Carbonatites are rare, carbonate-rich igneous rocks that serve as the world's primary source for light rare earth elements (REEs) and niobium. A unique type of igneous rock made up of more than 50% primary carbonate minerals like calcite or dolomite, rather than typical silicate minerals. REEs are vital for electric vehicle motors, wind turbines, and electronics. Seller will retain a 3% royalty on mining interests.
