Monazite is a primary source of rare-earth elements (cerium, lanthanum, neodymium) and thorium, used in magnet manufacturing, catalysts, glass polishing compounds and nuclear fuel research. Because it carries naturally occurring radioactive material (NORM), sourcing, handling and export require strict chain-of-custody and radiation-safety protocol — which is built into how Corewaves handles this mineral from field to shipment.
Typical buyers: Rare-earth processors, thorium researchers, magnet and catalyst manufacturers.
