Benefit from Progress

​

Electric mobility, renewable energy, fast internet with fiber optics – technological progress is advancing by leaps and bounds. Take advantage of it by purchasing strategic metals as tangible assets. Unlike savings accounts or stocks, these are inflation- and crisis-proof.

 

High-Security Duty-Free Storage for Strategic Raw Materials

 

These raw materials are stored with an exceptional security standard. Both industrial companies and private clients make use of this opportunity. The duty-free stored materials are protected by two-meter-thick concrete walls, a steel door weighing several tons, and a sophisticated electronic security system.

Rare Earth Elements

 

The term "rare earths" comes from the history of these metals and the early days of their extraction.

 

In the past, it was assumed that the metals in this group were very rare. However, today we know that some of these raw materials are not rare. For example, cerium is as common as copper or nickel. Rare earths were once only extracted as oxides from specific minerals. The term "earths" is the older term for oxides. There are 17 rare earths, and they always occur together, never alone.

 

Rare earths are divided into light and heavy rare earths. A full 95% of the occurrence of rare earths consists of the four light rare earths. The share for the 13 heavy rare earths—dysprosium, erbium, europium, gadolinium, holmium, lutetium, promethium, samarium, scandium, terbium, thulium, ytterbium, and yttrium—accounts for less than 5%. The occurrence of rare earths is concentrated in China, Brazil, Vietnam, Russia, India, and Australia.

The largest mining operations are located in Bayan Obo in China (about 50% of China's production), Mount Weld in Australia, and Mountain Pass in California. Rare earths are mainly extracted in China, as well as Malaysia and Thailand.
