Adjusted
to suit
“RareX has the potential to become a near term
producer of Phosphate fertilizer products on a
pathway to Rare Earths.
“I joined to help RareX define its product roadmap
and to place products into the fertilizer industry.
“By getting this right at the beginning of the project,
I can foresee the journey to rare earths becoming
lower risk, lower capital and more sustainable.”

NdPr Enabling
Decarbonisation of our Society
NdFeB permanent magnet motors are crucial in
reducing greenhouse gas emissions as they are at
the heart of so many electric mobility solutions.
Green, clean electric mobility solutions require
ethical, sustainable, transparently produced NdPr.

“With every
incremental, additional
sale of 5.5 million EVs
the world needs another
Rare Earth producer
equivalent to the annual
output of Lynas.*
By 2030 the world
needs ~9, by 2040 ~15
additional producers.”

NdPr Pricing And
Market Information
The Market
Overall market sentiment is positive,
due to significant progress in the Emobility industry and rising EV sales
volumes. The price has been declining
since March 2022, impacted by global
economic sentiment and geopolitical
risk. We predict that the volatility of the
NdPr oxide price will continue, and that
when global economic sentiment
improves, the Rare Earth price will
recover, since majority of industry
experts agree that shortage is looming.
