China's Bayan Obo rare earth deposit may be far larger than estimated

Chinese scientists believe that the Bayan Obo mine in Inner Mongolia — the world's largest known rare earth deposit — may have significantly greater geological potential than official reserve estimates indicate, according to the South China Morning Post. The finding could have major implications for global supply chains of rare earth elements, which are critical for electronics and defence technology manufacturing.
