Rare Earths Project  

This section contains 8 Powerpoint presentations (in PDF format) on the Rare Earths from the SME 2010 Phoenix Annual Meeting. 

SME's Annual Meetings are one of the best places to come to hear the latest advances in the Rare Earths.  These papers include exploration for new deposits, mining and beneficiation, and some of the new and exciting uses of these increasingly important strategic materials.

Please also see 2010 SME Annual Meeting Recorded Sessions - Geology IV Rare Earths on our website.

We hope you will plan on attending the Rare Earths and Strategic Materials sessions at the 2011 SME Annual Meeting & Exhibit, February 27th through March 2nd in Denver, CO.
