Exploring US efforts to find a secure supply of rare earth elements

3 days ago | army-technology.com | Caroline Peachey

In April, China imposed a new round of export controls on seven rare earth elements (REEs) that are essential for modern technology ─ dysprosium, gadolinium, lutetium, samarium, scandium, terbium and yttrium. These latest restrictions, which came in response to US President Donald Trump’s tariffs of up to 145% on Chinese goods, are not outright bans. However, they mean companies will need to apply for a licence to export rare earths, which could lead to a temporary pause in trade.

Considerations for the transition towards EVs in mining

3 days ago | mining-technology.com | Caroline Peachey

Several mines around the world are leading the way in adopting electric vehicles (EVs) to enhance sustainability and reduce carbon emissions. For example, industry giants such as BHP and Rio Tinto are collaborating with Komatsu and Caterpillar on trial operations to accelerate the deployment of battery-electric haul trucks across their operations.

There is still an opportunity for the UK to take on a leadership role in critical minerals. However, the government’s critical minerals strategy – due to be released this year– is seen as pivotal for the country to position itself as a key player.

Unlocking investment in critical minerals in Kazakhstan

2 weeks ago | mining-technology.com | Caroline Peachey

Kazakhstan hosts substantial reserves of critical minerals including rare earth elements (REEs), copper, lithium, tungsten, tantalum as well as other materials essential for modern technologies and the energy transition. Recognising the strategic importance of these resources, the Kazakh Government has introduced efforts to attract foreign investment and technological expertise to develop its critical minerals sector.
How is technology shaping minerals exploration?

4 weeks ago | mining-technology.com | Caroline Peachey

In the face of cost pressures and dwindling resources, the mining industry is turning to new technology that can enhance minerals prospecting and exploration. “There are a lot of new technologies around to help speed up exploration ─ geophysical methods, AI, hyperspectral analysis ─ but you still need that physical drilling,” says Haydn Daxter, CEO of Power Metals, which is exploring and developing caesium, lithium and tantalum projects in Canada.
