Thank you Mr. Chairman.
Thank you to the witnesses.
Thank you very much for being here today. It is most appreciated.
I understand that about 30% of rare earth deposits are in China. I'm talking just about rare earths and not specifically heavy elements that are a part of those earths. You told us that China will have almost ended its mining in five to eight years because those earths will be depleted. There will be a lack of rare earths. Considering it's 30% now, that doesn't seem like much time. At what point should we be concerned about the future of rare earths?
