🏭Succeeded in visualization of resource distribution of Minami-Torima rare earth mud and establishment of highly efficient concentrating technique

Point of presentation

To visualize the resource distribution of rare earth mud existing in the exclusive economic zone (EEZ) around Minamitorishima in Japan, to grasp the amount of resources and to have huge rare earth resources equivalent to hundreds of years of world demand We revealed.

We succeeded in establishing a technology to selectively collect rare earth concentrated minerals by particle size separation. With this technology it has become possible to improve the quality up to about 20 times the China Land Rare Earth Deposit.
