the processing and separation of rare earth, as well as the alloys for manufacturing.   Ucore Rare Metals was seeking out different alternatives and efficiencies to the standard Chinese solvent extraction methodology, and eventually partnered with the Innovation Metals Corp to develop a solvent extraction method that was much faster, with a far smaller physical footprint, using a closed loop computerized column process.  Not only was it more friendly to ESG initiatives, but the speed and efficiencies have become attractive to potential off-take partners, and to the US, Canadian, and European governments.  Pat expands on different government funds available to help with developing North American domestic supplies of rare earth elements, and that they are in negotiations with a number of permanent magnet, automotive, and energy companies for potential partnerships and non-dilutive financing options.  The believe their Strategic Metals Complex in Louisiana, will be the first template for  several more plants to be constructed, not just in the US , but also in Canada and Europe.    If you have any questions for Pat regarding Ucore Rare Metals, then please email them in to me at Shad@kereport.com and we'll get those addressed by the company or cover them in future interviews.   Click here to follow along with the latest news from Ucore Rare Metals

Rare earth elements are a group of 17 metals used in a wide range of things that make modern life possible, including batteries, magnets, LED light bulbs, phone screens, and catalytic converters.These elements are essential to a green economy because they are integral to many technologies designed to have low environmental impact. However, mining these metals is a dirty, complex, and costly process. And as the world transitions towards more clean energy production, the demand for them will continue to grow.One possible solution is to recycle rare earth elements when they're discarded in electronics waste. On stage in Ames, Iowa, Ira Flatow talks with Dr. Ikenna Nlebedim and Dr. Denis Prodius, two materials scientists from the Critical Materials Institute at the Ames National Laboratory who have developed a new acid-free method to recycle rare earth metals found in magnets.Transcript for this segment will be available the week after the show airs on sciencefriday.com.

American Rare Earths Limited CEO Donald Swartz joined Steve Darling from Proactive to announce the results of a metallurgical study on the leaching extraction of Rare Earth Elements from Halleck Creek ore using low-temperature, direct acid leaching. The study, conducted by researchers at the Department of Mining and Minerals Engineering at Virginia Tech, was part of a three-year research contract awarded by the U.S. Department of Energy's Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy to Phinix, LLC, with American Rare Earth and Virginia Tech as team members. Swartz highlighted that the positive results from the metallurgical study further confirm the findings of previous testwork carried out by Wood PLC. Independent technical studies, recently published and peer-reviewed, also underscore the economic potential of Halleck Creek ore. The studies revealed that 80% of REEs can be extracted using low-temperature, direct acid leaching, with fast leaching kinetics attributed to the ore's metamict allanite structure. Notably, 65% of REEs were extracted within the first 10 minutes of leaching, showcasing the ore's favorable characteristics compared to refractory ores like monazite or bastnaesite. Furthermore, the Green and Smart Mining Engineering study demonstrated that Halleck Creek ore's high-grade rare-earth enrichment highlights its economic potential. Density and magnetic separation techniques have proven effective in separating and concentrating the rare earth elements, further enhancing the economic viability of the project. These findings underscore the significant progress made by American Rare Earths Limited in advancing the development of the Halleck Creek project. With promising results from metallurgical studies and ongoing research efforts, the company is well-positioned to capitalize on the economic potential of Halleck Creek ore and contribute to the domestic supply chain of rare earth elements. #proactiveinvestors #americanrareearths #asx #arr #otcqb #arrnf #MiningInnovation, #RareEarthElements, #SustainableMining, #MineralExtraction, #ResourceEfficiency, #TechnicalResearch, #PeerReviewed, #LowTemperatureLeaching, #EnergyEfficiency, #MiningEconomics, #StrategicMinerals, #DepartmentOfEnergy, #VirginiaTech, #UniversityOfKentucky, #LawrenceLivermore, #DARPA, #DepartmentOfDefense, #InvestmentOpportunity, #MiningSector #invest #investing #investment #investor #stockmarket #stocks #stock #stockmarketnews

Rare earth elements (REEs) are essential ingredients in electric vehicles, wind turbines, and many electronics. As with most critical minerals, China controls the vast majority of the REE supply chain. And so when it banned the export of REE processing technology last December, it raised concerns about supply. So what will it take to secure the supply of REEs?  In this episode, Shayle talks to Ahmad Ghahreman, CEO and cofounder of Cyclic Metals, a rare earth elements recycling company. (Energy Impact Partners, where Shayle is a partner, invests in Cyclic). They cover topics like: The five high-value REEs used in the permanent magnets inside EVs, wind turbines, and other electronics The many steps in the supply chain, from extraction to end-of-life Building magnets without REEs Increasing production outside of China The role of recycling Why Ahmad is optimistic about developing a supply chain in North America Recommended Resources: MIT Technology Review: The race to produce rare earth elements IEEE Spectrum: Who Will Free EV Motors from the Rare Earth Monopoly?

Coffee with Samso 194 is all about the Jupiter Rare Earth project and what a way for Andrew Radonjic to start the year 2024. Venture Minerals Limited (ASX: VMS) has an extremely well-rounded portfolio of projects and the inception of the Rare Earth project a couple of years ago has worked extremely well for the company. The Rare Earth sector may have come and gone for the ASx but it is a breath of fresh air to see the technical success of the Jupiter REE project. Anyone who has been following the ASX REE sector recently will know very well the bearish tone but those who have been on the Venture Minerals wagon, will think differently. You could put Venture Minerals on the top of the list for generating the most interest in the small-cap mineral explorers list. The interest in Venture started with the ASX release on the 29th of November 2023 (Jupiter Delivers over 7,000 ppm TREO assays from Maiden RC Drill Program) and the much anticipated second round of results was released on the 8th of March 2024 (Jupiter Drilling Continues to Deliver Broad High-Grade REE Mineralisation including a Record NdPr Intersection of over 5,000 ppm) which generated another rush on the share price.   Figure 1: The Venture Minerals Limited (ASX: VMS) share price. (Source: Commsec) In this episode, Andrew Radonjic gives us an update on the Jupiter Rare Earth project and we discuss why he feels the project stands out from the crowd. Samso's Conclusion The Samso platform has had the majority of the clay rare earth story on the ASX for the last couple of years. It has been a great journey from the beginning to now where I could effectively call a mature understanding of the industry. If we are all on the same page, the understanding now is all about the metallurgical results, and the chemistry of extraction. In some way, we all know that the range of results from all the other clay REE players has been pretty consistent. There have not been too many outliers on the good or the bad end of the spectrum. If we consider this thought, the metallurgical results for Jupiter will be within range and there are some similarities to Mt. Weld, then Venture may have found themselves a project that could be more than interesting. As Andrew pointed out in the end, it is all about the location. The drilling results are on the top end of the scale, the location is in proximity to Mt. Weld and the plant by Iluka, the metallurgical results which are still outstanding will most likely come within range or better and there are no logistical nor administrative obstacles in sight. With all that in mind, the Jupiter project must surely become a jewel in the DYOR category for ASX investors wanting an REE play in their portfolio. I encourage you to watch and take notes because as I have always mentioned on the Samso platform, the one economical project in many non-economical projects that are in the market comes once in a while and if you can take the risk, do big-time DYOR.

To build electric vehicles, solar panels, cell phones, and millions of other devices means the world must dig more mines to extract lithium, copper, and other vital building blocks. But mines are deeply unpopular, even as they have a role to play in fighting climate change and powering crucial technologies. Shermer and Scheyder discuss: • How much rare earth metals will we need by 2050, 2100, and beyond? • How do lithium-ion batteries work compared to lead-acid? What are the alternatives? • Will EVs completely replace all other cars? • Can renewables completely replace fossil fuels without nuclear? • How mining works in the U.S., China, Chile, Russia, elsewhere. Ernest Scheyder is a senior correspondent for Reuters, covering the green energy transition and the minerals that undergird it. He previously covered the US shale oil revolution, politics, and the environment at the Associated Press.

RareX (ASX: REE) chief executive officer James Durrant joins Small Caps to discuss plans to potentially fast-track the development of its Cummins Range rare earth element project in Western Australia. The company is focused on off-take opportunities at Australia's largest undeveloped rare earths project. RareX is now preparing for the submission of project approvals and securing offtake agreements in the lead up to the conclusion of a pre-feasibility study. It is also preparing to test near-mine anomalies with the potential to add material value to the project. Elsewhere, RareX has allocated business development capacity to Canada where it has identified advanced rare earth deposits as being attractive complementary acquisition opportunities. RareX remains bullish on the longer-term outlook for rare earths, which are expected to see over 6% compound annual growth rates year-on-year for the foreseeable future.

American Rare Earths Limited CEO Donald Swartz joined Steve Darling from Proactive to share significant metallurgical results achieved as part of a consortium led by Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory. The collaboration is part of a program funded by the Environmental Microbes initiative, involving cooperation between Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory and the University of Kentucky. Swartz told Proactive the Halleck Creek ore was effectively preconcentrated to 3.5% Total Rare Earth Oxides at a 12:1 upgrade ratio. This represents an impressive ~200% increase compared to the existing flowsheet design that uses low-cost, conventional Dense Medium Separation. Preconcentration is a crucial step in the ore processing workflow, allowing for the removal of a significant portion of non-valuable material, ultimately improving overall efficiency. The successful preconcentration process has significantly reduced the Wet High-Intensity Magnetic Separator (WHIMS) needs by 70% compared to the existing design. This reduction in magnetic separation requirements is a substantial cost-saving measure, reducing both capital and operating expenditures. The feed mass entering the direct leaching process has been significantly reduced from 16% to 7%, representing a 56% reduction in material reporting to the leach circuits. This substantial reduction further enhances the efficiency of the leaching process and lowers operating costs. With these promising results in hand, ARL is now planning to implement these improvements into its flowsheet and scoping study. These findings not only enhance the overall efficiency of the ore processing workflow but also position ARL for cost savings and improved resource utilization in its rare earths extraction efforts. #proactiveinvestors #americanrareearths #asx #arr #otcqb #arrnf #MetallurgyInnovation #SupplyChainSecurity #DARPAInitiative #MineralProcessing #MiningTechnology #ResourceEfficiency #CEOInterview #StrategicPartnership #InnovationNews #EconomicAdvantages #TechBreakthrough #CriticalMinerals #MineralExploration #InvestmentOpportunity #IndustryInsights #RareEarthMetals #CostEffectiveMining #SustainableResources #ResourceDevelopment #MineralUpgrading #ZeroStripRatio #DMSProcess #MineralEconomics #GlobalSupplyChain#invest #investing #investment #investor #stockmarket #stocks #stock #stockmarketnews

While the media in America has been laser-focused on the arrest and indictment of former President Donald Trump, the rest of the world hasn't stopped spinning. Instead, many of the United States' geopolitical rivals are taking this opportunity, while America is distracted, to make their moves. For instance, the BRICS nations (an organization, similar to the Group of 7, for the leading and emerging economies comprised of Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa) are working to create a brand new currency of their own that will be pegged to physical assets, such as gold. Together, these five nations represent 26 percent of the world's land surface area, 41 percent of the global population, and approximately 31.5 percent of the global GDP. And these BRICS nations are currently making large moves to supplant the U.S. dollar as the world's global reserve currency—meaning that this group of nations, representing about 40 percent of the world's people (and a growing portion of the world's GDP) are actively working on developing a new currency in order to bypass the U.S. dollar. ⭕️ Sign up for our NEWSLETTER and stay in touch

Carbonatites are controversial rocks that are associated with a diverse range of commodities, such as niobium, phosphate, copper, and light rare earth elements (LREE). This week we dive into some of the latest thinking about carbonatite genesis and ore forming processes, and consider the challenges involved in characterizing and producing these complex ore bodies.  First off, Emma Humphreys-Williams from the Natural History Museum, UK, explains how, when and where carbonatites form in the context of global tectonics and geodynamics, and questions what the carbonatite record tells us about the evolution of the mantle throughout earth history.  https://alkcarb.myrocks.info/ Next, we talk about ore forming processes in carbonatites with Wei Chen, a professor at China University of Geosciences. She provides a deep dive into the processes that generate LREE deposits on a journey that spans the magmatic and metasomatic regimes.  Finally, Tony Mariano, a long-time exploration geologist shares some real-world perspectives on the complex nature of carbonatite ore deposits, and on some of the challenges involved in converting carbonatite-hosted deposits into producing assets.  Theme music is Confluence by Eastwinds.

New research from Resources for the Future quantifies the Inflation Reduction Act's expected impact on clean energy development, energy costs, and emissions. --- The Inflation Reduction Act provides hundreds of billions of dollars' worth of incentives for clean energy, and is a key part of the U.S.'s effort to reduce its greenhouse gas emissions. New research from Resources for the Future examines the extent to which the IRA may in fact incentivize the development of wind and solar power, and contribute to the Biden Administration's goal of achieving 80% clean energy by the end of this decade. Dallas Burtraw, a senior fellow with Resources for the Future, discusses the IRA's potential to accelerate clean energy development, and its financial costs, or benefits, to consumers. Burtraw also explores the new law's expected environmental and health impacts, and potential barriers that may limit the IRA's ability to realize the full scope of expected benefits.

James Kennedy is the president of ThREE Consulting, a St. Louis-based firm that specializes in rare earth elements and critical minerals. In this episode, Kennedy explains how the U.S. ceded its rare earths industry to China, how China is using its dominance over technology metals “as geostrategic tools, or weapons,” high-strength magnet production, what China's dominance means for the U.S. auto, solar, and wind sectors, and what the U.S. should be doing to increase its production of critical metals and minerals. 

Released 4 April 2022. This article delivers a novel economic analysis of US dependence on China for rare-earth elements and sheds light on how Western nations may exploit the limitations of limit pricing to break China's global monopoly in rare-earth element production and refinement. This analytical framework, supported by a comprehensive literature review, the application of microeconomic and industrial organization concepts, and two case-study scenarios, provides several policy recommendations to address the most important foreign policy challenge the United States has faced since the end of the Cold War.

Gustavo [and] Jamie, thanks for joining me. Let's jump right in. Your article sheds light on how Western nations may exploit the limitations of limit pricing to break China's global monopoly on rare-earth element production and refinement. What's the working definition of “rare earth elements” here?  (Ferreira) Good morning, Stephanie. Thank you for having us. So rare-earth elements are a set of 17 different metallic elements that fall into two different categories. You have the heavy and the light based on the separation process (once they get mined and get processed), which tends to be rather complex. And contrary to what the title suggests, rare-earth elements are abundant in the Earth crust. They have their rarity status coming from being typically highly scattered and mixed together with other minerals, and they're rarely found in concentrations that make it profitable to extract. Oftentimes, they are a byproduct of other mining activities. It's important to understand rare-earth element reserves tend to be geographically more concentrated than other natural resources, such as oil and gas, but they're also in line with other key mineral resources, such as copper, where they're concentrated in one or two countries at the global scale. In terms of uses, it's important to highlight they're desired because they have unique characteristics, such as magnetic strength, and, consequently, they're used in a wide range of ubiquitous consumer goods, such as flat-screen TVs and cell phones. Other important industrial applications include wind turbines and electrical vehicles. And one that's typically a very visible application of this resource is in the military space. These minerals are key inputs for many weapons systems, such as jet fighter engines, missile guidance systems, satellites, ammunition, and so on. It's always good to put a number on it to emphasize the current demand for these inputs. An F135 fighter jet (engine) requires about 920 pounds of rare-earth minerals—just to put ...
