1 Rare earth market and applications Industrial Minerals International Congress Prague,

2 Outline General introduction to rare earth uses and market size Current vs historical rare earth prices From exploration, extraction and processing to industrial use Challenges for the industry: What are the geographies with economic opportunity?

3 The rare earth elements
