Description
Description | The Phalaborwa Rare Earths Project is a US-backed initiative to extract rare earth elements from industrial mining waste in South Africa. The project involves extracting rare earths from two large dunes of phosphogypsum, a byproduct of mining waste and phosphate rock processing. It aims to reduce US dependence on China for critical minerals used in electronics, robotics, defense systems, and electric vehicles. The project is expected to start extraction in 2028 and operate for 16 years, with construction of the processing factory anticipated in early 2027. |
