Dysprosium

镝Dy

Records coded to Dysprosium, from 2022 Final List of Critical Minerals (24 Feb 2022) to the latest event on 23 Jul 2026. Shared stage codes are not findings.

Record as of . Counts are records of one kind at a time and are never added together.

Some records name the rare-earth group as a whole rather than Dysprosium. They are on the rare-earth dossier and are not repeated here. Open the rare earth elements dossier

Supply chain, stage by stage

Dysprosium's row of the lattice: what the record places at each stage. Counts are records per stage, never money; a record coded to several stages is counted at each, so the stages have no total. The last column holds records that name Dysprosium and record no stage, so the lattice cannot place them.

None

No stage recorded

These name Dysprosium but record no stage, so the lattice cannot place them.

Capital rows

Control clauses

None recorded at: Recycling, Research and development, Cross-cutting.

A designation is a government's recognition of a project under a named scheme. It records standing, not money, and covers only the stages and materials the designation names. A project is the registry record of the site or venture. Shared stage codes are not a finding.

Registry projects with no designation naming Dysprosium

Not placed by stage: a project's own stage list is not a designation, and the lattice places only designations.

Capital and controls

Each capital row is shown at its own amount, in its own currency, exactly as the record states it. Nothing here adds up, splits or converts an amount, so a row that names several materials shows its whole amount and a part sits inside its package without being added again.

Capital rows (8 naming Dysprosium; 6 shown at top level, 2 inside a package)

Public commitments (6)

Committed to a recipient by a government or public enterprise, at the status each row states. A contracted, partially disbursed or disbursed row is binding because an agreement is executed; payment is tracked separately by status. A contracted row need not mean funds are obligated or paid, and a partially disbursed row is not fully paid.

Timeline

One dot for each event, placed at its event date as coded. Capital-row and clause status dates are not plotted: a status with no date has no honest position, and an event date is never used in its place.

Event date (as coded)Gold rule: as of 3 Nov 2026
