The Norwegian government aims to develop mining facilities at the Fen complex, Europe's largest rare earth deposit, by 2028. The site contains 15.9 million tons of rare earth oxides, crucial for electric vehicles and renewable energy technologies. Environmental concerns have delayed the project due to the presence of endangered species. Rare Earths Norway plans for underground mining, with surface processing facilities.
