Don't confuse "rare earths" elements and compounds with "precious" metals. One can say that all precious metals are rare earths but not all rare earths are precious metals. Most rare earths are sold by by the lbs/kilo and all precious metals are sold by the ounce.
China does in fact have most *known* rare earths, other countries notwithstanding. David ________________________________________________ YOU MUST clip all extraneous text when replying to a message.
