Europe aims to be key player in Rare Earth Minerals markets


Rare Earth Minerals have been a hot topic lately and tipped to be the future of the energy market. These rare elements are already a massive part of today's society and can be found in high-tech consumer products, such as mobile phones, hard drives, electric vehicles and TV’s.

China is currently the worlds largest supplier of rare earth minerals and Europe imports the vast majority of its supply from China. Europe have remained dependant on China for decades for rare earth minerals but recent news from Sweden is about to change it forever.

Mining firm finds a 1 million tonne rare earth mineral deposit.

A Government run mining firm recently reported finding a deposit of rare earth elements of up to 1 million tonnes of rare earth oxides. The discovery in Kiruna, Sweden could balance the scales of the global market and make the EU a powerhouse in the mineral supply.

Rare earth mining & processing companies favoured by investors.

Europe's demand for rare earth is expected to continue to increase due to the rising applications in magnets, metallurgy, catalysts, glass, and ceramics. The automotive industry is the major end-user of rare earth in Europe. Europe emerged as the second-largest producer of motor vehicles in the world and accounted for a share of 22.3% in recent years. This is anticipated to propel the demand for rare earth in the region.

With names like lanthanides and scandium, many investors find themselves not knowing where to start and with the possibility of higher rare earth mineral prices in the coming years investors are keen to know more about investing. The most strategic and direct way to invest in the rare earths industry is through mining and exploration companies such as;

  • Arafura Rare Earths (ASX:ARU)
  • Energy Transition Minerals (ASX:ETM)
  • Ionic Rare Earths (ASX:IXR)
  • Neo Performance Materials (TSX:NEO,OTC Pink:NOPMF)
