• A Detailed Assessment of Global Rare Earth Element Resources: Opportunities and Challenges (2015, background): “…concerns about the future supply of critical metals, driven not only by economics but also by geopolitical considerations, industrial and economic interests, supply monopoly, and prioritization of domestic downstream industries (Hayes-Labruto et al., 2013; Moss et al., 2013a, b; Wübbeke, 2013).”
• Rare earths supply chains: current status, constraints and opportunities (2014, background): “Nevertheless, China has banned mining of pure monazite due to high-level radioactive elements and recently revised emission guidelines for the rare earths industry, setting standards that are in some cases more stringent than industrial nations (Schüler et al., 2011).”
• An overview of rare-earth recovery by ion-exchange leaching from ion-adsorption clays of various origins (2016, background): “Starting in 2005, China – the undisputed leader in both REE mining and trade, started restricting yearly export quotas for HREE, in order to have enough resources for its own industries and to gain control over the global market (Wübbeke, 2013).”
