Rare earth elements found in Telangana coal mines, search expands nationwide: Report
N Balram, Chairman and Managing Director of Singareni Collieries Company Limited (SCCL), told CNBC-TV18 that government-backed studies by the Non-ferrous Materials Technology Development Centre (NFTDC) have found 1 kg of Scandium and Strontium in every 15 tons of clay at the Sathupalli and Ramagundam open-cast mines. He added that the supply of these elements from both mines is expected to start in August
While Scandium is used in aircraft components, fuel cells and high-performance sports goods, Strontium has applications in alloys, ferrite ceramic magnets, medicines, vacuum systems, and cathode-ray tubes.
