The daily raw coal output of the 523 Chinese coking coal mines under Mysteel's tracking fell by 2.78 per cent from a week prior to reach an average of 1.87 million tonnes/day during December 18-24, nearing a two-month low. In parallel, their daily washed coal production over the same week also...
On Saturday, the Indian government shared its intention to initiate a scheme for boosting the production of sintered Rare Earth Permanent Magnets (REPM). This scheme by the Indian government mainly focuses on enhancing the country’s participation in the global advanced materials market while...
NASA has launched a state-of-the-art high-tech sensor, which is being used to hunt critical minerals throughout the American West. This sensor technology, called AVIRIS-5 (Airborne Visible/Infrared Imaging Spectrometer-5), is built on technology created by NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL),...
Even after President Donald Trump announced a rare earth “truce” with Chinese President Xi Jinping in late October, US companies say the promised relief has yet to materialise on the ground. Market participants report that China is still limiting access to key rare earth inputs needed to build...
Rio Grande do Norte is set to receive another major boost in renewable energy. The Chinese group CPFL Energia confirmed an investment of about BRL 800 million (USD 144.8 million) to install new photovoltaic generation projects in the state, strengthening its position as one of Brazil’s leading hubs...
India’s rare earth footprint spans coastlines, riverbeds and hard rock terrains, giving the country one of the more widely distributed resource bases globally. According to the government data, India hosts around 7-7.2 million tonnes of rare earth elements oxide (REO) contained within 13.15 million...
The federal critical mineral policy of the US in 2026 will be shifting its focus beyond rare earths towards the high-risk inputs, likely antimony and tungsten. This is mainly because the US are highly dependent on China, Tajikistan and Russia to receive a proper supply of these minerals in its...
ElementUSA has confirmed plans to invest USD 850 million in a rare earth and critical minerals refining project in Gramercy, Louisiana, advancing a strategy first outlined several years ago. The project is likely to generate 200 direct jobs on site. In addition, Louisiana Economic Development...
On December 8, a joint working group from the China Electronics Standardization Institute and the IEEE Hydrogen Energy Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) Series Standards visited Shaanxi Hydrogen Research Institute. They engaged in in-depth discussions on standard development in the application field of...
Vietnam is recently being portrayed as “following China’s playbook” on rare earths after it introduced a ban on exports. But if studied closely, they are structurally different with two distinct objectives. While China has restricted its rare earth exports, effective April 4, 2025, using licensing,...
The US energy landscape has abandoned the ‘green nation’ ideal and instead adopted a hardline approach of "energy dominance." The enactment of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA) signifies not only legislative updates but also a structural overhaul of the nation's energy framework and...
Australian-based industrial technology company Metallium has agreed to work with a US company called ElementUSA to extract two important metals, gallium and scandium, from red mud at its demonstration facility in Gramercy, Louisiana.The project will focus on using Metallium’s proprietary Flash...
