China has announced its latest export quotas for rare earth elements, the critical metals that it accounts for over 95% of world supply. Many of these elements are in a supply shortage, and are necessary to make products such as wind turbines, smart phones and hybrid and electric vehicles.
Essential to the U.S. Auto Industry

http://www.ucore.comToday's electric cars and wind turbines rely on a few elements that are mined almost entirely in China. Demand for these materials may soon exceed supply. Will this be China's next great economic advantage?

Western Lithium's flagship Kings Valley project, located in the United States, has a National Instrument 43-101 scoping study and resource estimate for the initial stage of development and, in total hosts a historically estimated 11 million tonnes(1) of lithium carbonate equivalent (LCE). The project has a well developed local infrastructure and Nevada has a long history in the U.S. metals and industrial mineral mining industry.
Hidden underneath an enormous extinct salt lake in Bolivia lies the world's biggest untapped supply of lithium. The country's president Evo Morales has pledged the exploitation of the mineral will be a wholly state-owned venture.
Hudson is focused on the Sarfartoq Carbonatite Project which hosts Rare Earth Elements ("REE"), and specialty metals niobium and tantalum. The project is controlled 100% by Hudson. The company has a 100% interest in 1,300 sq. km. in the Sarfartoq region, near Kangerlussuaq, Greenland. The land package is highly prospective for rare earths, diamonds, specialty and base metals.
Rare earth elements are used in everything from magnets to cell phones. And while the name suggests they are in short supply this is not the case, the problem lies with supply. China, who supplies the world with most of these minerals, is now holding it in reserve and so the world is left wondering where it will be able to find these useful elements. Joining ABN's Samantha Loring in studio to discuss the situation and introduce us to the importance of rare earths is Judith Kinnaird, Professor of Economic Geology at WITS.
Rep. Don Manzullo said the federal government needs to join forces with American manufacturers to end China's monopoly on rare earth minerals and ensure the United States maintains an adequate supply of the minerals needed to manufacture our most advanced products.
