"Canada and its allies are gaining independence from the rare earth supply chain from China," said David Connelly of Cheetah Resources, which owns the Nechalacho Mine southwest of Yellowknife in the Northwest Territories.

Almost 60 per cent of the world's supply of these vital materials is produced in China and much of the rest is owned by Chinese companies. Until now.The deposit, which holds 15 different rare earth elements, was discovered in 1983. A proposal to develop the mine went before regulators more than a decade ago.

"It's a big X-ray machine on a conveyor belt and it separates the white quartz from the much heavier and denser rare earth ore," Connelly said. By 2025, Nechalacho hopes to be producing 25,000 tonnes of concentrate a year. There's enough ore there for decades to come, Connelly said.At full production, Connelly said the mine is to employ about 150 people in the N.W.T. and another 40 in Saskatoon. Those aren't huge numbers in mining, but Connelly said they will make a big difference to the northern economy because most of the workers will be based there.
