Phalaborwa dumps contain rare earths worth $4.7bn, says London junior

“We have high value rare elements totalling $123/t in our gypsum stacks and multiply that by 38-million tonnes and that can give you an idea of the value of these stacks,” Rainbow Rare Earths CEO George Bennett has told Flagstaff TV.
