Rare earths are a group of 17 minerals crucial for the manufacturing of popular products such as hybrid cars, flat-screen TVs and mobile phones. China has been the primary supplier of rare earths responsible for approximately 90 percent of the world rare earth consumption, while only holding a third of the world's reserves. Companies had increased their focus on bringing new rare earth production online after China's decision last year to cut exports boosted prices and sparked concern among overseas users about access to supplies. A Malaysian court has recently approved the start of Lynas' rare earth refinery in northern Pahang state, which will become the first new rare earth source outside of China in years.
