Rapid development of the Brook Mine rare earths project and growing demand for secure supply could create a new, high-margin earnings stream poised to outpace coal revenues.
Key Takeaways Exposure to decarbonization policies and technological shifts may erode demand for core products, causing earnings pressure and greater revenue volatility. Heavy reliance on optimistic rare earth forecasts and limited diversification heightens risk of disappointing returns and financial vulnerability.
