Rare‐Earth Elements in Deep‐Sea Sediments in the South Pacific Gyre: Source Materials and Resource Potentials

Abstract Deep‐sea sediments enriched in rare‐earth elements and yttrium (REY) plus scandium (Sc), termed “REY‐rich mud,” have attracted attention as a possible resource for these critical industrial elements. Examples have been reported from the western North Pacific, central Pacific, low‐latitude S...
