Description | The Phalaborwa Rare Earths Project is an exploratory project to extract rare earth elements from industrial mining waste (phosphogypsum dunes) at an old chemical processing plant in Phalaborwa, South Africa. The project aims to supply rare earth elements used in high-tech products such as electronic devices, robotics, defense systems, and electric vehicles. It is supported by a $50 million equity investment from the U.S. International Development Finance Corporation (DFC) through partner TechMet. The project plans to start extraction in 2028 and operate for 16 years, using up to 90% renewable energy and aiming to be a low-cost producer comparable to Chinese producers. |
