The United States and Japan are planning the world's deepest undersea mine to extract rare earths and challenge China's dominance in the industry. The mine, to be built near Japan's Minami-Torishima island, targets deep-sea deposits that could meet centuries' worth of industrial demand. The project is technically risky, geopolitically sensitive, and could provoke China. Commercial production is unlikely before 2028.
