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.
