Dudley J. Kingsnorth, Executive Director of Industrial Minerals Company of Australia Pty Ltd., provides an interesting overview of the rare earths market. The report was completed in March 2010.
In June 2010, the European Commission (EC) published a report which identified 14 raw mineral materials as critical to European industry. In this paper they explore te supply risks facing producers and consumers of these technology minerals, and assess the European mining and metals sector's ability to respond to the supply chain challenge.
Secutor Capital Management Corporation Update on Commerce Resources Corp. (Fe...Rare Earths / Rare Metals
Secutor Capital Management Corporation update on Commerce Resources Corp. On February 11, Commerce announced the start-up of the mineral processing
mini pilot plant for Ashram. During 2014, Commerce completed bench scale testing of the deposit and confirmed a mineral processing flowsheet that included a grinding circuit, a flotation circuit, a weak hydrochloric acid (HCl) leach to remove carbonate, and Wet High Intensity Magnetic Separation (WHIMS) to remove fluorite. The resultant mineral concentrate assayed 43.6% total rare earth oxide (TREO) with recoveries of 70.7%. A mini pilot plant is the next step to substantiate the Company’s flowsheet and the viability of its rare earth concentrate products. Commerce estimates that $1.2 million will be
required to complete downstream metallurgical work at Ashram, including the operation of the hydrometallurgical pilot plant portion...
The rare earth elements (REE) are fifteen elements with atomic numbers 57 through 71, from lanthanum to lutetium (“lanthanides”), plus yttrium (39), which is chemically similar to the lanthanide elements and thus typically included with the rare earth elements. Although industrial demand for these elements is relatively small in tonnage terms, they are essential for a diverse and expanding array of high-technology applications.
REE-containing magnets, metal alloys for batteries and light-weight structures, and phosphors are essential for many current and emerging alternative energy technologies, such as electric vehicles, energy-efficient lighting, and wind power. REE are also critical for a number of key defense systems and other advanced materials.....
At the 2010 Prospector's and Developers Association of Canada (PDAC) Conference, David Lentz and Anthony Mariano gave a presentation on ranking and evaluating light to heavy rare earth deposits worldwide. This is that presentation.

Secutor Capital Management Corporation provides an update on rare earth element explorer Commerce Resources Corp. The update was released December 22, 2014.
A broad range of non-fuel metals and minerals are critical to the United States commercial manufacturing base, the US hopes for a transition to a green-energy economy, sustained innovations in the high-tech sector, and advanced weapons systems to allow our military to e!ectively fulfil its mission to protect the homeland and project American power around the globe.
As a result, access to critical and minerals and metals becomes a matter of national security. Given that, one would expect that formulating a coherent national mineral strategy to ensure such access would be a public policy imperative.
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. Congress may encourage DOD to develop a collaborative, long-term, well-thought-out strategy designed to identify any material weaknesses and vulnerabilities associated with rare earths and to protect long-term U.S. national security interests.
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.
A new guide to niobium and tantalum has been published by the British Geological Survey (BGS) on its website. These little-known metals have some unique properties which make them essential ingredients in a wide range of products, from mobile phones to artificial hips. As commodity prices rise and access to some raw materials becomes more difficult, a small group of so-called ‘critical metals’ is causing particular concern. Niobium and tantalum are two of the most widely used metals on this critical list. Because of their unique properties and their essential role in the manufacture of steel and electronic capacitors, they are hard to substitute.
Supply concerns surrounding these metals have been heightened because illegal mining of niobium-tantalum ore (sometimes known as ‘coltan’) has been linked to conflict in some parts of Africa.
The newly-published Niobium-Tantalum Commodity Profile from the BGS provides a concise, authoritative and easy to understand guide to the origins, production and trade of these important metals. Andrew Bloodworth, Head of Minerals and Waste at the BGS said: “Our profile on niobium and tantalum is the latest in a much-respected series from the BGS on critical metals, including rare earths, platinum and tungsten. Its publication is timely as it follows the recent release of the report of the House of Commons Science and Technology Committee inquiry into Strategically Important Metals which calls for more understanding of the role of these metals in our economy”.
On Marhc 22, 2011, at the 2011 TREM (Technology & Rare Earth Metals Center) Conference, Diana Bauer from the US Department of Energy presented this Summary Brief on Critical Metals Strategy.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.
