This document summarizes several US government reports on critical metals and national security. It finds there is no consensus definition across reports on what constitutes a "critical" or "strategic" metal. Definitions vary in terms of criteria like importance for defense applications, substitution difficulties, import dependence, and supply chain vulnerabilities. This lack of a common definition has hindered the US from developing a coherent strategy and allowed other countries like China to make more progress. The document reviews recurring themes in definitions and critiques the narrow definition used by the Defense Department's Strategic Materials Protection Board.
Rare Earth Elements in National Defense: Background, Oversight Issues, and Op...Rare Earths / Rare Metals
Members of Congress have expressed concern over U.S. acquisition of rare earth materials composed of rare earth elements used in various components of defense weapon systems.

The document provides an overview of rare earth elements (REE), including:
1) REE are a group of 17 metals that are relatively plentiful in the Earth's crust but rarely found in high concentrations. China dominates global REE production and reserves, accounting for over 90% of supply.
2) REE have diverse industrial and technology applications, with the most significant end uses being magnets, phosphors, catalysts, and metal alloys. Demand has grown steadily over the past decade, led by magnets.
3) Supply risks are high due to China's market dominance and increasing domestic consumption. Prices of REE oxides skyrocketed in 2011 but have since
Mark Smith, CEO of Molycorp, testified before the House Subcommittee on Asia and the Pacific regarding rare earth elements. He had recently visited China where officials signaled that China intends to reduce rare earth exports and focus on domestic demand. Smith recommends that the US focus on ramping up domestic rare earth production rather than blaming China, in order to reduce US dependence on Chinese supplies. He also suggests learning from China's example of using rare earth resources for strategic economic and security benefits.
Fieldex Exploration is a mineral exploration company focused on base metals and rare earth elements. It recently expanded into rare earth exploration after discovering radiometric anomalies on its Lac Sairs property in Quebec's Kipawa alkaline rare earth complex. Demand for rare earths is growing due to their use in green technologies and China's export restrictions. Fieldex will focus on the Lac Sairs property in the coming month as it may contain a viable rare earth deposit. The company owns over 52,000 hectares of land in the prolific Temiscamingue volcanic greenstone belt of Quebec.
This bulletin looks at the ongoing changes in Chinese REE policies, and muses how this will affect western access to rare earths in the relatively short term. There is also a discussion of the developments in the world of niobium.

The document provides an overview of the law's requirements and recommends KPMG's approach for conducting supply chain due diligence in accordance with international standards.
Rare Metals Report on Tantalum & Niobium by Jacob Securities (July 19, 2011)Rare Earths / Rare Metals
Luisa Moreno, Ph.D, Equity Research Analyst with Jacob Securities Inc. has released their premier research report on the rare metals tantalum and niobium. The report mentions the listed companies with clear exposure to tantalum and niobium. This includes Commerce Resources Corp. (TSXv: CCE), Noventa Ltd. (TSX: NTA) and Pacific Wildcat Resources Corp. (TSXv: PAW).
Terence van der Hout attended the Critical Materials Investment Symposium in Vancouver and provides a summary of topics discussed. Innovation is starting to bypass strategic metals like rare earth elements in areas such as magnets, drive trains, and catalytic converters. Electricity is seen as key to powering innovation and electrification, though challenges around intermittent energy sources and electric vehicles remain. Demand for resources is morphing some into scarce, critical materials that provide investment opportunities but may face supply constraints or nationalism. Graphite and vanadium were highlighted as two critical metals central to industries like automotive, batteries and steel production.
- The rare earth market is highly constrained as China has dramatically cut exports while demand is increasing. This has led to a more than 100% increase in prices this year.
