Tungsten, tantalum, rare earths emerging as ‘critical’ global metals
Tungsten, tantalum, rare earths emerging as ‘critical’ global metals JOHANNESBURG (miningweekly.com) – Tungsten, tantalum and rare-earth elements (REEs) have started to emerge as “critical” global metals and are expected to become highly scarce from 2015, Core Consultants MD Lara Smith said on Wednesday.

Perhaps this explains why the target date for production is in the 4th quarter of 2014. IMC and Woulfe Mining could be timing this to go into production right before tungsten becomes highly scarce in 2015.
