2019-9-2 Rare Earth Elements in Australian Heavy Mineral Sands Deposits. Rare earths-bearing minerals monazite and xenotime occur in many of Australia’s heavy mineral sand deposits and, up until the mid-1990s, monazite was produced from them and exported, mainly to Europe. A brief overview of these activities is given by Hoatson et.al (2011) 138.
