Frequently asked questions

Why does Pr trade higher than Nd on some days?

Pr:Nd geochemical co-production ratio is ~1:3 in most bastnasite/monazite deposits. When magnet demand pushes didymium metal price, Pr becomes constrained (less mine output) - creating short spot premiums for Pr6O11 vs Nd2O3. Long-run, Nd is the value driver.
