		<description><![CDATA[This post will introduce the investment case for Rare Earth Elements (REE), a very small but exciting natural resource. A separate post will discuss a potential company through which to gain access to the REE story.

REE is a tiny and illiquid industry, with global demand of around 135,000 tonnes a year. It is a group of elements with unpronounceable names like terbium, dysprosium, holmium, cerium, europium, and Ytterbium, to name just a few. See the graphic below for a complete list of REE. REE are not exchange traded and requirements are customer specific. The most significant difference between other natural resources, is not the exploitation but the refinery process. REE must be recovered as a group and sequentially separated. This is a very complex process and it is not always possible to extract all of the metals from existing ore, i.e. the producer must chose which metals to extract.

Global consumption of rare earths last year was estimated at around $1.5 billion to $2 billion in 2008. Demand is forecast to grow by 65 per cent by 2012 from 2008 levels.

Almost simultaneously, there is a growing concern that the world may soon face a shortage of these materials. And where there is shortage, there is clearly a huge investment opportunity waiting to unfold.<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=nzhedge.wordpress.com&amp;blog=14281187&amp;post=71&amp;subd=nzhedge&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>
