The balance between REE surplus <strong>and</strong> deficit<br />
• Dem<strong>and</strong> profile of each REE vs. natural occurrence:<br />
• Ratio Dy : Pr + Nd ≈ 1:50 – 1:2 for permanent magnets<br />
• Ratio Dy : Pr + Nd ≈ 1:100 – 1:50 <strong>in</strong> typical LREE m<strong>in</strong>erals<br />
• Impetus for f<strong>in</strong>d<strong>in</strong>g new sources of HREE-rich m<strong>in</strong>erals<br />
• Even HREE-rich m<strong>in</strong>erals conta<strong>in</strong> significant LREEs<br />
