Out of the 17 REEs, neodymium and samarium can be used to create resilient magnets that withstand high temperatures, making them perfect for mission-critical electronic and defence applications.<\/p>\n<p>Based on data analysed by the United States Geological Survey, 37.9% of our planet\u2019s REE reserves can be found in China alongside the highest mine production activities. While the US has 1.5 million tons in reserves \u2013 that accounts for about 1.3% of the world\u2019s REE reserves \u2013 and the second-largest mine production, China was <a href=\"denied:chrome-extension:\/\/efaidnbmnnnibpcajpcglclefindmkaj\/viewer.html?pdfurl=https%3A%2F%2Fpubs.usgs.gov%2Fperiodicals%2Fmcs2020%2Fmcs2020-rare-earths.pdf&#038;clen=133680&#038;chunk=true\">responsible for 80%<\/a> of its rare earth imports in 2019.<\/p>\n<p>But what if China decided to close the tap or reduce the amount of REEs it exports as it did during the 2019 US-China trade wars? While China is unlikely to invade Taiwan based on the Russian aggression in Europe, it may still decide to supply President Vladimir Putin with weapons. That move would trigger economic isolation and another, potentially more serious, trade war between the US and China.<\/p>\n<h4 id=\"h-the-importance-of-rees\"><strong>The importance of REEs<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>The US Department of the Interior released a list of 35 minerals it deems essential to the economic and national security in 2018 (updated in 2022), amongst them many REEs. The problem for the US is that the local production of these materials is hugely limited.<\/p>\n<p>The extent of reliance on imports varies from mineral to mineral. Beryllium is mainly used to create lightweight material used in fighter jets, lithium is essential for modern battery production and tin is used in electronics, including soldier semiconductors, a sector that is projected to reach a value of $17.5bn by 2030.<\/p>\n<p>Whereas the US produces some of the minerals mentioned above, it entirely relies on China and other countries for many other supplies. Cerium is used in batteries and in most devices with a screen and magnets forged from neodymium and samarium are impervious to extreme temperatures that are used in fighter jet fin actuators, missile guidance, control systems, aircraft and tank motors, satellite communications and radar and sonar systems.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Supply chain<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Founder and advisor to the board at USA Rare Earth Pini Althaus tells <em>Global Defence Technology<\/em>: \u201cThat\u2019s an extremely precarious position for any country to be in. The only way to have a secure supply chain is to start developing projects in this country [the US].\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Domestic efforts to extract rare earths have been underway in the past decades in states like Wyoming, Texas and California with varying degrees of success. Molycorp, for instance, reopened the longstanding Mountain Pass mine in California in the early 2000s only to go bankrupt in 2015.<\/p>\n<section class=\"newsletter-b2b\" data-xl-column=\"7\" data-lg-column=\"7\" data-md-column=\"7\" data-column=\"7\">\n    <span class=\"newsletter-b2b__subtitle\">Data, insights and analysis delivered to you<\/span><br \/>\n    <a href=\"https:\/\/www.army-technology.com\/all-newsletters\" class=\"newsletter-b2b__anchor\">View all newsletters <span class=\"icon icon-chevron-right\"><\/span><\/a><br \/>\n    <span class=\"newsletter-b2b__author\">By the Army Technology team<\/span><br \/>\n    <span class=\"newsletter-b2b__title\">Sign up to our newsletters<\/span><br \/>\n    <button class=\"newsletter-b2b__button\" id=\"newsletter\">Sign up here<\/button><br \/>\n<\/section>\n<p>Other solutions lawmakers and officials have been pushing for to weaken China\u2019s control over the rare earth sector are stockpiling critical minerals or developing substitutes. The latest attempt was in 2019.<\/p>\n<p>Earth and natural resources intelligence company Terra Intel CEO Mike Hanley says: \u201cNow the US has a six months\u2019 REE supply for defence applications and it is held in a protected cell for 30 months. It\u2019s very important for guidance systems, submarines, guided missile cruisers, but also for the MANPADS and other shoulder-fired rockets currently used in Ukraine, too.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The US began funding the construction of rare earths processing facilities a few years ago, but after the minerals are processed, they must be turned into magnets to be used in military hardware. None of that happens in the US today, while China and Japan are the largest specialised magnet producers.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"314\" src=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Dismounted-Javelin.jpg\" alt=\"Javelin missile\" class=\"wp-image-20925\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Dismounted-Javelin.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.army-technology.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2017\/09\/Dismounted-Javelin-300x157.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Dismounted-Javelin-397x208-1.jpg 397w, https:\/\/www.army-technology.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2017\/09\/Dismounted-Javelin-180x94.jpg 180w\" \/><figcaption>Javelin has been a successful dismounted weapon system, now it could be fitted to vehicles \u2013 Photo courtesy of US Army<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h4><strong>REE extraction and the environment<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Other efforts were made by US President Joe Biden with his $2tr infrastructure legislation that seeks, amongst other things, to rebuild the country\u2019s semiconductor industry. That is on top of an executive order signed in February last year that is set to review gaps in the domestic supply chain for rare earths, and in March the same year, the Department of Energy announced a $30m initiative that will aid the research and securing of US REE supply chain.<\/p>\n<p>Between the 1960s and 1980s, before high domestic environmental pressures and cheaper foreign labour arrived, the US was the global leader in REE mining. So, rebuilding the entire supply chain is possible in practical terms, but business, environmental and political factors may make endeavours more complicated, especially over the short term.<\/p>\n<p>Althaus thinks REE infrastructure could be built in a safe way and the problem that does not allow the break-away from Chinese dependence lies in the red tape. \u201cIt\u2019s so much bureaucracy around permissions, you\u2019ve got NGOs and others that step in the way and make it very difficult for projects in certain parts of the country to actually be developed,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd we\u2019re not talking about going into a national forest and start to mine there. We\u2019re talking about places where you\u2019d have a mine in Nevada or elsewhere, where there really no environmental concerns. But concerns are being either invented, fabricated or manufactured.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>However, many REE are found within radioactive materials that can leach into water supplies. Extracting, processing and disposal of material can also cause environmental disruptions, and regulations in China are often much more lenient than in the US.<\/p>\n<p>Unless the US can find ways to navigate regulatory and infrastructure challenges to its domestic REE extraction efforts, breaking its reliance on China for these critical materials \u2013 in defence as well as other sectors \u2013 will prove difficult.<\/p>\n<div class=\"c-related-companies-article\">\n<h6 class=\"c-related-companies-article__title\">Related Companies<\/h6>\n<div class=\"related-storefronts c-related-companies-article__single\" data-url=\"https:\/\/www.army-technology.com\/contractors\/software\/mpl\/\">\n            <a href=\"https:\/\/www.army-technology.com\/contractors\/software\/mpl\/\" class=\"c-related-companies-article__img-link\"><br \/>\n            <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/lead-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"c-related-companies-article__meta\">\n<h6 class=\"c-related-companies-article__title\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.army-technology.com\/contractors\/software\/mpl\/\">MPL<\/a><\/h6>\n<p class=\"c-related-companies-article__excerpt\">Rugged Embedded COTS Systems for Military and Aerospace Applications<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"related-storefronts c-related-companies-article__single\" data-url=\"https:\/\/www.army-technology.com\/contractors\/antennas\/precision-technic-defence\/\">\n            <a href=\"https:\/\/www.army-technology.com\/contractors\/antennas\/precision-technic-defence\/\" class=\"c-related-companies-article__img-link\"><br \/>\n            <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Small_Arms_intro_805x.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a><\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"related-storefronts c-related-companies-article__single\" data-url=\"https:\/\/www.army-technology.com\/contractors\/armoured\/general-dynamics-european-land-systems-wheel\/\">\n            <a href=\"https:\/\/www.army-technology.com\/contractors\/armoured\/general-dynamics-european-land-systems-wheel\/\" class=\"c-related-companies-article__img-link\"><br \/>\n            <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/GD_EuroLandSystems_logo_square.png\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a><\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"whitepaper__content border-none\">\n<section class=\"whitepaper\">\n<div class=\"enquiry__form\">\n<article class=\"c-story c-story--whitepaper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"c-story__text--whitepaper\">Free Buyer&#8217;s Guide<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"c-story--whitepaper--left\">\n<figure class=\"c-story__image\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t  <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Top-Guide-to-the-Suppliers-of-Antennas-Masts-Towers-thumb.jpg\" alt=\"img\" class=\"c-story__image-wp\" \/><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t  <\/figure>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"c-story--whitepaper--right\">\n<h3>Top Guide to the Suppliers of Antennas, Masts &#038;
