I suspect that rare earth elements are dispersed fairly equally over large land masses, which leads me to believe that North America has its fair share. Given the trade situation and use of slave or near slave labor in China, I can also understand how it is not very profitable to mine in the US.

Definitely a solvable problem as long as Biden (CCP) is not President.

After Biden takes office the EPA will have them shut down in a heart beat

$9.6 million is pocket change for the pentagon.

Suspect no longer.

Seems like some large unexplored areas in Alaska due to federal lands. Probably the same is true out west, but to a lesser degree.

...unexplored areas in Alaska...

FLASHBACK: Largest known rare earth deposit discovered in North Korea May 29, 2019

Privately-held SRE Minerals on Wednesday announced the discovery in North Korea of what is believed to be the largest deposit of rare earth elements anywhere in the world.

Looks like Kim has found a way to build those vacation beach condos.

This is one of the things that Trump got done because his idiot predecessors failed to even try.

HAHA! Trump seeks to return rare earth production to the United States

and break China's dominance over the supply chain..

Biden family crapping their pants as Hunters

deals slides from their slimy crooked fingers!

Doesn’t look very rare when looking at that map.

I think they have to send the ore to China to get it processed at least for a couple of year until they can process it here..?..

I...just want to celebrate.

[PIF]

The real largest mine was sealed over by B Clinton at behest of his Indonesian friends and turned into a national reserve/park/refuge - was in the Dakotas as I recall - was site of extinct super volcano I think

[Tell It Right]

"I think they have to send the ore to China to get it processed at least for a couple of year until they can process it here..?."

A major part of that is the environmental impact of processing REE's. China doesn't hamstring itself with environmental stuff. Therefore China does it cheaper and quicker. Therefore China does most of the REE for the west.

The political left fights every time we process REE here.

[Godzilla]

Under biden, the left will do all in their power to squash any domestic RE production in order to keep the US dependent on China for its resources.

[Steven Tyler]

Seems US has plenty for their own use.
Best not to export those minerals

Best not to export those minerals

And the best way not to export is to manufacture in the USA the tech the rare earths are used.
