Rainbow enters into strategic supply agreement with UK-based Less Common Metals to develop a responsible Western supply chain for rare earth elements

· Rainbow will supply LCM with rare earth elements designated as critical minerals due to their essential role in the green energy transition

· LCM is the only rare earth metal and alloy manufacturing facility in the UK and one of the only facilities in the Western world

· Both Rainbow and LCM are aligned in their values and their ambitions to play a part in the establishment of a Western supply chain for critical rare earth elements

Rainbow Rare Earths is pleased to announce that it has entered into a strategic supply agreement with Less Common Metals Ltd ("LCM") to be a supplier of the magnet separated rare earth oxides neodymium and praseodymium ("NdPr"), dysprosium ("Dy") and terbium ("Tb"). These are the most economically important rare earth elements as they are used to make the permanent magnets essential to decarbonisation, via their use in electric vehicles and wind turbines, as well as to defence and other high-tech products.
