About
Information details 146 rare-earth mining projects worldwide, serving as a vital resource for understanding new supply developments and global resource tracking. These projects are particularly significant due to their crucial role in supporting various low-carbon technologies. The data provides extensive details on each venture, including the company responsible, geographic location, deposit characteristics, element composition, and current operational status. The raw details were assembled from reputable publicly accessible sources, such as official company annual reports, governmental documents, and academic publications.
Columns
The dataset contains 14 distinct fields tracking project characteristics and their documentation references:
- Company: The name of the organisation owning or operating the project.
- Project: The specific title or name of the rare earth element venture.
- Location: The country or region where the project is situated.
- Status (2022): The current operational phase of the project, documented for the year 2022. Status codes include initial crushing/roughing, mineral concentration, trial production (T), pre-feasibility study (P), or project terminated (PT).
- Capacity: The estimated maximum production capacity of the site.
- Yield: The anticipated yield of final products, such as specific rare earth oxides (e.g., Nd oxide, Tb).
- Upstream: Details pertaining to early-stage processing or product estimates (e.g., Dy t/a).
- Downstream: Details regarding links to later-stage processing and supply chain activities.
- Status Ref.: The source documentation or citation supporting the status information.
- Capacity Ref.: The source documentation or citation supporting the capacity figures.
- Yield Ref.: The source documentation or citation supporting the estimated yield figures.
- Upstream Ref.: The source documentation or citation supporting the upstream details.
- Downstream Ref.: The source documentation or citation supporting the downstream details.
Distribution
The data is structured into 14 columns detailing 146 rare-earth projects globally. It is provided in CSV format, specifically named
factory.csv, and has a file size of approximately 17.25 kB.Usage
This data product is suited for applications such as:
- Academic research related to critical mineral economics and geology.
- Analysing global rare earth element supply chains and potential future resource availability.
- Tracking worldwide strategic project developments that influence green energy and low-carbon technologies.
- Supporting analyses related to resource management and material sourcing.
Coverage
The scope covers 146 rare-earth mining projects located globally, with specific references to locations including Canada and Russia in the underlying data. The time relevance for the project status information is centered on 2022. The dataset focuses exclusively on project-level metrics and technical details rather than demographic information.
