This week we hosted a US bi-partisan congressional delegation to our lab in Johannesburg, where we are advancing the IP to extract rare earth oxides from phosphogypsum at #Phalaborwa - positioning the project as future source of #criticalminerals to the US and aligned countries

The strengthening dialogue between Brazil and major global economies reinforces the importance of Rainbow's initiatives in supporting the development of alternative, responsible critical mineral #supplychains for Western markets. Read more here:

This growing awareness of Brazil's critical mineral reserves is particularly encouraging for us as we continue to make strong progress towards completing the Economic Assessment of the #Uberaba project.

Brazil's Minister of Development, Industry, Commerce and Services, @geraldoalckmin , stated that the two countries aim to "expand cooperation in energy, innovation and sustainability", including a potential partnership designed to capitalise on the country's mineral potential.

The #US has reportedly been pushing for greater access to #Brazil's rare earths, as discussions between the countries regarding #criticalminerals and other strategic sectors intensified this month.

As stated by Conway, the rare earths sector is only growing in importance and a clear understanding of its dynamics will be essential for anyone following developments in #technology, #defence, and #sustainability. Watch the full video here: https://t.co/dVuygMyzk2

He also examines the environmental footprint of RE processing. At Rainbow Rare Earths, we are developing a robust, alternative source of these critical minerals using an approach that has the potential to significantly reduce carbon intensity compared to conventional production.

Sky News's Ed Conway provides an insightful overview of #rareearths, covering everything from the basics and everyday applications to the current opportunities and challenges shaping the sector, including the impact of recent #tariffs.

Rare earths are once again at the forefront of #tradewar news, highlighting the critical importance of secure and independent #supplychains of strategic minerals.

Backed by the US, Rainbow Rare Earths is advancing the #Phalaborwa and #Uberaba projects to strengthen and diversify Western supply of rare earth metals. With the #weaponization of metals becoming more commonplace, alternative supply chains have never been more important.

With critical minerals fundamental to a wide range of #defence technologies and a component of virtually every weapons system, the resilience and reliability of these supply chains have become a national security priority for the #Pentagon.

The US' accelerated efforts to stockpile #rareearths, following China's latest export restrictions, reflects a growing recognition that access to critical minerals is not only an economic concern but a strategic necessity.

"The Pentagon has sought to procure up to $1bn worth of critical minerals as part of a global stockpiling spree to counter Chinese dominance."

With US support, Rainbow is transforming #phosphogypsum waste into strategic resources to reduce reliance on China and supply Western industries shaping tomorrow’s world. Read more about China’s new export controls here:

This escalation underscores China’s grip on the entire #rareearth value chain and highlights the urgent need for Western markets to secure resilient, independent supply chains. Rainbow Rare Earths offers a compelling alternative.

Under the new rules, all foreign exports will require Beijing’s approval, with military uses likely to be denied, putting Western #defence, #EV, and #renewable industries at risk.

In the latest development of the #tradewar, China has announced sweeping export controls on rare earth materials, processing technologies and magnets containing even trace amounts of Chinese-sourced rare earths.

This escalation underscores the China’s grip on the entire #rareearth value chain and highlights the urgent need for Western markets to secure resilient, independent supply chains.

Under the new rules, all foreign exports will require Beijing’s approval, with military uses likely to be denied, putting Western #defence, #EV, and #renewable industries at risk.
