What the source says
In rare earth supply chains, this means that planned refining capacity reaches only around two-thirds of expected mine output by 2035, while planned magnet production amounts to just one-third.
Verbatim extraction verified: The figure 66.7% is directly attested in the quoted passage (IEA Global Critical Minerals Outlook 2026 report findings).
The figure above was extracted from this passage. If it does not match, the extraction is wrong and we want to know.
