Rarity
Rarity provides an interactive data platform that visualizes global critical mineral and rare earth supply chains, mapping producers across geopolitical categories and showing production volumes and trade flows. The explorer enables users to trace the rarity pathway of materials from production through trade, with line widths representing trade volume for at-a-glance understanding of market structures. The platform helps stakeholders identify supply chain vulnerabilities and assess allied versus adversarial dependencies.

Problem
Organizations dependent on critical minerals and rare earth elements face significant challenges in understanding global supply chain dynamics, including identifying sources, tracking trade flows, and assessing geopolitical dependencies. Supply chain disruptions and resource nationalism can create material risks that are difficult to quantify without comprehensive, accessible data.
Solution
rarity.au provides a data room and interactive explorer that visualizes global critical mineral and rare earth supply chains. The platform maps producers across categories—Australia, allied nations, adversarial nations, and non-aligned countries—and shows production volumes, trade flows, and supply pathways. Users can analyze allied versus adversarial supply dependencies and trace the rarity pathway of materials from production through trade, with line widths representing trade volume for at-a-glance understanding of market structures. The tool enables stakeholders to identify supply chain vulnerabilities, evaluate diversification options, and make informed procurement or policy decisions.
Target Audience
Primary users include corporate supply chain and procurement teams, government trade and defense analysts, and strategic investment professionals who need to assess critical mineral dependencies and geopolitical supply risks.
