When I remember well, it can take several years before a mine can get exploited. An extra element in this is that there few companies world wide able to start up a mining project, and they are all busy for the moment.
So practically, when do you think both sites could go open / up and running? Not less than 5 years I assume.

Kenth: we are in the process of developing a mechanism for providing regular, updated information on rare earths deposits as well as REO market pricing. One caveat is that the prices for some of the lesser-used heavy REOs tends to be less reliable, since there are less data points.

prescient11: glad to hear you can now see the chart.

Gareth,

Thanks for the update, the new chart is perfectly readable, and yeah, I’m on a laptop.

Gareth, will/does TMR have current data on REO pricing?

One further comment: the data in the chart is based on metric units – I converted published data from Rare Element Resources [RER] that was not in metric, into metric. That’s why the Inferred Mineral Resource number might appear to be a little lower than the one published by RER – it’s because the data is in metric tonnes, and not in [short] tons.

Folks – we’ve added a separate link below the screenshot – let us know if that works for you?

Thanks

I get the feeling of the opening of a new frontier with names like Bear Lodge. I, too, tried to enlarge the chart but without success. I am not familiar with Europium. Can you tell us a bit about it, Mr. Lifton?

Thank you for the report. Gareth’s table was very useful (I was obviously using older data) and was perfectly readable on a 27′ iMac but I can see how it might be a bit challenging on a laptop or netbook.

Keep up the good work guys – it is appreciated!

Prescient11: I’ve made a tweak – did it help? If not, we’ll go to Plan B :-)

Jack, thanks for the great report. Just so you know, the table in your report cannot really be read even when you blow it up. I would love to see what it says but you can’t make it out.
