Much of today's high tech, for computer, automobile, communications and military applications, requires ingredients called rare earth minerals.
That could be changing, as a report in the Daily Mail reveals that a mining company has announced the discovery of "More than 2.34 billion metric tons" in Wyoming.
"American Rare Earths Inc announced that the reserves near Wheatland dramatically surpass the Asian nation's 44 million metric tons, saying it 'exceeded our wildest dreams' after drilling only about 25 percent of the property," the report said.
It explained the results come from the company's stake in hundreds of mining claims across 6,320 acres of land in the Halleck Creek Project, in southeastern Wyoming not far from Nebraska and Colorado, as well as mineral leases on another 1,844 acres of the Cowboy State Mine.
Could America overtake China in production of rare earth minerals?
Now, plans are being made for open pit mining, the most common method for mining projects, a process that allows mining of up to 20,000 tons a day.
The report noted that this is not the only positive news about rare earths coming out of Wyoming.
