Miglior citazione da Rare Earths Investment: New Playbook for Brazil and Angola Markets
The risk is shifting from 'can we find it?' to 'can we process it at scale?' Rare earths aren't actually that rare—what is rare is the combination of the right geology, the right infrastructure, and the right political timing.

The new investment playbook shifts focus from traditional deep-earth mining to emerging markets like Brazil and Angola. Instead of conventional mines, investors are looking at high-tech magnets produced from phosphogypsum stacks and volcanic clay. This approach targets materials already above ground, such as fertilizer byproducts, to extract essential elements like neodymium and praseodymium while offering significantly faster payback periods than traditional mining projects.
The Uberaba venture in Brazil represents a major shift in rare earth mining investment by processing waste from a fertilizer plant rather than digging new holes. This project focuses on extracting neodymium and praseodymium from industrial byproducts. With a staggering 45% internal rate of return and a payback period of just 1.7 years, it demonstrates a highly efficient risk-return profile that challenges the decade-long profit timelines typical of the mining industry.
Phosphogypsum stacks are essentially fertilizer byproducts that contain valuable rare earth elements. They are becoming a critical part of the new investment playbook because the material is already above ground, which simplifies the extraction of neodymium and praseodymium. By utilizing these stacks and volcanic clay, companies can bypass the messy, deep-earth struggle of traditional mining, leading to more favorable economics for producing the magnets that power modern technology.
