What are rare earth metals?

Rare earth metals are a set of 17 similar metallic elements and are in increasing demand as they are essential in the production of consumer electronics and devices.

They aren’t rare, contrary to their designation, and can be found all over the world. However, they are considered “rare”, in a sense, due to them being scattered in small deposits, rather than clustered together.

Our current project

Our initial exploratory examination of the mud from the seabed located just off the Ogasawara Islands area found extremely high concentrations of rare earth elements.

Upon further examination and a more detailed study of the area, our operators and researchers determined that an area of 400 square kilometers contains over 16 million tons of rare earth oxides, enough to supply the market for hundreds of years.
