Commerce Resources at eye level with the only two major REE miners in the western world

2022 is on its way to mark the historic year when some critical REEs (Rare Earth Elements) have slipped into a supply deficit, first and foremost neodymium (Nd) and praseodymium (Pr). Both these highly sought-after metals are needed to produce permanent magnets for electric vehicle motors and wind turbines, to name a few. With demand expected to grow strongly, the NdPr supply deficit will be expanding to dramatic levels, reaching a shortfall in 2030 equal to 3 times the projected NdPr oxide output of the Mountain Pass REE Mine in California. As new large REE mines are needed to have a meaningful impact in reducing the supply deficit, the Ashram REE & Fluorspar Deposit in Quebec should come into mind as it matches up with some decisive characteristics in comparison to the only 2 major REE miners in the western world today: MP Materials Corp. from the United States and Lynas Rare Earths Ltd. with operations from Australia and Malaysia. “O Canada, we stand on guard for thee!“
