Rare Earth Elements

Rare Earth Elements are not necessarily scarce in the Earth’s crust, but they are rarely found in concentrations that are economically viable to mine and difficult to separate. Gondwana Minerals specializes in the ethical extraction and complex processing of these critical technology metals.

Our Key REE Focus:

• • • • NdPr (Neodymium & Praseodymium): The critical components for high-strength permanent magnets used in 90% of Electric Vehicle (EV) motors and offshore wind turbines.

• • • • Dysprosium (Dy) & Terbium (Tb): Essential heavy rare earths added to magnets to allow them to operate at high temperatures without losing performance.

• • • • Yttrium (Y): Vital for superconductors, lasers, and advanced defense alloys.

Strategic Importance: Rare Earths are often called the “vitamins” of modern industry—required in small amounts but absolutely vital for health. Without a secure supply of REEs, the production of smartphones, guided missiles, and green energy infrastructure would halt. Gondwana Minerals provides a traceable, non-conflict alternative to the currently monopolized global supply chain.
