Indonesia’s government has developed a rare earth element reserve plan as part of a plan to develop the rare earth downstream industry. "The ministry has identified eight sites containing rare earth reserves and plans to explore more areas by 2024," said Ridwan Djamaluddin, mining director-general of the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources Ministry.
