■ The Mountain Pass mine, located an hour away
from Las Vegas, is a potential part of the answer to
a reduced supply of rare earth minerals
■ From the 1960s to the 1980s, the United States was
a leader in extracting these minerals, and Mountain
Pass was a big part of that
Despite not being mined since 2015, Mountain Pass
is still the largest source of rare earths in the country
■ MP Materials, based in Las Vegas, is seeking to
reestablish rare earth mining and help reduce
dependency on imported rare earths
