[SMM Rare Earth Overseas Express] U.S. aviation semiconductor suppliers face rare earth shortage dilemma.

Published: Feb 27, 2026 10:09
Suppliers to US aerospace and semiconductor enterprises are facing an increasingly severe rare earth supply deficit. Some suppliers will suspend orders for certain clients while reducing their operating rates. It is reported that this round of rare earth element shortages primarily involves elements such as yttrium and scandium, and it remains uncertain when supply will recover.

Greenland Grants Exploration License to Greenland Mines for Sarfartoq Rare Earth Project
Greenland Mines announced on the 21st that the Greenland Business and Mineral Resources Authority has directly granted the company the exploration license for the Sarfartoq carbonatite complex. This approval, obtained under the Greenland Mineral Activities Act, satisfies one of the key regulatory closing conditions for the company's acquisition of the Sarfartoq project from Neo Performance Materials for $35 million. As part of the transaction, Neo will receive offtake rights for up to 60% of the ore or concentrates production from the Sarfartoq project. The company said Sarfartoq is "the fastest-advancing and most competitive rare earth project in Greenland," characterized by high grade and favorable logistics conditions.
