Russian President Vladimir Putin, speaking to state TV Kremlin on Monday, said that a U.S.-Ukraine possible deal involving rare earth metals is not a concern for Russia, according to Reuters.

He also offered the U.S. the opportunity for joint exploration of the country's rare earth metals deposits, as well as the supply of aluminum to the U.S. domestic market, under a future economic deal, reported Reuters.

Russia has the world's fifth-largest reserves of rare earth metals, after China, Brazil, India and Australia, according to the U.S. Geological Survey data.

"A site in SA near the grazing animals of the Kruger National Park has become a focal point for US efforts to challenge China’s rare earth dominance, with the US pledging financial support to extract rare earths from gypsum waste at a site in Limpopo. However, the project’s viability is under threat due to a 60% drop in rare earth prices since 2022, casting doubt as to whether the project will secure the $250m in funding required to begin operations.

The US International Development Finance Corporation has already invested $50m in the project, reflecting a desire to support African critical mineral projects with an estimated $700m in proposed future investments. However, low prices resulting from subsidised Chinese production have led analysts to question the economic feasibility of moving forward with many of these greenfield projects."

“The US wouldn’t notice if trade with South Africa disappeared. It does not need rare earth minerals anymore from them when it has begun discovering them at home,”notes Pollak, who is also poised to become Trump’s new envoy to the African country.

"the plant will be rerun in January/February to prove up final stage separation."

- is there any news, results?

"The answer is there is a $500m fund set aside to pay for rehabilitation , that was mentioned a few years ago."

This indicates that the phosphogypsum in Canadium is "clean", with a very low REE content (0.002%). Extraction of REE is not cost-effective.

It makes more sense to extract REE from Richard Bay phosphogypsum. Since it processes phosphate rock from Phalaborwa. The effluent from this plant consists of about 10,000 tonnes/day of waste gypsum, containing 20-30% free water and which is pumped into the sea or stockpiled.

Currently they are interested in rare earth metals of Ukraine. However, Ukraine does not control 70% of rare earth metal deposits. https://eadaily.com/en/news/2025/02/04/ukraine-does-not-control-70-of-rare-earth-metal-deposits
