Development of a sustainable exploitation scheme for Europe's Rare Earth Ore Deposits (EURARE). European REE market survey - Task 1.1.2

This report builds on numerous secondary data sources, including Eurostat, and uses data provided in the REE-reports by Adamas Intelligence (2016) and Roskill (2016) for reference. The purchase of these reports was financed from within resources allotted to WP1. Importantly, each report follows a different methodology in forecasting and assumptions which is reflected in the chapters of this report that draw on the data from these two reports: Chapter 4 draws on data from Roskill (2016) and Chapter 5 and 7 use Adamas Intelligence (2016) for comparison and reference. This background explains divergences in indications on the total REE market volume, both on the demand and supply side, which are also reflective of the uncertainties pertaining to the information accessible on the REE market.
