Rare earth elements: Alaska’s resource future?
Patti Epler | Dec 27, 2010
Rare earth minerals are so rare you probably couldn't name one unless you'd been forced to memorize the periodic table in chemistry class.
But Gov. Sean Parnell sees the future of Alaska in pockets of dysprosium, terbium, yttrium and other obscure rare earths that might be buried around the state. His proposed budget for fiscal year 2012 includes $500,000 for a strategic assessment of rare earth elements, or REEs, in the hopes of someday wresting business away from China, which now controls 97 percent of the rare earth production and export market.
"I see a day when we can unlock a new set of resources for our nation," Parnell said in unveiling his budget proposal earlier this month.
Parnell is hoping to take advantage of a resurgence of interest in REEs, which have become vital components in cell phones, computer hard drives, solar cells, wind turbines, hybrid vehicles and other clean energy technology. As the demand for REEs grows, the supply is starting to dwindle, mainly because China is cutting back on its production, some believe in an effort to drive the cost up.
Bob Swenson, director of the state division of geological and geophysical surveys, says his agency requested money for the survey so the state can begin to identify the potential and, in the future, play a key role in the domestic production of rare earth minerals.
Parnell's timing is impeccable. A week after his budget speech, the U.S. Department of Energy released its Critical Minerals Strategy, also aimed at kick-starting a fledgling U.S. rare earth industry. Government officials are worried that the minerals are vital to national defense, among other things, and they don't want to get squeezed by China or other countries, including Australia and Kazakhstan, that are starting to ramp up production.
To that end, Alaska Sen. Lisa Murkowski introduced legislation in June that would foster investment in exploration and development through expedited permitting and access to federal loan guarantees, among other things. At the time she noted that world demand for REEs was 120,000 tons per year and China had recently announced it would cap production and export on 35,000 tons annually over the next five years.
The House passed a similar measure in late September.
Ketchikan's dysprosium mother lode
Major deposits of REEs are known to be in Idaho, Montana, Wyoming and California, near the Nevada border, where a company called Molycorp just revitalized an old mine with a $531 million investment.
But as often happens when it comes to resource development, Alaska could be a major player, too.
A mine at Bokan Mountain near Ketchikan is thought to be one of the three largest sources of REEs in the U.S., probably the largest for dysprosium, which is used in magnets and particularly in magnets used in vehicles. A small amount of dysprosium goes a long way and allows magnets to keep operating when temperatures get high.
Bokan Mountain is thought to hold about 3.8 million tons of REEs or, as Murkowski put it, "more than enough to break China's stranglehold on the market and protect America's access to the rare earths that are vital to the production of cutting-edge technologies in this country."
Jack Lifton, an expert in REEs who spoke to the Alaska Miners Association conference in November, called Bokan Mountain the "most desirable deposit" in the country because the proportion of "heavy" rare earths like dysprosium to other REEs in the same deposit is high, and that means it's easier to separate the valuable dysprosium from the other REEs that might not be as economically feasible right now.
There are 17 different minerals considered to be REEs and, according to geologists, many of them are often found together in the same piece of ground, to put it simply. Something like dysprosium or terbium or neodymium, which was singled out as strategically important by the Energy Department, might be worth a mining company's investment, while others might not.
So, Lifton explained to the conference, according to a story in North of 60 Mining News, the process for extracting just the dysprosium can be long and relatively tedious, involving a chemical separation process followed by even further refining.
Alaska at the center of a heavy rare earth movement
Lifton calls dysprosium "the metal of the century" and thinks Alaska could become "the center of heavy rare earth production."
The operators of Bokan Mountain hope so, too. In a Dec. 22 newsletter, Ucore Rare Metals Inc. president Jim McKenzie updated the company's most recent round of testing at the mine and said the company hopes to embark on an aggressive development schedule in 2011.
He said the results confirm the enriched heavy rare earth content at the mine including "inordinate levels of dysprosium and terbium, metals recently earmarked by the U.S. Department of Energy as being critical to near term American energy policy."
Steve Borell, executive director of the Alaska Miners Association, thinks there's a great future in rare earth minerals in Alaska, partly because the mining operation as well as the processing facilities cause few environmental issues. He describes the processing as basically a large warehouse with a series of washing tanks that use different chemical reagents.
Borell would like to see a major company that has a need for REEs back a mining operation in Alaska, a company that could ride out the ups and downs of the rare earth metals market.
"I'm talking about somebody that sees a long-term strategic need -- a Boeing or General Dynamics, for instance -- that can put together a processing facility, somebody that can withstand the challenges the Chinese are likely to bring to the marketplace," Borell said.
He also thinks the situation warrants state assistance in the form of incentives, such as providing land for processing facilities.
Swenson, the state geologist, said a strategic assessment, if approved by the Legislature, will build on work already done by the mining industry and other agencies, the federal Bureau of Mines, for instance, or the U.S. Geological Survey.
Studies done over the past few decades have identified REEs in roughly eight different areas of the state, Borell and Swenson said, primarily in southeast Alaska, the Interior, the Seward Peninsula near Nome, and the Ambler district on the south slope of the Brooks Range.
The survey would involve looking more closely at the chemistry of the rocks, sampling and surface mapping. He does not envision this survey to include any drilling or core sampling.
Borell called the assessment "an excellent idea."
"This is what this nation needs," he said. "Somebody needs to step out and go find these things."

China cuts rare earth export quotas in early 2011
BEIJING | Tue Dec 28, 2010 4:10am EST
-
(Reuters) - China cut its first batch of rare earth export quotas for next year by more than one-tenth, in the face of a threat by the United States to complain to the World Trade Organization over the export limits.
-
China's Commerce Ministry allotted 14,446 tonnes of quotas to 31 companies, which was 11.4 percent less than the 16,304 tonnes it allocated to 22 companies in the first batch of 2010 quotas a year ago.
-
The Ministry said in a short statement on its website (www.mofcom.gov.cn) that it had added more producer companies to the quota list, but has cut volumes allocated to trading companies for the metals used in high-tech goods.
-
The export quotas were based on export volumes from the beginning of 2008 to October 2010, it added, without giving details.
-
China produces about 97 percent of rare earth elements, which are used worldwide in high-technology, clean energy and other products that exploit their special properties for magnetism, luminescence and strength.
-
The decision to cut export quotas and raise tariffs has inflamed trade ties with the United States, European Union and Japan in particular.
-
Last week, the U.S. Trade Representative office said China had refused U.S. requests to end export restraints on rare earths that have alarmed trade partners, and that Washington could complain to the WTO, which judges international trade disputes.
-
China's Commerce Ministry has yet to respond to that threat.
-
Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Jiang Yu declined to comment on Tuesday when asked about it at a regular news briefing, referring the question to "relevant departments." She did not elaborate.
-
The issue will add to already strained Sino-U.S. ties, which have been battered this year by arguments over everything from Tibet and Taiwan to the value of the Chinese currency. Chinese President Hu Jintao visits the United States next month.
-
Japan has been hard hit by the export curbs. Japanese imports of rare earths shrank further in November, reflecting the impact from China's de-facto ban on shipments of the minerals which was lifted late last month.
-
Japanese companies had complained of restrictions on shipments of the metals, vital for making auto parts and high-tech products, by Chinese customs officials following a spat over disputed islands in the East China Sea which led to a de-facto suspension by Beijing on exports from late September.
-
China is still exporting small volumes of rare earth to Japan. Analysts have suggested the de facto ban was probably because of differences in the way rare earths are categorized by each country, as well as a dribble of imports that had previously been delayed.
-
The European Union has also expressed concern at China's limiting of rare earths' exports, though the bloc's trade commissioner said earlier this month China had reiterated that rare earth supplies would be sustained.
-
China says its curbs are for environmental reasons and to guarantee supplies to domestic industrial consumers, but it has also insisted its dominance as a producer should give it more control over global prices.
-
Beijing has been trying hard to impose discipline on its chaotic rare earth sector and is expected to establish a rare earth industry association by May next year, said Wang Caifeng, an official with the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, speaking at a conference on Tuesday.
-
Wang said he hoped the body would perform the same function as the China Iron and Steel Association by ensuring the "orderly development" of the sector through pricing and export quotas.
-
Tougher environmental regulations for the rare earth sector are also expected to be unveiled next year, the China Business News reported on Tuesday.

Ucore Releases Additional 2010 Field Program Results from Bokan with Enriched Heavy Rare Earth Content
Dec 22, 2010 11:02:00 AM
HALIFAX, NOVA SCOTIA -- (MARKET WIRE) -- 12/22/10 -- Ucore Rare Metals Inc. (TSX VENTURE: UCU)(OTCQX: UURAF) ("Ucore" or "the Company") is pleased to release additional trench assay results from the Company's 2010 Field Program at the Bokan-Dotson Ridge rare earth project in southeast Alaska ("Bokan"). The Field Program, comprised of extensive mapping, surface trenching and channel sampling, was undertaken to supplement subsurface drilling and to obtain a greater understanding of overall deposit dimensions at the Dotson Zone. Partial results from the trench program were released on November 30, 2010, and the data presented herein represents the balance of trench assays from that program.

The 2010 Field Program was undertaken in part to facilitate the calculation of an NI 43-101 compliant resource estimate, pending from Ucore in early 2011. Channel samples were collected along the Dotson Zone, augmenting an extensive diamond drill program completed in the area during the 2010 exploration season. As reported in the previous trench program press release, a map showing the location of the 2010 trenches is available at the following web link: www.ucoreraremetals.com/trenches/

"The results again confirm the enriched heavy rare earth content at the Dotson Zone, including inordinate levels of dysprosium and terbium, metals recently earmarked by the US Department of Energy as being critical to near term American energy policy," said Jim McKenzie, President and CEO of Ucore. "The assays are also consistent with heavy rare earth concentrations reported from drill holes along this zone. The data in its totality indicate the presence of a significant heavy rare earth deposit in a state well known for supporting and bringing critical resource projects to term."
Last week, Alaska Governor Sean Parnell released his proposed Alaska State Budget for Fiscal Year 2012, which commences July 1, 2011. Contained in that budget is a US$500,000 allocation for the strategic assessment of rare earth element resources in Alaska.
"I see a day when we can unlock a new set of resources for our nation. Alaska can become America's source for rare earth elements," said Governor Parnell. "Currently, the Peoples Republic of China controls 97 percent of the world market for rare earth elements. Recently, China imposed trade quotas and increased taxes on the export of these mineral elements. American consumers and our national security depend heavily on access to rare earth elements. We cannot afford to be dependent on foreign sources of rare earth elements - and we believe Alaska's subsurface contains vast quantities."

The data in its totality indicate the presence of a significant heavy rare earth deposit in a state well known for supporting and bringing critical resource projects to term."
Last week, Alaska Governor Sean Parnell released his proposed Alaska State Budget for Fiscal Year 2012, which commences July 1, 2011. Contained in that budget is a US$500,000 allocation for the strategic assessment of rare earth element resources in Alaska.
"I see a day when we can unlock a new set of resources for our nation. Alaska can become America's source for rare earth elements," said Governor Parnell. "Currently, the Peoples Republic of China controls 97 percent of the world market for rare earth elements. Recently, China imposed trade quotas and increased taxes on the export of these mineral elements. American consumers and our national security depend heavily on access to rare earth elements. We cannot afford to be dependent on foreign sources of rare earth elements - and we believe Alaska's subsurface contains vast quantities."

Ucore Comments on U.S. Dept. of Energy Report

HALIFAX, NOVA SCOTIA--(Marketwire - Dec. 17, 2010) - Ucore Rare Metals Inc. (TSX VENTURE:UCU - News; OTCQX:UURAF) ("Ucore" or the "Company") is pleased to comment on a report released this week by the US Department of Energy (the "Department") regarding near term domestic Critical Metals Strategy. The highly anticipated report, based on extensive research by the Department undertaken over the past year, finds the US economy is dangerously dependent on China for its rare earth supplies and as a result could face significant disruptions in supply and shortages.
The Department's strategy examines the role of rare earth metals and other materials in the clean energy economy and focuses on materials used in four technologies: wind turbines, electric vehicles, solar cells and energy-efficient lighting.
The report predicts it will take a concerted effort on the part of the US to break domestic dependence on Chinese supplies. It concludes that several clean energy technologies use materials at risk of supply disruptions in the short term. Of the materials analyzed, five rare earth metals (Dysprosium, Terbium, Europium, Yttrium and Neodymium), as well as the non rare earth metal indium, are assessed as most critical to energy policy. It calls for a number of responses to the issue including: (i) Aggressively working to achieve alternate supplies of these critical materials; (ii) Identifying appropriate substitutes to rare earths where possible; and (iii) Improving recycling, reuse, and more efficient use of critical materials.
"This report is important to Ucore shareholders, since it highlights the metals at the greatest shortfall and at the highest level of critical strategic risk," said Jim McKenzie, President and CEO of Ucore. "Strikingly, Ucore's U.S.-based Bokan Mountain project has exhibited anomalously high content of four of the five rare earth elements set out by the US DOE as being at greatest risk: Dysprosium, Terbium, Europium and Yttrium, all of which are classified as Heavy Rare Earths. Recognized as the largest historically documented Heavy Rare Earth deposit on US soil and considered by many to be the nearest domestic HREE asset to production, Bokan is well positioned to address these critical shortages. Increasingly, Bokan is being revealed as vital asset in emerging US energy policy, and as a result, will no doubt experience increasing pressure to be brought to near term production."
"This (US DOE) strategy is an important step in planning for growing global demand for clean energy products that will help strengthen the U.S. economy and create jobs," said Secretary of Energy Steven Chu. "Ensuring reliable access to critical materials will help the United States lead in the new clean energy economy."
The Department additionally comments that data concerning many of the issues considered in its strategy are difficult to ascertain. In an effort to develop a greater understanding of the issue, the US DOE has indicated that it intends to develop an immediate integrated research agenda addressing critical materials, using information obtained from three technical workshops convened during November and December of 2010. The Department also announced a plan to develop an updated critical materials strategy within the next 12 months.
