This paper presents the METal ResOurces (METRO) model, a partial equilibrium
model tailored for metal markets. It allows for a disaggregated representation of the
mining sector and endogenous investment in extractive capacities. It can be calibrated
to a large number of metal markets. Rare Earth Elements are the first group of metals
for which the model is implemented. A new dataset on Rare Earth mines is compiled
to calibrate it. First results on key developments of Rare Earth markets are presented.
Extensive sensitivity analyses indicate their robustness.
