In 2024, Myanmar's production of rare earths amounted to an estimated 31,000 metric tons of rare-earth oxide equivalent. This production volume made Myanmar the world's fourth-largest producer of rare earths.
The following elements are among rare earths: cerium (Ce), dysprosium (Dy), erbium (Er), europium (Eu), gadolinium (Gd), holmium (Ho), lanthanum (La), lutetium (Lu), neodymium (Nd), praseodymium (Pr), promethium (Pm), samarium (Sm), scandium (Sc), terbium (Tb), thulium (Tm), ytterbium (Yb), and yttrium (Y).
