Добыча редкоземельных металлов в Ботсвана

Botswana does not mine rare earth elements — in 2026 the volume was 0 тонн. The country's subsoil has been explored primarily for diamonds, gold and coal, while rare earth elements remain outside the focus of mining companies. In the Kalahari region and on the Kaapvaal Craton, carbonatite complexes occur that potentially contain lanthanides, but their industrial assessment has not been carried out. In the global ranking, Botswana holds 2-th place out of 197.
