Canada’s only rare earth mining company has paused construction at its Saskatoon processing facility due to financial challenges. The company, Vital Metals, operates the Nechalacho mine in the Northwest Territories, which started production in June as the first rare earths mine in Canada. The pause raises questions about the project's future involving an Indigenous business partnership.

Tech supporting the #energytransition depends on it (batteries, engines, wind turbines) and all kinds of electronic goods (ict, medical & military equipment): #rareearths and other critical materials (silicium, neodymium, kobalt etc). These materials are built in in our technological societies. Imagine what happens if these critical materials are no longer supplied. https://asia.nikkei.com/Spotlight/Supply-Chain/China-weighs-export-ban-for-rare-earth-magnet-tech

I grew up mostly in Nebraska. It was a surprise to see a two-page article in the _New York Times_, starting on the front page.
