Ion-Adsorption Clays Simplify Rare Earth Extraction and Boost Heavy REE Value

ion absorption clays are already halfway to mud I wouldn't dunk on Japan just yet. Their sin is that they haven't got it going since 2010. Logistically it might be vaible.

*viable I don't know details though, maybe they're BSing about concentrations. But on priors, REE-rich mud makes sense

@teortaxesTex China has the power to destroy any upstart with business economics, especially with hrees (in situ leaching of ionic clay, and the ionic clays are all in their neighborhood). But maybe with chinas national security hree embargo, there will be some incentive

@teortaxesTex 我是江西人，中国最大的稀土矿、锂矿、铀矿、钨矿就在江西省 我向您证明，先不说加工手段，就单纯这开采手段和江西露天的稀土矿比起来...实在有点不堪入目 以前这里的人都是随便打个洞就能挖的
