TMR is first and foremost interested in the rare-earths sector from the strategic point of view. We are interested in the potential value that specific rare-earth deposits and their development could have, in the furtherance of the needs and demands of the overall technology supply chain.

The TMR Advanced Rare-Earth Projects Index consists of rare-earth projects currently underway around the world, which have been formally defined as a mineral resource or reserve under the guidelines of a relevant scheme such as NI 43-101, the JORC Code or the SAMREC Code.

The Index, last updated on May 20, 2013, currently consists of 51 rare-earth mineral resources, associated with 46 advanced rare-earth projects, 44 different companies and located in 32 different regions within 15 different countries. The details are shown in the tables below (use the drop down menu above each table to change how many projects are shown at one time, and sort the various columns by clicking on the column headers).

Other Notes:

  • Over time, the Index will expand as mineral-resource estimates for additional projects are defined.
  • The Index includes advanced rare-earth projects known to Technology Metals Research, LLC (TMR), based on public-domain information only. Therefore, it is possible that there are other advanced rare-earth projects currently in development or operation, which are not included in the Index, and / or at the time of the last update, were not known to TMR.
  • Only advanced rare-earth projects that are fully or partially owned or operated by corporations, or other non-state-run entities, are included in the Index.
  • At present, the Index deliberately excludes any advanced rare-earth projects (as defined above) located in either China or India.
  • All value estimates (for in-situ REOs within each resource, or the unit basket prices for finished products) exclude Ho-Er-Tm-Yb-Lu oxides from the pricing models.

Disclosures concerning the above companies: Gareth Hatch is neither a shareholder of, director of nor a consultant to any of the companies listed in the TMR Advanced Rare-Earth Projects Index. Jack Lifton is not a shareholder of any of the companies listed above. He is a consultant to Rare Element Resources Ltd., Ucore Rare Metals Inc. and Tasman Metals Ltd. He is a director of AMR Mineral Metal Inc. and a member of the supervisory board of Tantalus Rare Earths AG (statement last updated May 20, 2013).
