Mkango Resources, a Canadian mineral exploration and development company has announced that HyProMag and partners European Metal Recycling and the University of Birmingham have successfully completed the rare earths recovery project to extract rare earths from audio products (REAP).

W Resources' half-year revenue increased due to the increase in production and prices. "The company's La Parrilla mine has made significant progress, and the plant's recycling rate, production and sales have increased," CEO Michael Masterman highlighted.

Tungsten West Ltd is among exciting firms that revitalizing the mining heritage of the western part of the UK and help the country move towards a zero-carbon economy. The Hemerdon tungsten mine in Plymouth, new mining industry in the southwest, will be the main leader in this process. The company bought Hemerdon tungsten mine for 2.8 million pounds in 2019, and it said the project is in line with the British vision for a greener future.

Australia will build a new medical isotope molybdenum-99 nuclear medicine production facility in Lucas Heights. Lucas Heights is the home of the Nuclear Science and Technology Organization (ANSTO). A recent ministerial announcement launched the project, saying that A$30 million ($12.8 million) will be invested in the design of the facility.

To be used for rare earth metal smelting, induction furnace heating element, quartz glass smelting, sapphire crystal growing furnace, ect., the material should be extremely refractory, such as clay, graphite, tungsten, molybdenum, china clay, or quartz or hard-to-melt metallic iron because the usual working temperature is above 2000℃.

Australia’s government announced that it will establish a loan facility to promote the new energy economy and support the resources needed for future resource work, such as tungsten and rare earths. The facility will receive 2 billion Australian dollars of investment.

The European Union (EU) has spent US$2 billion to promote continental Europe to establish its rare earths supply in order to reduce China’s reliance on essential elements for electric vehicles, wind turbines, and mobile phones.

Researchers at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute used machine learning to test the ability of rare earth phosphates in extreme atmospheric conditions. They used machine learning to examine the combination of various elements that usually applied for protection in aerospace Environmental barrier coating required for equipment under extreme conditions of and space environment. The project is led by researchers from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute and supported by the National Science Foundation.

An Australian mining project in the Northern Territory is believed to be able to meet the global demand for 10% of rare earths used in electric motors. European battery makers hope to trade rare earth metals directly with Australia, thereby bypassing China's rare earth products.

Energy Fuels has increased the production of rare earth elements at its White Mesa Mill in Utah, the US, allowing it to enter the rare earth market. Although the plant is still controversial, it is the only traditional uranium mine in operation in the United States.
