Rare Earth Metal Mine Production in 2022: 12,000 metric tons

Burma’s mine output of rare earth metals was recorded to be 12,000 metric tons in 2022. The country’s production volumes primarily consist of dysprosium and terbium, with minor outputs of scandium and yttrium. Burma’s production yield indicates its potential to offer diversified supply sources, mitigating the risks associated with the concentration of these critical resources. Moreover, Burma is amongst the largest exporters of rare earth metals worldwide. Its export of REEs reached $803 million in 2021, despite the country’s complex socio-political landscape and developing mining infrastructure.
