REIA Webinar: What Does the Future Hold for Rare Earths?
3 June 2021 at 13:00 - 15:00
Rare earths remain on the front-line coverage of media. The demand seems robust as countries gradually shift towards electromobility 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.
