Dacha - Rare Metals

The Rare Earths encompass 15 elements known as the Lanthanides in the Periodic Table. Two other elements are also tied in with Rare Earths, Scandium and Yttrium. Rare Earth elements never appear on their own and always in deposits that contain all 15 elements in various percentages. Some of the higher valued elements represent less than 5% of the overall Rare Earth Oxides in most ore deposits and there are few known economic deposits. Dacha has chosen to focus on a very few Rare Earth elements, ones which we believe are mispriced and offer attractive investment opportunity. All of our positions go through an extensive Investment Methodology that helps define what is deemed strategic or critical. Our Focus List consists of the following elements: Neodymium, Gadolinium, Europium, Terbium, Dysprosium, Yttrium, Lutetium, Indium, Gallium, Selenium, Tellurium, Rhenium and Hafnium. Our list is constantly being measured and tested for relevance.
