Much of today’s high tech, for computer, automobile, communications and military applications, requires ingredients called rare earth minerals.
They are not widely available and China, with an estimated 44 million metric tons of resources, has been the source for some 95% of those components used around the world.
That makes the U.S. dependent on an unfriendly Communist regime for significant advances in its technology.
But that could be changing, as a report in the Daily Mail reveals that a mining company has announced the discovery of “more than 2.34 billion metric tons” in Wyoming.
“American Rare Earths Inc announced that the reserves near Wheatland dramatically surpass the Asian nation’s 44 million metric tons, saying it ‘exceeded our wildest dreams’ after drilling only about 25 percent of the property,” the report said.
