## Step 1<br />The problem presents a statement about the nature of Rare Earth Elements (REEs). The statement says that REEs are expensive to mine not only because they are rare, but also because they can be found only in tiny amounts.<br />## Step 2<br />The problem then asks us to determine if this statement is true or false. <br />## Step 3<br />To answer this question, we need to understand the properties of REEs. REEs are indeed rare and can be found in very small amounts in the Earth's crust. This makes the mining process more difficult and expensive.<br />## Step 4<br />Therefore, the statement given in the problem is indeed true.
