Brazil Rare-Earth Ambitions Clash With Strained Mining Regulator
Brazil Rare-Earth Ambitions Clash With Strained Mining Regulator Brazil’s aim to become a leader in rare-earths mining is running head-on into budget cuts and staffing shortages at the sector’s regulatory agency. The Latin American nation is pursuing partnerships with other countries on critical minerals and rare earths, yet its National Mining Agency, or ANM, lacks the resources to keep up with inspections and meet international commitments, said Director-General Mauro Sousa.
China’s grip on rare-earth magnets could crush US drone industry before it grows
Modern battlefields consume drones the way 20th-century conflicts consumed artillery shells: by the thousands, every day, with no end in sight. Ukraine built 5 million drones last year. Russia launched 805 in a single night against Ukrainian cities.
Rare-Earth Developer Aclara Seeks US Backing for Chilean Project
View of magnesium chloride mountains of the lithium mine of the Chilean company SQM (Sociedad Quimica Minera) in the Atacama Desert, Calama, Chile, on September 12, 2022. - The turquoise glimmer of open-air pools meets the dazzling white of a seemingly endless salt desert where hope and disillusionment collide in Latin America's "lithium triangle." A key component of batteries used in electric cars, demand has exploded for the "white gold" found in Argentina, Bolivia and Chile in quantities...
The West still doesn’t grasp the danger of China’s rare earth endgame
If you drive a hybrid or an electric vehicle (EV), fly on a modern jet, or expect American weapons to hit their targets, you owe thanks to a small group of elements known as heavy rare earths. For more than a decade, China has been the world’s near-sole supplier. Last year, Beijing shut that door to Western defense companies.
Chemical tuning of magnetic ordering and cryogenic magnetocaloric response in zircon-type Gd1-xErxVO4
arXiv:2606.08916v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Chemical substitution offers an effective route to tune magnetic ordering and magnetocaloric performance in rare-earth oxides for cryogenic refrigeration. Here we investigate the structural evo lution, magnetic properties, and magnetocaloric effect of polycrystalline zircon-type Gd1-xErxVO4 (x=0, 0.1, 0.25, 0.5, and 0.75). Powder X-ray diffraction confirms that all samples crystallize in the tetragonal zircon structure without detectable...
EU trade chief calls for new tool to diversify supply away from China
BRUSSELS — EU trade chief Maroš Šefčovič has called for a new “diversification instrument” to help ensure that industry is not dependent on single sources of supply in sensitive sectors such as chips and rare earths. “Diversification requires a dedicated instrument,” Šefčovič said at the European Policy Center’s Brussels Economic Security Forum on Friday. “The model I have in mind is the Energy Union — a crucial undertaking for Europe,” said the EU trade chief, citing an initiative that he...
