As the country's new energy policies, offer the electric field directly drive the demand for high performance ND-Fe-b. Zhong Ke San Huan said recently, motor company new energy vehicles by using neodymium-Iron-Boron has a small lot orders, as demand increases, the company orders will increase.

Industry sources said, prices will remain stable this year run, which will drive the demand for rare earth enterprises. With the heavy volume of new energy vehicles production, demand for neodymium-Iron-Boron magnets and will usher in a growth expected in the future, industry growth at around 15%. In addition, re purchasing a second round of negotiations have basically reached a consensus, launched in March, there is a high probability.

Zhong Ke San Huan, Senior Vice President Hu Boping, neodymium-Iron-Boron needs to be better this year, the company stocking around 3 months of usage, the company's operating rate is above 80%. Especially high performance ND-Fe-b capacity utilization to above 85%, the basic realization of full capacity. Company optimistic about automotive applications.

Industry analysts say 2013 total about 10,000 or so of new energy vehicles, current orders should be in small quantities, with the heavy volume of new energy vehicles production, demand for neodymium-Iron-Boron magnets or will usher in growth.

Recently, the United States Energy Department (DOE) announced that it would invest $ 3 million funding for research and development for the development of low-temperature geothermal resources as well as support key materials (such as lithium carbonate and rare earth) of domestic supply. Through cooperation with geothermal and mineral sector, DOE plans to expand geographical diversity of clean, renewable geothermal energy, but is not limited to the traditional Western region.

According to reports, the past 10 years, lithium-ion batteries were made use of surge expected by 2017, used in the manufacture of lithium-ion batteries lithium carbonate, global demand will exceed 250,000 tons, compared with 60%. As demand continues to grow, ensuring reliable supplies of key materials in advanced manufacturing is going to be a growing challenge. DOE tried to pass clean mining technology, promote a cost-competitive production of geothermal energy. DOE-funded 10 feasibility studies and applied research and development projects.

"Saying that for years, but no big changes. "

"Are all legally established enterprises, integration of people and what have you? "

Discusses two years to form a large group of rare earths in China finally settled without cause resonates with people in the industry.

On January 8, the Ministry of industry and information technology (referred to as Ministry) conferences held in Beijing the formation of large rare earth enterprise groups. Play, formed by Ministry led the development of the rare earth Group programme has recently been approved by the State Council, the programme will be finalised rare earth group "1+5" pattern, including the baotou steel rare earth founded the Northern Group, two big enterprises Minmetals and Chinalco and Xiamen tungsten Ganzhou rare earth, rising nonferrous metals, rare earth group formed three regional businesses.

Early in 2002, the country has attempting to prepare the establishment of two largest rare-earth group. But because "the Middle East had oil, China had rare earths", China has rare earth resources in the world's most populous nation, for well-known reasons, plus rare earth mining is not very difficult, personal dig mining in the first 10 years of the new century, not only did not receive effective treatment is growing. Consequence is that only about 23% per cent of world reserves of rare earth resources in China, in a "cabbage" supply more than 90% of the world's rare earth market. Also increase rare earth pricing power to become China's most pressing problems.

"Rare earths are not only China, simply because production in China, the price is cheap, people shut down. "The Chinese society of rare earths Secretary-General Xu Guangyao said to the frustration of the global entrepreneur. Around 2005, countries from the abolition of export tax rebates starting list reduced exports of rare earths, and keep the compressed export quotas in an attempt to change the status quo of China sales. But it was Japan and the United States, the European Union strongly resisted. They join forces to the WTO dispute settlement body to prosecute accused China on rare earths "undue restrictions on rare earth exports" issue, violated China's commitments when it joined the WTO.

China's rare earths quotas has caused increases in international prices of rare earths in 2011, but also induced by United States, and Australia again mining the country's rare earth resources. In March 2012, the WTO ruled against 9 from China that the restrictions on the export of raw materials for "violations". International panic subsides, prices peak in 2013 and 2011 fallen 60%.

Face the unfavourable situation of international litigation, as well as internally re problems of overcapacity, management flexibility to consider a more flexible and reasonable policy instead of one size fits all, and encircle the Terminal control, cut from its source to contrary to mining rare earth resources, overfulfilling the power to speed up integration on rare earth becomes urgent. In May 2011, the State Council issued the opinions on promoting the sustained and healthy development of rare earths, propose insisting on total control and optimization of memory, speed up the strategic groups of large enterprises, actively promote technological innovation, the establishment of strategic reserves of rare earth system. The end of 2012, China's largest rare-earth producer at baotou steel rare earth with 12 upstream Enterprise integration restructuring agreement is valid for one year from light rare earths most abundant in China's Inner Mongolia baotou steel rare-earth integration area, formed the Northern path of the rare earth group became clear.

On January 3 this year, baotou steel rare-earth reported, on December 31, 2013, the company's controlling shareholder, baotou steel (Group) company in baotou city, Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region 9 re upstream businesses and shareholders respectively, signed the agreement on the integrated reorganization.

"Currently on the 9 companies for financial management and environmental compliance guidelines and norms. Its subsidiaries of listed companies reached standards, as absolute majority-owned subsidiaries of the baotou steel rare-earth, future eligible companies will inject the baotou steel rare-earth stake. "Baotou steel rare earth Secretary Zhang Rihui said in an interview.

But this has aroused the resentment of other enterprises. "Their shares at no cost to holding our 51%, we're certainly not happy. Plus we are mainly made of metal, raw materials are rare-earth oxides, is not to say that they (the baotou steel rare-earth) can't live. But 9 because their ingredients are coming from baotou steel rare-earth, so it had to be integrated. "Not one of the three companies involved in the consolidation, XI Chun in baotou rare earth limited liability company Zhang guodong, sales manager of the global entrepreneur complains.

More important is that consolidation is itself a complex project. Xu Guangyao said: "the future integration of the baotou steel rare-earth hard nor too small. Because integration is an economic relationship, political relationship is not a simple one. "Like Mongolia, baotou steel rare-earth occupies a larger advantage, integration difficulties are still not small, and more heavy rare earth resources in Jiangxi, Guangxi, Sichuan and other provinces, involving enterprises more and more dispersed, integration is even more difficult. Local government and has been in the layout of rare earths in South Central enterprises, and some local State-owned enterprises and privately-owned rare earth companies, in recent years, almost all sites at staking. Rare earth companies such as Chinalco's rare earth resources, Jiangsu, Guangxi and other places, and has been on the rare-earth integration planning for years, and China Minmetals rare earth (20.20,-0.04,-0.2%) mainly in Jiangxi and Hunan layout, is the one of the largest heavy rare earth separation and processing enterprises in the South, rising nonferrous metals, while Xiamen tungsten industry in Guangdong, Fujian has advantages.

Jiangxi rare earth industry association Rao Yong, Director of the global entrepreneur, especially have medium and heavy rare earths most abundant in Ganzhou, Jiangxi province, due to years of rare earths mining and processing enterprises are mostly small and medium, does not want to completely control to others. Was lucky, by the Government of Ganzhou city, promote the formation of the Ganzhou rare earth mining limited, the miit also identified one of the 6 major rare earth enterprise groups.

According to reports, 6 large rare earth group, will assume in the future integration of rare earth enterprises and the task of optimizing resources in the region, including consolidating scattered smelting separation of enterprises in the region, integrating at the same time comply with policy requirements, capacity reduction and environmental governance. "Competing for not that limits on the pricing of rare earth production and exports. Is important to improve their high added value processing capacity. "Xu Guangyao said. In his view, the countries aimed at limiting the environmental protection and consolidation is understandable, but it must not mean drop in Chinese production and exports will be able to gain more bargaining power, but should step up efforts to foster for rare earth processing enterprises.

That was the case. United States Pentagon said in a report last month, even as global's reliance on Chinese rare earths is still high but is declining. Greenland and Russia are opening and expanding the export of rare earth last year. It is understood that at present China's share of global rare earth production have decreased to 80% from 95% in 2010. "China's policy on rare earths will not cause too much impact on the international market, we can relax the sensitive nerves. "Sternberg recently wrote WSJ columnist says China could learn from foreign experiences, to the market to solve, rather than leading resource allocation by the Executive power.

Recently, the Ministry of chemical industries Division issued on the 2013 the announcements of the economic operation of rare earths. Bulletin said total volume control targets for 2013 national rare earth mining 93800 tons (in terms of rare earth oxide, the same below), 90400 tons smelting separation of product plans. Actual mining 80400 tons for the year, and smelting separation of products produced 83,300 tons, planned 85.7% and 92.1%, respectively, parts of Jiangxi and China Minmetals rare earth mines for environmental adaptation and curb falling prices and reduced production. Total rare earth export quota of 24,000 tons (equivalent to the physical capacity of 31,000 tons). Actual export quotas for the year product of 22,900 tons, an increase of 36.3%, exports amount to $ 603 million.

According to statistics, 2013 the industry revenue 76.9 billion yuan, an increase of 7.9%, with a profit of 7.74 billion yuan, down 28.1%. Profits mainly due to the price decline.

Apart from 2013 El rare earth industry, announcement, and prospects for 2014, rare earth industry, in addition to step up fight against illegal acts, expedite the formation of large rare earth enterprise groups that work to be placed in an important position.

Groups press for rare earth

Early in January 2014, relevant departments of the Ministry of industry and information technology, in conjunction with the formation of large rare earth enterprise groups in Beijing conferences. The Conference call, press market, survival of the fittest rules, currently 6 companies have been formed as the leading industry development pattern. Next, you want to take advantage of, focusing on supporting these 6 companies lead further mergers, the formation of large rare earth enterprise groups.

Ministry stressed that market into full play in the decisive role in the allocation of resources, with enterprises as the mainstay, diversified investment, marketing, promoting mergers and "Let me restructure" to "I want to restructure" changes.

On February 21 the Ministry announcement, expedite the formation of large rare earth enterprise groups were placed in a prominent position. Bulletin, 6 large mergers based on the rare earth enterprise structure and consolidate the country's separation of rare earth mining and smelting enterprises, in the process closing of illegal enterprises, changing the number of enterprises, restructuring enterprises, substantially reduce the amount of separation of rare-earth smelting enterprises to solve excess capacity. Adhere to government guidance, business-led, the principle of diversified investments, market-oriented operation, play a decisive role in the allocation of resources in the market, combination of economic, technological, legal and necessary administrative means to eliminate institutional mechanism barriers, adroitly guiding actions according to facilitate mergers and acquisitions, as soon as possible formation of large rare earth enterprise groups leading industry development pattern.

Now, after several years of consolidation to accelerate, rare earth industry formed the local businesses in the South and Central enterprises-State pattern. Baotou steel rare-earth, rising nonferrous metals, rare earths and Xiamen tungsten industry in Ganzhou and other local enterprises had the resources for a link for group consolidation, while Minmetals and Chinalco through mergers and separation downstream smelting and processing industry, and gradually penetrate to the upstream, "infiltration routes" access to the upper reaches of the right to speak.

Facing the future integration issue of whether there will be competition, insiders pointed out that currently both enterprises and local businesses compete, there is cooperation. But make no mistake about it, the re integration of future southern competition will become increasingly fierce. Some media reported that now all parties are competing for the Sichuan rare earth resources, Sheng and resources of listed companies in Sichuan, Leshan develop rare earth new material limited company, enterprise integration difficult.

Prices are expected to rise

Apart from the reorganization of rare earths, but keep highhanded work to combat illegal activities by the Ministry in the year 2014 re work focuses on location.

Bulletin said, this year will strengthened regulatory, industrial and information Department with police, and homeland, and environmental, and customs, and tax, and Ann prison, sector increased on problem highlight area of verification intensity, on focus cases tone supervising; established light rare earth and in the heavy rare earth combat illegal production regional linkage mechanism, timely communication information, integrated coordination, unified action; through rare earth dedicated invoice data shared, and perfect reported system, means timely found problem and investigated; is implementation dependency regulatory responsibility, urged place strongly investigated illegal violation acts ; Efforts to increase accountability, to individual local governments fail to fulfil regulatory responsibilities, collusion, illegal conduct, such as project approval accountability; strengthening community supervision by public opinion, news media, dissemination of good practices, expose typical cases, six will be emphasized.

But there were people in the industry in an interview with reporters, said the combined last August of multiple sites to treat rare cases illegal rare earth prices go up, if violations crackdown increased again this year, prices are expected to recovery.
