Reply to comment by Bender-Ender in Chinese scientist develop new method of rare earth mining that is more effective and uses much less toxic chemicals by mutherhrg

It’s salt water that comes naturally out of oil wells and it’s being subsidized by the federal and provincial governments right now. The reason being is that when private companies have tried to start up themselves the Chinese flooded the market making it very difficult for the private sector. I’m not an expert but I did read and heard on the radio about it. They poured the first ingots in Saskatoon Saskatchewan a few weeks ago
