That was based on known placer mines. Placer mines have veins of these rare earths which makes extraction simple and inexpensive. However, some countries, India for example, extract their Nd from sand.
I am also aware of a patented extraction method which works similar to uranium enrichment centrifuges that can extract Nd from iron mine tailings. If we need it, we can get more.
