I thank the witnesses. That was very interesting. There is a great deal of information, which is great to be able to look back on.

I have one final question, which the witnesses may not wish or be able to answer. Is there a move away from rare minerals? While Mr. Blount said he did not wish to down the route about talking about particular technologies, he mentioned iron there, which is not rare. One of the concerns has always been about the rare minerals. Mr. Kennedy mentioned Great Britain ruling out certain technologies. Is there any relationship in that regard? Is that something which is happening in the industry?
