A recent study conducted by researchers at Princeton University has shown monolayer tungsten ditelluride (WTe₂) as an excitonic insulator (EI). Tungsten ditelluride is a transition metal sulfide (TMD) with many unique properties and characteristics that make it an ideal material for electronic applications. Past studies have shown that monolayers of two-dimensional tungsten ditelluride crystals form the first monolayer topological insulator, exhibiting topological properties that can persist to very high temperatures (~100 K).

Alderan Resources and its partner, Rio Tinto Group subsidiary Kennecott Exploration, have identified three new targets at their Frisco copper project in Utah, including a porphyry copper-gold-molybdenum mine. Fieldwork will begin before a decision is made to drill, and Kennecott could earn up to a 70 percent stake in Frisco by spending $30 million on exploration over 10 years.

Amid the COVID outbreak, Group 6 Metals' Dolphin tungsten mine project has experienced delays, with worker shortages and supply deliveries affected. However, mine construction manager Paul Richardson says the delays have been manageable so far.

Energy Fuels Corporation (NYSE: UUU), in partnership with Nanoscale Powders LLC (NSP), plans to develop new technology for the production of rare earth metals. The company believes that this technology, initially developed by NSP and to be advanced by the UUU-NSP partnership, has the potential to revolutionize the rare earths manufacturing industry by improving safety, reducing production costs, and energy consumption, and significantly reducing greenhouse gas emissions.

Falcon Gold Corp said it has received final approval from TSX Ventures to advance an option to acquire the Viernes project 122 kilometers southeast of the city of Antofagasta, Chile, during which it will undertake the Viernes porphyry copper-molybdenum mineralization and gold-silver project. The company will issue 500,000 shares and make a minimum expenditure of $250,000 for an 80% interest in the project.

Rare earths have been a crucial input to high-tech innovations in recent years, including hybrid cars, cell phones, silicon chips, high-strength magnets, next-generation rechargeable batteries, biofuel catalysts, advanced juvenile guidance systems, etc. The world is looking for alternative supply chains, and India, with its reserves of rare earth elements, would take advantage of this.
