1. Introduction. Rare earth elements (REEs) include the lanthanide series of the periodic table from atomic number of 57 to 71 starting with lanthanum (La) to lutetium (Lu) and including scandium (Sc) and yttrium (Y). They are in short supply internationally with domination by China in production and trade.

How do we extract minerals? | U.S. Geological Survey
The primary methods used to extract minerals from the ground are: Underground mining. Surface (open pit) mining. Placer mining. The location and shape of the deposit, strength of the rock, ore grade, mining costs, and current market price of the commodity are some of the determining factors for selecting which mining method to use.
Description. The rare earths, or rare earth elements (REE), are a relatively abundant group of elements consisting of scandium, yttrium, and the 15 elements of the lanthanide series of the periodic table. Scandium (Sc) is the lightest rare earth element. Scandium is present in crustal rocks in amounts greater than lead and precious metals, but
