Rare Earths Americas (NYSE American: REA) announced Wednesday it is expanding beyond its flagship Shiloh project to establish the Foothills Rare Earths district in Georgia. Collectively, these properties form the Foothills Rare Earths District, which covers an area approximately 17.5 times larger than the original Shiloh target area of over 22,000 acres. The company, which made its debut on the NYSE American in May, is focused on heavy rare earth elements used in permanent magnets and defense applications, says its Shiloh exploration district could fundamentally alter the US rare earth supply.
