Could rare earth (REE) strata form as magmatic cumulates?

I'm building a mining colony world with large mine-able deposits of rare earth elements (REEs). One source of REEs on Earth is alkaline carbonitite magma. On Earth, I believe, it is thought to be dissolved from the magma and adsorbed onto clay particles. Over a very long time, could slowly cooling magma form a strata of REEs?
