2-#Monazite is a mineral highly rich in #REE, with a particular high concentration of those required to create magnets used in EVs, for example. This picture from Medallion Resources 2017 presentation gives you an idea of the #REEs that can be found. 
3-However #monazite contains thorium (2%-14%) and uranium (0.05%-0.3%) that must be removed before it can be sent to the separation plant. Enter $EFR $UUUU. In the US there is no facility licensed to do this except for White Mesa, not even $MP.
