Survey of ‘Rare Earth’ Elements Set

A GOVERNMENT agency will be conducting geological survey in mountainous areas within the first quarter of 2013 to identify areas containing deposits of rare earth elements.
  
“We are in the initial phase of identifying areas containing rare earth deposits,” Mines and Geosciences Bureau Director Leo L. Jasareno said in a telephone interview yesterday. “We are not yet concerned with identifying mining tenements, we are just identifying areas with rare earth deposits,” Mr. Jasareno added.

The government has initially allotted P20 million for the project.

The Philippines wants to determine if it has enough rare earth deposits to support commercial production.
