Rare earth elements (ree) are becoming increasingly important in electronic devices used in the defense, alternative energy, and communications industries Minable deposits of rees are found in only a few locations. We support the geospatial component of mineral resources program research and provide public access to research results and geospatial information We facilitate all aspects of the data life cycle, including the publication and archiving of geospatial information and products. Rare earth elements (rees)—a subset of critical minerals and materials (figure 1)—are essential materials in a broad range of technologies significant to national security, energy systems, medicine, and consumer products (figure 2). Ree drummond, aka the pioneer woman, became a beloved household name on the food network, but she first won hearts as a blogger sharing photos of her family’s idyllic life on the ranch
Rare earth elements (rees), which comprise of only 17 elements from the entire periodic table, play a critical role to our national security, energy independence, environmental future, and economic growth. The rare earth elements (rees) are comprised of the lanthanide elements plus scandium and yttrium, which have similar physical properties and are often found in the same ores and deposits. However, meeting the rising demand for rare earths isn’t easy, due to challenges in their extraction and processing.
