Geological survey, evaluative prospecting and exploration of rare earth ore in Nậm Xe Area have been conducted since 1958. As a result, an area with large resource and reserve potential of rare earth and radioactive metals have been delineated.  However, there are still many issues to be debated regarding the specialized in-depth research on material composition and metallurgical properties of rare earth ores in South Nậm Xe deposit. The results of research by the geologists of the Geological Division for Radioactive and Rare Minerals in the last period have in the first step elucidated the structural, textural characteristics and genesis of the ore in South Nam Xe Deposit. In this paper, the authors provide some new information and judgements on the characteristics of rare earth ore mineralization in South Nậm Xe Area - Lai Châu Province based on the results of exploration from 2010 to present.
