Talk:Mountain Pass mine

Molycorp Minerals
There seems to be sufficient hype in the lamestream to justify an article for Molycorp Minerals. Only question is if we'll get a kickback from the IPO. Hcobb (talk) 15:52, 27 September 2010 (UTC)
 * I don't know about that, but I do know that effacing 'fact' templates is a lot harder than putting them in. The 100% quote came from
 * "Jeff Green, a Washington lobbyist for rare earth processors in the United States, Britain, Canada and Australia, said that China and Japan were the only two sources for semi-processed blocks of rare earth magnetic material. If Japan runs out of rare earths from China — and Japanese companies have been stockpiling in the past two years — then the United States will have to buy the blocks directly from China, he said. ‘‘We are going to be 100 percent reliant on the Chinese to make the components for the defense supply chain,’’ Mr. Green said."
 * The statement is now sourced. 67.224.51.189 (talk) 00:53, 10 November 2010 (UTC)

Low quality rare earths
Worthwhile to add a note about this?

"Mountain Pass deposit cannot produce many of the heavy rare earths that are critical to the military. For example, it lacks terbium and dysprosium" https://www.defenseone.com/ideas/2020/08/rare-earths-pentagon-making-same-mistake-twice/167585/

Location
Is this first sentence of the article (as it currently stands, while I am writing this) a joke? It says the mine is located "53 miles (85 km) southwest of Las Vegas, Nevada." But it doesn't mention that this location is in California, not in Nevada. (Actually, San Bernardino County.) Is this supposed to be funny, or what??? I'm changing it. If you disagree, I welcome debate, but this is not a controversial point. HandsomeMrToad (talk) 07:53, 18 February 2022 (UTC)
