First Global Map of Rare Earth Deposits
A research team led by the University of Cambridge has successfully developed the first global map predicting the locations of rare earth element deposits. This map is based on identifying igneous rocks rich in carbon dioxide associated with the oldest and thickest parts of the Earth's continents. The study revealed that these elements are exclusively concentrated at the edges of ancient continental cores, especially in regions with thick crust, such as the western edge of the Canadian Shield, the center of Brazil, suture zones in Africa, and parts of Australia and Russia. This map provides precise exploration tools, enhancing the search for new deposits and reducing the costs associated with traditional mining methods.
