Author’s note: Four years ago the future looked brilliant for Molycorp, the owner-operator of Mountain Pass, the United States’ only rare-earth mine. Rare-earth prices were sky-high thanks to Chinese market manipulation; in Washington, politicians were backing domestic production to the hilt; and investors were bullish. Measured by its stock price, Molycorp was a $6 billion company. As of this writing, on June 15, Molycorp was worth $101 million. Its shares have fallen from a high of nearly $80 to just 36 cents. The company is $1.7 billion in debt, unable to make payments, and likely to declare bankruptcy at its annual shareholders meeting June 25 in Toronto. If Vegas were giving odds, I’d be willing to bet that soon the U.S. will not have a single rare-earth mine in operation..
