In fact the current competition for rare metals has become more complex because China is actively participating in many earth rare projects. Of course we can’t avoid the fact, California seem a pioneer in earth rare projects.

Rare earths can be found around the globe. Refiners outside of China that you can invest in and in the U S is a rare bird indeed. Only one I can find is a Canadian company with the refinery in Michigan. Toshiba has partnered with them and the U S gov. has givin them a grant.Great Western Minerals Ltd

I have not been able to find any information on US Rare Earths, Inc. Is this a privately held company?

A dark horse in the race for rare earth metals dominance is U.S. Rare Earths, Inc., a U.S. company with vast American reserves that has lobbied fiercely for legislation to recognize the strategic importance of rare earth metals. The new U.S. National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2010, which was signed into law by President Obama, shows that the Federal government has now recognized the value and importance of a domestic supply chain for rare earths. U.S. Rare Earths, Inc. is the only domestic “completely American owned” rare earth mining development venture that fits into that legislation.

The largest problem is that Greenland currently has a ban on Uranium mining. The second problem is the legal battles over who owns the Joint Venture. The third issue is the company’s links with some “colorful” characters. And the fourth issue is the Company’s lack of disclosure on who are its key shareholders.I look forward to the company resolving these issues
