Back in 2010 and 2011, this rare earths ban led to a huge market bubble.

Junior mining companies across the ASX jumped on the rare earths bandwagon as prices went parabolic. Here’s an old chart showcasing just how quickly and steeply things got out of control:

As a result, in the span of about a year, investors saw some huge speculative returns. But as the chart suggests, that euphoria didn’t last all that long.
