Rare earth element mining, refining, and downstream processing — including heavy rare-earth separation (dysprosium, terbium, samarium) and the production of NdFeB and other rare earth permanent magnets used in EV motors, wind turbines, and defense electronics.
Product categories in Rare Earth Minerals
Heavy Rare-Earth Separation — Solvent-extraction and ion-exchange separation of heavy rare-earth elements (dysprosium, terbium, samarium) from mixed concentrates. The narrow upstream chokepoint that determines whether NdFeB sintered magnets keep their coercivity at humanoid joint and EV traction temperatures. Distinct from light-RE separation in that the cascade requires far more stages, China holds ~90% of global capacity, and the metallization step that follows uses different alloy chemistry.
Permanent Magnets — Production of NdFeB and other rare earth permanent magnets using heavy rare earth alloys.
Rare Earth Elements — Mining and refining of rare earth minerals for magnets and electronics
