Legacy Minerals Holdings Limited (ASX: LGM) has received diamond drilling assays by its exploration alliance partner, Earth AI, at the company's owned Fontenoy Project, NSW. Discovery drillhole, diamond cored EFO7D, returned magmatic-related platinum group elements (PGEs) and Ni-Cu-Fe sulphides: 34m at 0.5g/t 3E PGE 10m at 1.2g/t 3E …

For every ton of rare earth produced, the mining process yields 13kg of dust, 9,600-12,000 cubic meters of waste gas, 75 cubic meters of wastewater, and one ton of radioactive residue. This stems from the fact that rare earth element ores have metals that, when mixed with leaching pond chemicals, contaminate air, water, and soil.

The rare earths, or rare earth elements (REE), are a relatively abundant group of elements consisting of scandium, yttrium, and the 15 elements of the lanthanide series of the periodic table. Scandium (Sc) is the lightest rare earth element. Scandium is present in crustal rocks in amounts greater than lead and precious metals, but it rarely ...

Found in the Earth's crust, rare earths are critical elements used in cars, consumer electronics, computers, communications, clean energy and defense systems. There are 17 elements that are considered to be rare earth elements (REE). Fifteen of those elements are in the lanthanide series and two additional elements share similar …

Rare earth elements-bearing minerals, once separated, contain as many as 14 individual rare earth elements (lanthanides and yttrium) that must be further separated and refined. The complexity of extracting and refining rare earth elements is illustrated by a metallurgical flow sheet for the Mountain Pass mine in California (fig. 2). Unlike ...

Pedersen took me out to Avalon's drilling station, where machines are running day and night, pulling samples from 1,000 feet down, hoping to find proof of a large rare earth deposit. These are ...

Rare Earth Elements (REEs) have emerged as crucial components in modern technology, playing a pivotal role in various industries due to their unique properties. As their name suggests, REEs are not abundant in the Earth's crust, making them valuable and sought after for numerous applications. Understanding the geology and mining of REEs is …
