Who We Are
Advancing Labrador Strong in Global Critical Minerals
A responsible operator committed to sovereign, North American rare earths production at industrial scale.
Our Mission
Delivering a reliable domestic supply of critical minerals
Rare Earths Labrador develops Labrador’s rare earth resources responsibly and efficiently, supplying critical minerals for advanced manufacturing, clean energy, and defence markets across North America and it’s allies, while upholding strong environmental standards, regulatory compliance, and community engagement.
Our Vision
A globally recognized hub for rare earth elements supply
To establish Labrador as a globally recognized hub for rare earth elements production, anchoring a sovereign North American critical minerals supply chain that reduces dependence on foreign-controlled sources and supports the industries driving the low-carbon energy transition.
History & Context
Rare Earths Development in Labrador
Labrador’s geological endowment has been recognized by the mining industry for decades. The region’s Precambrian Shield hosts significant concentrations of both light and heavy rare earth elements, making it one of the most strategically important mineral corridors on North America’s eastern seaboard.
Deposits such as the Foxtrot and Deep Fox resources, located near the community of St. Lewis in southeastern Labrador. The Strange Lake deposit, straddling the Quebec-Labrador border, has emerged as another cornerstone of Canada’s rare earth elements portfolio.

Global Significance
Role in the Global Critical Minerals Sector
Rare earth elements are foundational to the technologies driving the global energy transition and modern defence systems. Canada’s known rare earth reserves and resources total approximately 15.2 million tonnes of rare earth oxides, encompassing both light rare earths such as neodymium and praseodymium, and heavy rare earths such as dysprosium and terbium, which are critically needed for advanced clean-energy applications.
Dysprosium
Enhances magnet performance at high temperatures critical for EVs and defence systems.
Neodymium
Powers permanent magnets in EV motors, wind turbines, and consumer electronics.
Uranium
A critical energy mineral used to generate low-carbon nuclear power for global energy security.
Thorium
A strategic mineral with potential for advanced nuclear energy and next-generation reactor technologies.
Praseodymium
Essential for aircraft alloys and high-performance magnets used in green technology.
Terbium
Used in energy-efficient lighting, green phosphors, and display technologies.
These elements are critical inputs for permanent magnets used across a rapidly expanding range of applications — from electric vehicles and wind turbines to precision electronics and defence systems. A single large wind turbine, for example, requires approximately one tonne of rare earth elements in its drivetrain components.
Clean Energy
REEs power wind turbine generators and energy storage systems, enabling the shift to low-carbon electricity at scale.
Electric Vehicles
Neodymium and dysprosium are essential for the high-performance permanent magnets that drive EV motors efficiently.
Defence & Aerospace
Critical for precision-guided systems, radar, sonar, and jet engine components that demand extreme thermal stability.
Electronics
From smartphones to data storage, REEs enable miniaturized, high-efficiency components in everyday consumer devices.
Rare Earths Labrador operates within this context with a clear understanding of its role: to advance production-ready assets, build the processing infrastructure required to deliver market-ready products, and position Labrador as a credible, long-term supplier to the governments and industries that depend on a stable and transparent critical minerals supply chain.
