A provenance-first factbook tracing rare earths to permanent magnets and graphite to battery anodes.

Why it surfaced

The site connects deposits, mines, processing facilities, manufacturers, federal funding opportunities, policy actions, and national-lab research in one dated, source-linked reference. Its scope is unusually concrete: 48 rare-earth sites and companies, 35 graphite-to-anode facilities, 15 funding opportunities, and more than 1,300 linked lab publications and reports.
