Japan is speeding up a decade-old plan to extract rare earths from the deep seabed, driven by efforts to reduce reliance on Chinese supplies. A state-owned vessel is set to return to port this month after installing equipment in Japanese waters near a coral atoll 2,000 kilometers from Tokyo, with tests to pull metal-bearing mud potentially starting as early as February 2027. The initiative underscores the country's focus on economic security.
The European Union and South Africa have signed an agreement for cooperation in mining and processing minerals and metals. EU Commission President Ursula von der Leyen highlighted the need for these raw materials to advance the energy transition. The deal seeks to reduce Europe's reliance on China.
