USGS Estimates of Afghanistan’s Rare Earth Element Resources

“The Khanneshin carbonatite contains a major potential source of light rare earth elements(LREE), such as lanthanum, cerium, and neodymium. The LREE prospects in the Khanneshin carbonatite are comparable in grade to world-class deposits like Mountain Pass, CA, and Bayan Obo in China, both of which primarily contain LREE.” Quoted from the USGS news release.
