Rare earths and strategic metals
The resources of our earth are limited. The rare earths and strategic metals have become indispensable in our modern world. Without these metals, the manufacture of smartphones, fiber optic networks, electromobility, laser technology, solar technology, modern medical technology, LEDs and many other technologies in use would be impossible.
We have divided the individual metals into the categories Base Metals, Rare Earths, Strategic Metals, Special Strategic Metals and Isotopes. There are many more names of these metals, such as spice metals, technology metals, etc., but we have decided to make the classification as shown on these pages.
