This old story. Do you know who was biggest miner for these minerals for long time: the USA. The mines get closed, not because they were empty, but because China mined them cheaper. Since then China increased mining of this things - but electronics industry who uses this growed faster. Now China has problems to mine enough for the big demand. But all around the world these minerals are available. But nobody mines them, because China does that cheaper. That's so incredibly stupid.
