In this episode, host Peter Strachan discusses the role that rare earths will play in the future of renewable energy applications such as wind power turbines and electric vehicles. We speak to three Australian producers and address the geographic and political impact on supply and demand or rare earths, as well as the current efforts to decentralise the hold of China on the world’s supply chain of rare earths. 

Populating the expert panel for this discussion is Gavin Lockyer, managing director at Arafura Resources (ASX:ARU), Andrew Reid, COO of Hastings Technology Metals (ASX:HAS) and David Crook, technical manager at Mount Ridley Mines (ASX:MRD)
