Zircophyllite - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zircophyllite
Zircophyllite is a complex mineral, formula (K,Na)3(Mn,Fe)7(Zr,Ti,Nb)2Si8O24(OH,F)7.

Zirkelite - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zirkelite
Zirkelite is an oxide mineral with formula: (Ca,Th,Ce)Zr(Ti,Nb)2O7.

Lanthanite - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lanthanite
Lanthanites are a group of isostructural rare earth element (REE) carbonate minerals. This group comprises the minerals lanthanite-(La), lanthanite-(Ce), and lanthanite-(Nd). This mineral group has the general chemical formula of (REE)2(CO3)3·8(H2O). Lanthanites include La, Ce, and Nd as major elements and often contain subordinate amounts of other REEs including praseodymium (Pr), samarium (Sm), europium (Eu) and dysprosium (Dy). The lanthanite crystal structure consists of layers of 10-fold coordinated REE-oxygen (O) polyhedra and carbonate (CO32−) groups connected by hydrogen bonds to interlayer water molecules, forming a highly hydrated structure.

Hibonite - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hibonite
Hibonite ((Ca,Ce)(Al,Ti,Mg)12O19) is a brownish black mineral with a hardness of 7.5-8.0 and a hexagonal crystal structure. It is rare.

Cerite - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cerite
Cerite is a complex silicate mineral group containing cerium, formula (Ce,La,Ca)9(Mg,Fe+3)(SiO4)6(SiO3OH)(OH)3. The cerium and lanthanum content varies with the Ce rich species (cerite-(Ce)) and the La rich species (cerite-(La)). Analysis of a sample from the Mountain Pass carbonatite gave 35.05% Ce2O3 and 30.04% La2O3

Agardite - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Agardite
Agardite is a mineral group consisting of agardite-(Y), agardite-(Ce), agardite-(Nd), and agardite-(La). They comprise a group of minerals that are hydrous hydrated arsenates of rare earth elements (REE) and copper, with the general chemical formula (REE,Ca)Cu6(AsO4)3(OH)6·3H2O.

Fluorcaphite - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fluorcaphite
Fluorcaphite is a mineral with the chemical formula (Ca,Sr,Ce,Na)5(PO4)3F. It is found in the Kola Peninsula in Russia. Its crystals are hexagonal (dipyramidal class). It is light to bright yellow and leaves a white streak. It is transparent and has a vitreous luster. It is rated 5 on the Mohs Scale. Fluorcaphite is radioactive.

Pyroxene - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pyroxene#Pyroxene_minerals
The pyroxenes (commonly abbreviated to Px) are a group of important rock-forming inosilicate minerals found in many igneous and metamorphic rocks. Pyroxenes are silicon-aluminum oxides with Ca, Na, Fe, Mg, Zn, Mn, Li substituting for Si and Al. The general formula is XY(Si,Al)2O6 (where X represents calcium, sodium, iron+2 and magnesium and more rarely zinc, manganese and lithium and Y represents ions of smaller size, such as chromium, aluminium, iron+3, magnesium, cobalt, manganese, scandium, titanium, vanadium and even iron+2).

Are these ores going to use GT oregen system? There may be issues with generating them because of this. Also do you plan to do ore mixes and what stats to assign to those mixes if you do?

commented

This was already discussed on discord.

They will spawn in GT mix veins.
There will not be issues and I don't know why you think there will be.

They will generate in a different dimension and not the overworld.
Mixes will be ores of similar types, as real life.
