Energy Fuels successfully achieves commercial production of high-quality rare earths at White Mesa Mill in Utah, while also advancing uranium production.
In a groundbreaking move, Energy Fuels and Astron Corporation Limited have entered into definitive agreements to jointly develop the Donald Rare Earth and Mineral Sands Project located in Australia. This project is expected to provide a significant supply of rare earth elements critical for electric vehicles, clean energy, and national security technologies. The Donald Project, […]
Norwegian Mining Group Discovers Large Deposits of Rare Earth Minerals
The mining industry in Norway has been rocked by an exciting discovery made by Rare Earths Norway (REN). The company has unearthed the largest deposit of rare earths in Europe, known as the Fensfelt deposit, boasting an impressive 8.8 million tonnes of total rare earth oxides (TREO). This discovery is set to revolutionize the green […]
US Government Lays the Foundation for Onshoring of Uranium Exploration
The uranium market has reached a critical juncture. Supply constraints, uranium inventory drawdowns, extension of existing nuclear power generation projects as well as the development of advanced nuclear technologies have rocketed demand levels. Unfortunately, there are almost no safe domestic supplies for uranium. China and Russia control 60 percent of the globe’s uranium enrichment capacity, […]
Iran acquires 300 tons of uranium from Niger for nuclear purposes
The Islamic Republic of Iran has been making headlines with its recent purchase of 300 tons of refined uranium from Niger in a secret deal, fueling concerns about Tehran’s nuclear ambitions. The London-based independent news organization Iran International broke the news about Iran’s clandestine negotiations with Niger’s Junta government, shedding light on the covert agreement. […]
Restocking Drives China’s Rare Earth Exports to Increase by 36% Year-on-Year
China’s exports of rare earths surged in May, reaching a record high of 6,217 metric tons, according to customs data released on Friday. This marks a 35.9% increase from the same period last year, driven by a wave of restocking from overseas buyers. Rare earths, a group of 17 minerals, are essential components in a […]
Norway Claims Largest Rare Earth Discovery in Europe
Rare Earths Norway (REN) has announced the discovery of Europe’s largest deposit of rare earth elements at the Fen Carbonatite Complex in Norway, with an inferred mineral resource of 559 Mt at 1.57% Total Rare Earth Oxides (TREO). This includes 8.8 Mt of TREO with a high potential for economic extraction. Within this resource, there […]
Antiques Column: Dr. Lori Discusses the Collectible Glow of Vintage Uranium Glass
Glass collectors are always on the lookout for unique and rare pieces to add to their collection, and one type of glass that has been gaining popularity is uranium glass. Also known as Vaseline glass, this special type of glass contains uranium dioxide in the glass mixture, giving it a distinct yellowish-green color that glows […]
New Research: Extraction of Europium from Old Fluorescent Light Bulbs Using Redox Reactions
Researchers at ETH Zurich have developed a new redox method that can extract and recycle europium from real-life waste, such as compact fluorescent lamps, in just three simple steps. This protocol yields the lanthanide in quantities at least 50 times higher than the current state-of-the-art solutions used by the chemical industry. Rare earth elements, including […]
Standard Uranium Discovers Anomalous Radioactivity and Hydrothermal Alteration during Inaugural Drill Program at Canary Project
Standard Uranium Completes Inaugural Drilling at Canary Project, Encounters Anomalous Radioactivity Standard Uranium Ltd. has successfully completed the inaugural drilling activities at its Canary Project in the eastern Athabasca Basin, northern Saskatchewan, revealing localized anomalous radioactivity and promising rock types typical of basement-hosted uranium deposits. The Project, covering 7,302 hectares, is currently under a three-year […]
Mineral Sands Passing Through Time
VHM on Track to Reach First Production in 2025 The countdown is on for VHM, with the explorer on track to reach first production in 2025 at its flagship Goschen rare earths and mineral sands project in north-west Victoria. Following a successful public hearing process on the project’s environment effects statement (EES), VHM is gearing […]
