Visualizing 30 Years of Rare Earth Production, by Country
The global rare earths industry has transformed over the last three decades. In the 1990s, the U.S. was still a major producer, anchored by the Mountain Pass mine in California.

South Korea has agreed to pay the USA 350 Billion Dollars for a lowering of the Tariff’s charged against them by the United States. Additionally, they have agreed to buy our Oil and Gas in vast quantities, and investments into our Country by wealthy South Korean Companies and Businessmen will exceed 600 Billion Dollars.
