Round Top Deposit has a 130year minelife, hosts 16 of the 17 rare earth elements, plus other highvalue tech minerals and is well located to serve the US internal demand. In excess of 60% of materials at Round Top will be used directly in green or renewable energy technologies. Round Top contains 13 of the 35 minerals deemed critical by the Department of the Interior and contains critical elements required
The chemicals leech out the rare earths, and in the absence of mitigation or remediation, the toxic pits are then abandoned. Compounding the environmental issues associated with rare earth mining, the vast majority of rare earth ores contain radioactive thorium and uranium (Huang et al. 2016, IISD 2018).
