Jack Lifton issues a Red Flag on Critical Mineral Technology Claims

Direct lithium extraction (DLE), the recovery of magnet rare earths from the mineral, eudialyte, and the manufacturing of rare earth permanent magnets (REPMs) without the need for dysprosium or terbium, are three of the candidates for disruptive technologies that have lately caught the attention of “investors” in the EV and alternate energy technologies “space.” But we must be cautious. Why? Because unless any or all of the three “technologies” can be created to give economical, efficient results for the sources and uses of the necessary critical metals then there is no point to them.

So far, high-coercivity magnets (able to withstand high-temperature operations without losing their magnetic strength) are not being made industrially in mass production without dysprosium, terbium, and gallium (three very scarce metals).
