Let's break down the in ground value, as oxides: Dy: 0.57% @ 322 USD Kg = $1322 p/t Tb: 0.35%, @ 1800 USD Kg = $6300 p/t NdPr: 0.37% @ 91K USD t = $337 p/t Nb: 0.5% @ 45K USD t ferroniobium = $225 p/t
obviously a miner won't realise these prices and will sell combined concentrates to refiners at a discount, but it's pretty clear where most of the potential value is.
I personally would have headlined it "dysprosium and terbium rich". Terbi wha? Dispro who now?
