Mining and minerals exploration specialist American Lithium Minerals<\/a> shares the latest updates from its Kingman and Hicks Dome rare earth projects.<\/h2>\n

Rare earth elements (REEs) are a set of 17 metallic elements, including 15 lanthanides on the periodic table plus scandium and yttrium. A necessary component in a wide range of applications, REEs are particularly crucial for high-tech applications such as mobile devices, electric vehicles (EVs), and green technologies. With the increasing demand for low-carbon applications, the need for these elements is only growing and, thus, they are an essential component of the energy transition.<\/p>\n

American Lithium Minerals, Inc. (OTC: \u2018AMLM\u2019) is a Nevada-based mineral exploration company. We have five lithium exploration properties, one graphite property and two rare earth element (REE) projects on over 6,000 acres (2,450 hectares) of mining claims and over 800 acres of private mineral rights.<\/p>\n

Due to recent well-publicised supply chain issues, it is important to add more production of rare earth elements in the USA. Our Kingman Rare Earth project is in the vicinity of Kingman, Arizona, only about 100 miles (160 km) from our Las Vegas headquarters. The second REE property, Hicks Dome, is in southeast Illinois, around a 90-minute drive from our Midwest base of operations in Cairo, Illinois.<\/p>\n

What are rare earths?<\/h3>\n

Rare earths have been called the \u2018vitamins\u2019 of high-tech industry, and have the following cutting-edge applications:<\/p>\n
