• Life Cycle Impact of Rare Earth Elements (2014, background): “Contrary to a lay persons’ understanding, REs are not rare in natural occurrence (cerium is more abundant than tin and yttrium is more abundant than lead), though REEs have much less tendency to become concentrated in exploitable ore deposits [2], in particular HREEs.”
• RARE EARTH ELEMENTS (2006, background): “These deposits constitute the largest known REE resource in the world (Table 4) and are now the most important REE source in the world (Haxel, Hedrick, and Orris 2002).”
• Rare Earths and the Balance Problem (2015, background): “…trend in the natural abundance of the rare earths is that the elements become scarcer with increasing atomic number Z; as the abundances decrease over the lanthanide series, the heavy rare-earth elements (HREEs) are much less abundant than the light rare-earth elements (LREEs) (Haxel et al. 2002).”
