Re: [Geology2] Rare earths discovered in Peru



Oh..does that mean I have to Google it? I'm at work..eating the five dollar special at KFC and waiting to go to my next job. I haven't had much time on the computer at home and find myself on the phone reading my email there. I'm a caregiver now..just got thru with one lady who had a stroke and am on to another fella, elderly, maybe take him grocery shopping. I love my job.. But googling rare earth n my cell is problematic. So be a sweetie and explain it to me. :-)

Rare earths discovered in Peru

Cecilia Jamasmie | December 30, 2014
RioSol's general manager Max Cruz.

U.S.-based rare earth explorers RioSol and its Peruvian mining arm Compañia Minera Rio Sol announced Tuesday a significant rare earth element and poly-metallic claim discovery in the South American nation.

Third-party geology and geochemical analysis indicates the 10-kilometer claim is the largest in Peru, but further exploration will be necessary to delineate its size and scale.

According to the firm, the discovery — located approximately 95 km northwest of Cusco— contains both light rare earth elements (LREEs) and heavy rare earth elements and metals (HREEs).

The geology consultants leading the project were Rildo Oscar Rodriguez and a Peruvian rare earth expert, both of Lima. According to Rodriguez, the claim is one of the newest rare earth finds in all of Latin America that contains both light-­‐ and heavy rare earth elements and metals, as well as copper, zinc, aluminum and other base metals.

"It proves that the potential for rare earth elements exists outside of China with significant opportunity for development of new production in a mining-friendly country," he added.

Having a supply source in the Americas for commodities used today and in the future will be important for geographic diversity and commercial competition, said the company in a statement, as China currently accounts for 90% to 95% percent of global rare earth mine production.
