As the Twitter poster said in one of his posts:

18,740 pounds of purified rock to produce 2.2 pounds of vanadium
35,275 pounds of ore for 2.2 pounds of cerium
110,230 pounds of rock for 2.2 pounds of gallium
2,645,550 pounds of ore to get 2.2 pounds of lutecium
Also staggering amounts of ore are needed for other metals.

We need vanadium farms. Stop mining and start growing it.

Here is my perky box sample of some Vanadinite, sorry for the crummy potato pic. I will get a better one. "Vanadinite is a secondary lead chlorovanadate." https://www.mindat.org/min-4139.html
