The Race for Rare Earths Goes Six Kilometers Underwater (opens the original)

Their March 2026 cooperation agreement focuses on deep-sea mineral research and extraction, including potential work near Japan’s remote Minamitorishima island—where rare-earth-bearing sediment lies roughly 6,000 meters below the surface of the Pacific Ocean.
