Rich rare earth resources have been found by Indian geologists found in Barmer district of Rajasthan. And the laboratory analysis of source rocks indicate these rare earth metals may have good commercial value. Given the high concentration of rare earth elements, felsite veins Phulan complex and tin Wan annular area ( Barmer district ) next to the area as detailed exploration of rare earth element potential of the region," Geological Survey (GSI) Researchers in India report recommendations. Rare earth elements are a group of chemicals of 17 elements in the form of trace amounts of naturally occurring, they have important industrial applications. In India, commercial rare earth materials is mainly from Kerala monazite sand beach for nuclear applications. Other industry applications rely on imports from China.Actually, 95% of the world's rare earth from China. Since China economy is keeping a high speed developing, Beijing reduce the supply for rare earth exportation in2010, which forcing India to explore new rare earth resources. Barmer district was recognized with a high concentration of resources, in addition to 17 kinds of rare earth elements, there are at least four kinds of important minerals such as zirconium, niobium, silver, thorium and uranium, the research team showed that seven dikes has three rare earth concentration is very high. However, GSI scientists refused to talk about, but we are optimistic about the future of new resources.

Western countries risk running out of supplies of certain highly sought-after rare metals that are vital to a host of green technologies, amid growing evidence that China, which has a monopoly on global production. Failure to secure alternative long-term sources of rare earth elements (REEs) would affect the manufacturing and development of low-carbon technology, which relies on the unique properties of the 17 metals to mass-produce eco-friendly innovations such as wind turbines and low-energy lightbulbs. China, whose mines account for 97 per cent of global supplies, is trying to ensure that all raw REE materials are processed within its borders. During the past seven years it has reduced by 40 per cent the amount of rare earths available for export. Global demand has tripled from 40,000 tonnes to 120,000 tonnes over the past 10 years, during which time China has steadily cut annual exports from 48,500 tonnes to 31,310 tonnes.
