REIA Webinar on What Does the Future Hold for Rare Earths
DATE : June 03, 2021
LOCATION : Online
Rare earths remain on the front-line coverage of media. The demand seems robust as countries gradually shift towards electro mobility and extensive deployment of wind energy. Huge investments are required as IEA warned recently to develop a sustainable and diversified rare earth supply chain and to meet the growing demand. While the market looks vigorous, geo-political developments cast doubt on the sector’s ability to attract investors to the REE sector.
