The principal source of zirconium and hafnium is zircon though a minor source is baddeleyite mined only in Brazil Zircon is an accessory mineral in igneous metamorphic and sedimentary rocks but rarely occurs in hardrock in minable quantities The principal sources of zircon are therefore alluvial deposits which are mined in many countries of five continents
Rare earth elements REEs are critical mineral commodities for the United States In response to a need for information on potential domestic sources of REEs in mineral deposits the Geological Survey USGS identified broad focus areas throughout the conterminous United States and Alaska as a guide for selecting new geoscience research areas
