Title: Rare Earth Talk
Post by: caskur on February 28, 2025, 08:31:18 PM
We have stockpiles of Rare Earth Minerals in Western Australia.

What are rare earth minerals in Western Australia?

The rare earth-bearing minerals monazite and xenotime are routinely produced through Iluka's mineral sands processing activities. Iluka has strategically stockpiled these minerals at a former mine site, Eneabba, in Western Australia. This stockpile is rich in both light and heavy rare earths.

Why are they considered rare if you have stockpiles of them?

Good question...

You have to have buyers...

Find it then cap it... for future.

WA has some of the most significant critical minerals deposits in the world, including virtually all the minerals on Australia's critical minerals list, and is a leading supplier of lithium, nickel, cobalt, manganese, mineral sands and rare earths.
