Are you talking about countries like Malaysia, Madagascar, Myanmar, and Nigeria? The chart shows reserves and production. I don’t know the specific situation in those countries, but I do know that in the rare earths market it’s common for countries with reserves to sell the raw material because they don’t have refining facilities.

That graphic appears to show countries somehow mining rare earths when they have none to mine.

While the island’s strategic location is often cited, another underlying motivation is increasingly tied to its vast mineral potential. In particular, Greenland’s rare earth reserves have become a focal point in a world racing to secure critical resources.

This visualization compares rare earth mine production and reserves across countries, placing Greenland’s untapped resources in a global context.
