MTL Index was a French company dedicated to the sale of strategic metals and rare earths. [1][2] The company developed in Italy, Sweden, Switzerland, Spain and Dubai but seems to be defunct. The last newsletter on the company's website dates from January 2016.[3] The index is composed of companies that are involved in the exploration, development, and production of metals and minerals, including gold, silver, copper, iron ore, and other resources. The index is calculated by the Toronto Stock Exchange (TSX) and is intended to serve as a benchmark for the performance of the metals and mining sector in Canada. The MTL Index has been in existence since the late 1990s and includes some of the largest and most well-known mining companies in Canada, such as Teck Resources, Barrick Gold, and Kinross Gold.

MTL Index offers to anyone wishing to make an investment, to acquire rare earths such as terbium, dysprosium, neodymium. These metals are necessary for any modern and future technology such as smartphones, tablets, televisions, computers, medical scanners, wind turbines, satellites, aircraft engines and instrumentation, banknotes.[11][12][13]

In January 2015 a department dedicated to Wealth Management Firms (CGP) is created. The CGP can offer financial products backed by a real stock of rare earths.[citation needed]
