Rare Earths: Securing Supply Chains, Materials, and Technologies

STO-EN-AVT-285

Our modern society relies on the use of rare-earth elements – the “vitamins’ of the technological age. Rare earths are enablers – vital for the operation of numerous defence and commercial end-use applications. This Lecture Series informed and educated the audience on the entire rare-earth supply chain, including issues relating to supply and demand, production, end-use applications, and efforts to reduce dependency on these elements. Topics to be covered were: Rare-earth supply and demand dynamics; End-use applications for rare earths; Rare-earth geology and mineral-resource development; Mining, minerals processing and extractive metallurgy; Separation, metal and alloy production; Efforts to “reduce, re-use and recycle” rare earths; and Rare-earth materials engineering research and development.
