Praseodymium (Pr)

75,000 tonnes of probable reserves at the Venezuelan REE deposit. Neodymium's inseparable partner in high-power magnetic alloys and an essential component of next-generation electric motors.

The NdPr (didymium) blend is the direct feedstock for the most powerful permanent magnets on Earth. Adding praseodymium improves demagnetization resistance at high temperatures — indispensable for EV motors operating under extreme thermal stress.

Reserve Valuation

At current oxide prices (~$100/kg for Pr₆O₁₁), the 75,000 tonnes of probable praseodymium reserves at the Venezuelan REE deposit represent an estimated in-ground value of $7.5 billion USD. As the NdPr (didymium) market grows with EV adoption, praseodymium value tracks closely with neodymium.

Neodymium's Partner

Praseodymium is rarely traded alone — its value lies in the NdPr blend (didymium), which is the direct feedstock for the most powerful permanent magnets on the planet. Adding praseodymium to neodymium improves demagnetization resistance at high temperatures, making it indispensable for EV motors operating under extreme thermal stress.

🧲
Magnetic Alloys
The NdPr (didymium) blend is the direct input for high-temperature NdFeB magnets used in EV motors and wind generators.
✈️
Aerospace Alloys
Praseodymium in magnesium alloys increases creep resistance — critical for jet engine components.
🟢
Ceramic Pigments
Praseodymium yellow (Pr-ZrSiO₄) is one of the most stable and vibrant ceramic pigments. Cadmium and lead free.
🔧
Special Metallurgy
Additive in steels and castings to improve machinability. Pr-rich mischmetal enhances aluminum alloy properties.
