Billionaire bets on Russian rare earths
By BLOOMBERG in Moscow:

"Billionaire Alexander NESIS made a fortune from gold, silver and banking. His next target: producing rare-earth metals from material discarded as RUSSIA developed an atomic bomb in the 1940s.

NESIS' ICT holding company is in a venture with state-owned ROSTEC to fast-track production of rare earths, using thorium-bearing concentrate kept stockpiled for more than 60 years. - The partners also plan to bid for TOMTOR in the SIBERIAN republic of YAKUTIA, a deposit that has more than 150 million tonnes of ore containing rare earths and is among the largest in the world.

'Once we have the technology and the best deposit, we will have a competitive position in this segment,' NESIS said. The cost of the project could reach about US$1 billion in the next five to six years, helping RUSSIA develop its first production of rare earths, used in items from iPhones to hybrid cars"...

"The lanthanide rare-earth elements, which are listed in the first of the two rows that appear at the bottom of the Periodic Table of the Elements, are divided into light (LREEs) and heavy (HREEs) groups. 'Light' and 'heavy', refer to the elements' atomic weights.

Over the last two years, the division between LREEs and HREEs has been reset to between samarium and europium. Now, there are five natural LREEs (lanthanum to samarium) and nine HREEs (europium to lutetium). Promethium is not included because it does not occur naturally in the earth. Yttrium, which is not a lanthanide, usually is included with the HREEs because it shares properties and occurrences with this group.

HREEs are more rare in nature and hence, in general, more valuable than the light REEs. There has never been an HREE mine, per se, and very few pure HREE prospects are known. Historically, HREEs have always been by-products of LREE, uranium or niobium mines.

The commonly traded HREEs are europium (used for TV & computer screens), terbium (used for TV tubes & computer memories) and dysprosium
(used for high-temperature super-magnets)"...
