What happened
President Luis Abinader announced plans to commercialize rare earth deposits in the Dominican Republic during a presentation in New York. The President noted that initial evaluations suggest the deposits have favorable mineral characteristics and suitable natural conditions for processing. These exploratory studies are expected to provide a definitive assessment of the country’s reserves by late 2026.
