They are back: Rare Earth Market turns around.

2013-5-12-ProEdgeWire In reviewing performance of the resource markets this last week, there is one clear leader: and they are the rare earths and critical minerals sector. Alessandro nailed the Tesla Motors story on Friday titled from ’0′ to Wall Street darling faster than a ‘Model S’. After all this is what we have been saying all along, that renewable energy is the next industrial revolution – and Tesla Motors is gunning their electric engines in anticipation of this market frenzy. Or is this the inevitable turnaround simply a predictable outcome that occurs when one is at the bottom and there is…

ProEdgeWire Assaulted by Hackers: Stans Energy Gets Mugged In a Tough Neighborhood

Byron-King Yesterday ProEdgeWire was attacked, according to our server provider in Chicago. Receiving 1000-2000 visits a minute, the influx causes us to be down for most of the day and it did not escape our team that this occured on the heels of the Malaysian election, which we and many others declared a win for LYNAS and the ROW rare earth supply. Since the Technology Metals Summit, many have asked me about an update on Stans Energy after the exclusive interview we recently did, but when I received Byron King's update, I contacted him and requested a reprint -- which he graciously agreed to for…

#TMS2013 PT1: “rare earth industry cage fighting at its best”

TMSPanel The Technology Metals Summit – Renewable Energy: the next industrial revolution or #TMS2013 as I referred to is over and I am a little worse for wear. Literally shook everyone’s hands and ran to the airport. Yes, I selected London for respite with little care to detail. Overindulged in champagne in a dingy pub, ate German chocolate covered gingerbread, over inflated my toxicity rates with bread containing gluten and ate cheese that was aptly referred to as "Stinky Bishop" at tea time that I will never touch or hope to smell again. So if you are wondering where your thank you notes is,…

#TMS2013: Critical Material Inaction Place us at Crossroads

idea_bulb “You really need a life…” said a friend of mine who text messaged me for a 3rd night in a row last night with “meet us at location X”. My response all week has been the same: “must pass - prepping for #TMS2013”. This said and as we all know, life doesn’t work around the schedules we want; no matter how perfect the intention or commitment may be. This was my thought last night as I received a message from an associate’s family member about their hospitalization and their related concerns about his children. This individual is suffering from depression,…

Vito Nicastri ‘King of Alternative Energy’ not attending the Technology Metals Summit.

Vito Nicastri ‘King of Alternative Energy’ This morning’s news included the Italian police seizing a record €1.3 billion ($1.7 billion) in assets from renewable energy mogul Vito Nicastri. Dubbed the "king of alternative energy" for his involvement specifically in wind farms and photovoltaic cell companies, this 57-year-old clearly will not be attending the Technology Metals Summit April 21-22 in Toronto. After all, the Italians now control his 66 bank accounts and will undoubtedly be identifying the 43 renewable energy companies that all utilize rare earths and critical minerals. So, how does an electrician become a billionaire? For starters, they will be attending the 2nd Annual Technology…

Chinese Message to the Rare Earth Industry Received.

top-secret This morning I received a story from our Shanghai correspondent Hongpo to publish this piece titled: Baotou Steel Rare-Earth Announces 2012 Annual Results Net Profit down 56.58% to 1.51 Billion Yuan. Actually the title had a negative turn at the end, but I have taken the priviledged role as publisher to delete the second half, as this content's conclusions raised more of an eyebrow from me of its authenticity, which I would like to provide a disclaimer for at the forefront before publishing. Over the last year and a bit, I receive emails all the time with "who is this…
