Apatite / Allenite / Cheralite Rare Element Resources ……… Bastnesite / Synchysite / Monazite Quest Rare Minerals ……. Pagmatite / Aplite Bastnasite, Monazite and Xenotime (and Ionic Clays – China) are the only minerals that have been mined commercially to produce REEs The chemical composition of these 3 minerals is far simpler than most others, allowing for a simpler process to be designed and mplemented. This has a direct bearing on recoveries as does the liberation size which if too fine, is not amenable to yielding high concentration grades. Jon it’s good to see that exotic mineralogy and high capital expenditures proposed by both Arafura and Quest, have not dampened your enthusiam. Jon I have a question for you …. how do you think Arafura will raise the money required to complete their bankable feasibility study, and has it ever occured to you that if a company cannot raise the capital merely for the bankable feasibility study, then what are the likely chances of raising capital expendiure for project development? - See more at: http://investorintel.com/rare-earth-intel/...-evolves/#comment-350595
