Interesting.
Rare ore = Rare earths? We have them here i believe. (my old mate Emerald Resources is on the scent)

Some of them are incredibly toxic to mine, and to do even the most basic processing.
One of the biggest rare earth deposits in the western world is in Australia - where it is not allowed to be processed.
The processing facility in Malaysia had almost universal opposition and was stopped at one point. - until bribery fixed that, and some arm twisting by the Pentagon et al out of strategic concerns.
The mining, initial processing and transportation in Australia - and the facility in Malaysia - are all subject to unprecedented environmental controls.

Or is this just an illegal quarry for much desired landfill in Phnom Penh and surrounds?
Whatever... it seems overloaded trucks are finally being bought into line more generally (he says hopefully). Cambodian roads just can't hack it.

NO RETAIL: ALL OR NOTHING (each substance can be sold separately, but buyer must take all of the single substance)

..but true..he got them as exchange for unpaid bills. Its worth MILLIONS when you put together the prices per g of that stuff. But so far no success selling them. Need somebody who is into such businesses that use those rare earths...or a working nomad who has plenty of time to analyze the sector of rare earths and search for its global market/players.
