Rare earth minerals or elements might sound exotic, but they're increasingly vital to modern life and global geopolitics. As the United States seeks new sources of these critical materials—including a potential deal with Ukraine that's making headlines—mineral rights owners across America need to understand what this means for their properties.
We cover three main topics:
What rare earth elements are and why they've become so valuable in the modern economy
The geopolitics of rare earths, including the developing U.S.-Ukraine minerals deal and what it means for domestic mining
How mineral rights owners can protect and profit from rare earth deposits on their properties
There are many resources for researching the rare earth mineral potential of your mineral rights and we provide links to many of them in the show notes at mineralrightspodcast.com.
