Rare earth elements (ree) are becoming increasingly important in electronic devices used in the defense, alternative energy, and communications industries Minable deposits of rees are found in only a few locations. We support the geospatial component of mineral resources program research and provide public access to research results and geospatial information We facilitate all aspects of the data life cycle, including the publication and archiving of geospatial information and products. Rare earth elements (rees), which comprise of only 17 elements from the entire periodic table, play a critical role to our national security, energy independence, environmental future, and economic growth. They include the 15 lanthanide elements plus scandium and yttrium
Despite their name, rees are relatively abundant in the earth’s crust, but rarely found in economically exploitable concentrations They play a critical role in energy. On december 1, 2025, the department of energy (doe) publicly announced its decision to allocate up to $134 million in new funding to enhance domestic supply chains for rare earth elements (rees) Rees are 17 elements identified in the periodic table (lanthanum, cerium, praseodymium, neodymium, promethium, samarium, europium, gadolinium, terbium, dysprosium, holmium, erbium, thulium, ytterbium.
