Historical data, from January to February is the off-season demand for rare earths , there is usually a significant growth qoq volume of rare earth exports from March to May , and therefore there are institutions expected, with the gradual recovery in downstream demand after the Spring Festival , rare earth prices are expected to re- stabilizes. In addition, if the country in the first half of 2014 carried the rare earth reserve, is also expected to partial restoration of rare earth supply and demand relationships on prices boost.

2013 , rare earth prices experienced paragraphs twists and turns, especially in the second half , larger changes . Third quarter 2013 , with the launching of the southern part of the area of rare earth remediation activities and the expected impact of the national reserve , some rare earth products prices have rebounded significantly . But then , in the purchasing and storage of rare earth unfulfilled expectations and background factors in the off-season , the price of rare earth back into the doldrums, basically taking up most of the gains since the third quarter .

Since 2013 , adopt a market- oriented means to replace the existing export quotas , tariffs and other means of administration of the darker color of rare earth resources in order to control the increasing pressure . Experts are expected , the government is likely to accelerate the integration process of the rare earth industry.

January 2014 , the Ministry together with relevant departments in Beijing held a formation of large enterprise groups rare special meeting . The meeting said, according to the law of survival of the fittest market , has been basically formed Baotou Steel Group , China Minmetals , Chinalco , Rising colored , Ganzhou Rare Earth and Xiamen Tungsten and other six companies led industry development pattern. Next , to the flow, focusing on this six companies were led to further promote mergers and acquisitions , formation of large rare earth enterprise groups. This marks the formal pattern of rare earth industry '1 +3' '1 +5' into the current pattern of rare earth industry, the new order is also an important step .

Since December 2013 , emerging market countries may be purchasing and storage for copper, nickel , tungsten concentrates and other metal species expected. Rare especially heavy rare earth , because of its strategic importance and scarcity, are more likely to become the subject of one of the state purchasing and storage .

If in 2014 a quarter of the national reserve plans to gradually implement optimistic judgment, after the Spring Festival is expected upward rare earth prices , price increases in the coming quarter is expected to reach about 15%.

China to build East amazing secret air defense identification zone exposure , exactly why Chinese withstand so much criticism of the country decided to build the East China Sea or air defense identification zone ? Inside this secret is really intricate and Japan are frantic , Japanese Defense Minister Onodera Five Code also on the 26th press conference that the Japanese Self-Defense Forces and U.S. forces in Japan will jointly deal with China to set air defense identification zone .

In the East China designated air defense identification zone , Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe visited the Yasukuni Shrine end of 2013 , China was seen as synonymous with the risk of "rare earth " but did not become a topic. Is the crisis really disappear?

According to Japan on the 25th reported that by mid-September 2010, the Diaoyu Islands waters collision , China played diplomatic card , cut off exports to Japan of rare earths. Since nearly 90 % of the demand dependent on Chinese rare earth supply shortages in Japan immediately , industry into great confusion . Rare earth supply shortage until the summer of 2011 , prices have soared several times.

China and Japan over the Diaoyu Islands dispute could trigger trade friction , especially vital to Japan of rare earth . Chinese Commerce Minister Chen Deming said on this station , no official embargo , corporate behavior are emotional factors , the government does not intervene.

Sino-Japanese trade , in particular the supply of rare earth raw materials , Japan is very dependent on China , more than eighty percent of imports from China . Rare for electronic equipment and automotive industries is essential. However, due to the Diaoyu Islands dispute , Japanese media reported that the Japanese government confirmed that China 's rare earth shipments indeed interrupted. Chinese Commerce Minister Chen Deming said in an interview with Phoenix TV interview, said that such cases are spontaneous emotion -driven enterprise , the embargo is not government intervention.

In the interests of drivers , the United States , Canada, Australia and other countries to develop rare earth set off a craze . Japanese companies are also accelerating the diversification of procurement channels . Sojitz company began in the fall of 2013, imports of rare earths from Australia. Toyota Tsusho Corporation also plans 2014 production of rare earth in India. But the quality is unsatisfactory, the current data analysis showed that China 's rare earth best quality.

Reported that through their own efforts to overcome the crisis in Japan seems to behave more and more powerful. However , Extraordinary Professor Institute of Industrial Science , University of Tokyo Toru Okabe said: " When Japanese companies grabbed the soft underbelly of China sourcing rare condition is still not changed. In particular, including Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and other military enterprises executives have complained about it , let alone consider expanding the scale of production is affected . "

Reported that the misunderstanding lies in the "rare earth " is a general term . Although called "rare earth " Overall, it subdivided it can be divided into light rare earths and heavy rare earths , the former can be extensively mined in the world to which the stock rarely , is a veritable " rare earths " , two add up to a total of 17 kinds of persons . After the collision , the Japanese instead of Chinese from all over the world to find procurement channels mainly light rare-earth . Heavy rare earth rare earth remains the same is known almost entirely dependent on China .

Reported that representatives of heavy rare-earth is " dysprosium ." High-performance magnets mounted on hybrid and electric vehicles , in order to high temperature, it can not be separated , " Di ." By upgrading technology , although you can reduce the amount of vehicle , but with the popularity of electric cars , the total will be difficult to reduce .

Heavy rare earths outside of China in opening up the market , the company plans to Sumitomo imported from Kazakhstan , but has not had the goods. If Chinese exports interrupted for some reason , then, Japan does not ensure a steady supply .

Reported that the light rare-earth there are certain risks. Glass grinding need to use " cerium " because China banned exports after the collision , " cerium " Japan has popularized the alternative polishing method , the usage is also significantly reduced. However, the lighter rare earth mining out of the mixture, about half of the " cerium ." If miners produced according to the most " cerium " sales while reducing production plan, then a mine produced from the same raw materials , high-performance magnet " neodymium " liquidity optical lens materials " La " will be reduced .

Government source said: " As the saying goes , a good pain is forgotten . Dependent on China 's sense of crisis has been weak. Abe would like to take the opportunity to visit the Yasukuni Shrine again sounded the alarm . "

Reported that Japanese high-tech companies, including a strong military industry hopes to balance the needs for rare earths , Sino-Japanese relations must be stabilized as soon as possible .

After waiting for two years in Japan finally signed the Pacific seabed mining of rare earth metals in agreement with the United Nations International Seabed Authority (ISA). According to the Japanese company said rare earth mining company will have the exclusive right for 15 years . To pitch Bird Island is located 600 kilometers south of Japan's exclusive economic zone , an area of ​​approximately 3000 km2 . Vice Minister of Economy , Trade and Industry of Japan Matsushima Green stressed that Japan will strive from one country does not become a rare earth rare earth resources in the country .

Japan has become the reality of great power rare earth mining opportunities. Director of the Center for Japanese Studies Institute of Russian Academy of Sciences Far East Valery Keith Tarnoff believe that this is a gift of fate.

He said: "The rare earth metals are widely used in Japan, the two major areas: the automotive industry and electronics industry . These two areas are actually two pillars of the Japanese economy, they are an important source of export products . If Japan does not have rare earth metals, the whole economy are likely to experience problems. "

It is estimated that the local reserves of about 6.8 million tons of rare earth metals . It can meet the next 230 years the Japanese domestic demand .

Analysis of the samples proved that the deposit rich in cobalt, yttrium, and other metals , it is located deep under water where the deposit itself while only 1-10 meters below the sea bottom . Metal concentration is so high that scientists have not even started to believe the test results. According to Japanese experts say , has now been confirmed that China is 20-30 times the concentration of contained rare earth mine . And that does not contain radioactive thorium rare earth ore impurities , which tend to increase the difficulty of exploitation of rare earth. Understandably, for Japan, radiation safety in mining is one of the important tasks.

In this small island near the South Bird Island is not only found in rare earth ore scientific and economic significance, but also political significance. Rare earth is a strategic resource , the lack of it can not produce many modern electronic products, including military products . In fact, with a monopoly on the global rare earth market China relations increasingly complex background , the Japanese tried to ensure that even the source of domestic enterprises continue to supply rare earth metals . Once the project is successfully implemented, so that Japan can not only ensure that the needs of their rare earth industry, but also to supplant China in the global market .

Inner Mongolia Baotou Rare Earth Wonderful fertilizer plant located in China Baotou, Inner Mongolia Baotou Rare Earth High-Tech Science Park Wonderful rare, the main agricultural pure rare earth, rare earth nitrate, rare earth chloride, citric acid, rare earth, rare treasure aquaculture feed, rare earth foliar and so on.

China started rare earth battle.

Crazy rare earth mining serious soil erosion.

India is the world's fifth largest producer of rare earth about 3.1 million tons of proven reserves accounted for 3% of global reserves, India intends to open rare earth mining companies in Japan but still does not allow foreign companies direct exploitation of rare earth ore. Singh said: "We want to attract Japanese companies to participate (RE) refining and processing to help improve our price competitiveness." India also wants Manmohan Singh visit to Japan to promote bilateral civilian nuclear energy cooperation agreement negotiations.

Concerned about the Chinese Rare Earth, the guardian of our home! In those years, we were proud of the rare earths……

The rare earth industry consolidation speed soon.
