en.Wedoany.com Reported - Lodestar Minerals recently announced significant progress in the mineralogical study of its Virgin Mountain project in Arizona, USA, confirming the presence of high-grade heavy rare earths. The primary mineral is xenotime, which contains a high proportion of elements such as dysprosium, terbium, and lutetium. These elements are relatively limited in domestic U.S. supply and play a critical role in the defense sector.
According to Lodestar Minerals' disclosure, this discovery highlights the strategic significance of the Virgin Mountain project. The company stated that these high-value heavy rare earth elements will help alleviate supply pressures in related U.S. sectors and may bring the company more financial support and partnership opportunities. Lodestar Minerals pointed out that the research results from this project will enhance the United States' self-sufficiency in heavy rare earth resources.
In the global supply of heavy rare earths, China holds a significant share and has implemented certain export management measures. Lodestar Minerals' discovery in Arizona is seen as an important step in strengthening the strategic supply for the United States. The company emphasized that this progress is based on rigorous mineralogical research with reliable data and that future project development will continue to advance.
