Rare Earths

Rare earths are part of the lanthanide series of elements in the periodic table, and most of these have only been discovered in the past 120 years. This includes the heavy rare earths dysprosium (Dy) and terbium (Tb), which play an essential role in supplying a cleaner future.

These elements are key to produce high performance magnets (dysprosium neodymium iron-boron magnets) which are critical components of renewable energy applications. This includes electric vehicles, wind turbines, and broader clean energy technologies. Dysprosium and terbium are valued for properties that enhance the durability of magnets, allowing them to maintain performance at higher operating temperatures and increase resistance to demagnetisation.

As the demand for clean technologies continues to grow, our operations and the sustainable production of rare earth materials will support this need and the transition to a low-carbon future.
