In recent years , China's rare earth industry management regulation has intensified, received remarkable results. But the correspondents learned that rare "black industry chain ," the problems are long-standing rule is not absolute , and often in the special regulation, after the end of combat operations , illegal mining and production, processing , sales and export of rare earth products of the phenomenon and active up , even very rampant.

Some industry insiders pointed out that the recent adoption of the " movement" lack of sustained effectiveness of remedial measures recommended in the future to carry out special operations to combat the same time, as soon as possible to solve imperfect laws and regulations , law enforcement body is unknown, the law enforcement system is not established a series of problems explore the establishment of combating illegal production and sales of long-term mechanism of rare earth behavior in order to achieve tackling the problem.

"black chain" staggering scale

"Every year several tons of black earth hit the market , if this situation continues, China's rare earth resources will be a huge loss , the healthy development of rare earth industry will also aim to naught ! " chatted about the current existence of rare "black chain " , Baotou rare Earth Research Institute since former president MA Peng worried.

Bayan Obo in Inner Mongolia Baotou polymetallic Ore mining area of 48 square kilometers , is the world's most resource-rich light rare earth region. The mine area is also dotted with a number of neighboring mines , some rare earth mine grade is very high. Lured by profits , criminals eyeing here , some to the point of potential illegal small-scale mining of ore , and some even inside the mine ore theft .

In order to prevent criminals , Baotou Steel Group in recent years, the main ore along the boundary of the Bayan Obo , dug 3 meters wide, 2 meters deep trenches, repair played a total length of nearly 70 km , about 2.5 meters high walls , fences . In addition, some sections are still exporting Baotou Steel Group established checkpoints monitoring facilities installed , configured vehicles, personnel , in mines and tailings surrounding areas patrolled day and night , even so, this year, there are still stealing mine incidents.

"In the Baotou City and surrounding areas , some companies simply have no legal separation of rare earth ore smelting production plan targets in the current round of combat illegal production and sales of rare earths special action before the start , but in the production and processing of rare earth, if not the acquisition of the black ore , they can not explain their sources of raw materials . " a person in charge of rare earth companies said angrily .

Dispersion of rare earth resources in Jiangxi and other southern provinces , private dug rare earth mine and processing and sales of illegal mining of rare earth products is the phenomenon despite repeated prohibitions . China Rare Earth Industry Association Marong Zhang said that last year the South ionic rare earth ore mining production was 13,400 tons mandatory plan , but industry associations statistical analysis of the data show that last year the South at least mine produced 37,000 tons , nearly 70 percent of unknown origin .

From a national perspective, the relevant government departments and enterprises responsible agencies estimate that in 2012 the country illegally amount of rare earth minerals estimated more than 40,000 tons , illegal smelting and separation products are more than 50,000 tons .

By contrast, last year China's rare earth mandatory production plans were only production of rare earth minerals business , smelting and separation products 76,000 tons , 82,000 tons .

Zhang and many other rare earth enterprises generally believe that the person in charge , illegal mining, processing and sale of rare earth activities that affect China's rare earth industry healthy development of a malignant tumor , since 2012, rare earth prices continued to slump, "black earth " substantial impact on the market is a big reason.

Many factors combat effectiveness

2011 and 2012 , the Ministry in conjunction with relevant departments to carry twice the rare earth industry order rectification action . The published data show that in the past two years , have been punished behavior of rare earth exploration and exploitation of more than 600 , destroyed 14 illegal mining sites , ordered nearly 90 separation of rare earth mines and smelters rectification. In order to further regulate rare earth production and sales order, this year August 15 to November 15 , the Ministry and other eight departments have jointly implemented a new round of combat illegal production and sale of rare earth special action .

Some industry insiders said the implementation of special rectification activities indeed achieved a great deal in the short term , but China's rare earth distribution area is very wide, often special events over, criminals began to perk up , some illegal mining, smelting and separation plant are & ldquo ; limelight "after the resurgence .
