Facility
Mountain Pass Mine & Processing, San Bernardino County CA
Only active rare earth mining and separation facility in the Western Hemisphere. Mines bastnäsite ore; separates into NdPr, lanthanum, and cerium oxides. Until US downstream (alloy/magnet) capacity exists, NdPr concentrate is shipped to China for processing — maintaining Chinese control over the complete supply chain even with US mining.
