Rare earth prices fall to the level before the surge

Production of hybrid and digital appliances integral rare earth prices, because China has dropped to restrict exports soaring from 2010 to 2011 before levels. Japanese enterprises have recently been working to reduce the use of rare earth as well as the development of alternative materials and new origin. The price decline can be said that the Japanese government and enterprises to develop technologies to reduce the use of resources results, these technologies may be used in place of origin is too restrictive, and other rare metal resources.

As of mid-June this year, China's exports of rare earth prices have been the main category than in May decreased by about 1 percent. Neodymium magnets for high performance dropped about $ 70 per kilogram, while the dysprosium dropped about $ 500 per kilogram, the price was only in July 2011 when the high point of about 1/7.

In the field of rare earth, China accounted for about 90% of world production. Cut export quotas by China and Japan in 2010 collision impact of price spikes. Neodymium and dysprosium prices in 2011 rose to the peak of the original 10 to 20 times.

In Japan, the production of the core components of the hybrid magnet motor is typically used when dysprosium, but accompanied by rare earth prices soaring, do not use the product dysprosium has increased. Total use per car magnet than 2011 years ago, and then decreased by 4 percent. Honda in 2012 developed a hybrid of dysprosium can be 3 percent reduction in the use of technology. This technology will be used in the future listing of new hybrid vehicles to reduce procurement risk.

According to industry projections, in 2013 the total world demand for rare earths is about 100,007 tons. Than the 2012 growth of about 7%, but growth has been slowing. Japan's Showa Denko from mid-June to improve its position in China's Jiangxi Province, rare earth alloy factory operating rate. However, the inquiry from the Chinese magnet manufacturers are not enthusiastic, with its factory in Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region in China's overall operating rate of less than 1 percent.

In addition, to maintain a large inventory of Chinese manufacturers are constantly a sale. Chinese exports to Japan in 2013 from January to May increased 49% over the previous year. The Chinese government is also worried that rare earth prices collapse, as one of the measures of price stability, the government began to strengthen the campaign against illegal mining. Therefore, after entering in July, there are some rare earth prices began to rise.

Head of rare earth mining industry and Information Technology held in mid-May an emergency meeting. Introduced during the year determine trends in overseeing the production systems and random mechanism. The ministry official said, on the issue of repeated indiscriminate local governments in the future to strictly pursue its oversight responsibilities, will also strengthen penalties.

Specific regulations not yet released, but the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology Ministry and the Ministry of Land and Environmental Protection has collaborated in various places on the illegal exploitation of the investigation. June, is considered to be rare in Luancai cause worsening water pollution Xunwu County in Jiangxi Province, the public security departments launched a massive campaign illegal mining report. Number of business-related persons have been arrested on suspicion of illegal operation, illegal enterprises were ordered to stop.

Rare Trading Rules forthcoming

Recently, news that the Baotou Rare Earth Exchange is currently in the construction phase, is expected to be introduced in August this year trading rules. Some analysts said, affected, rare earth stocks are expected to short-term oversold bounce, the proposed greater flexibility may be concerned about the performance of listed companies. Kinwa new materials industry as the leading domestic listed company intends to acquire rare earth mine thick ground for entry into the field of deep processing of rare earth major step.

Baotou Rare Earth Stock Exchange by 10 companies each invested 10 million yuan from the formation. 10 companies, both from Baotou, Gansu and other northern areas of rare earth enterprises, but also from Guangdong, Sichuan, Xiamen and other southern regions of rare earth enterprises, as well as including three central enterprises. Baotou Rare Earth Exchange is currently still in the construction phase, is expected to be held in August this year "Fourth China Baotou Rare Earth Industry Forum" announced progress in the introduction of trading rules. Baotou Rare Earth Exchange to create an enabling independent pricing throughout the rare earth industry to grasp the concept of rare earth formed some good boost.

Kinwa as domestic industries and R & D of new materials and thus leading enterprises, as early as 2007 on the proposed expansion to the upstream resources development strategy. Because if we can grasp the upstream resources, will be the company's research and development of new materials and production of great benefit. March 2013, the company announced to be non-public offering of shares to raise funds for the acquisition of Johnson thick to Rare Earth.

It is noteworthy that thick to Rare Earth subsidiary Xichang Chi can have rare earth ore Johnson mainland slot mining rights. Johnson mainland slot rare earth ore for China's third-largest rare earth mine in Dun reserves of 700,000 or more. Through ten years of development, China has been confirmed as a single large deposit slot Bastnaesite rare earth deposits, mining and beneficiation indicators of good development conditions, the rare earth elements europium, yttrium, the heavy rare earths, compared with the same type of high-grade mines .

Currently, rare earth ore Johnson mainland trough filing of new reserves is ongoing, "Sichuan Province Township DeChangXian continent groove exploration of rare earth ore mining on the 3rd year 2012 Geological Report" has been completed, according to the expert review comments and thick ground The actual mining of rare earth needs, geological team is currently undergoing further geological exploration, so that a comprehensive evaluation of the entire mine is expected to be completed before the end of July geological exploration work. Moreover, the current overhaul of existing production lines, commissioning work has been completed, already has started production conditions. Subject to detailed geological exploration work is completed, the company will start production as soon as possible. The past two years, the mainland trough DeChangXian constantly being proven reserves of rare earth ore reserves increased doubt, worthy of investor expectations.

According to the relevant analysis, the company involved in this case earth, master upstream resources, will be the company's research and development of new materials and production of great benefit. If successful acquisition Kinwa will immediately begin to introduce a listed company management mechanism and experience of production and management processes to regulate, alter thick to Rare original extensive management mode, improve operational efficiency, and gradually expand production capacity, and thus enhance the company's overall business revenue and profitability.

Development of vanadium and titanium earth can not take the old road

Anshan Iron and Steel Group, Panzhihua Iron and Steel Co., Ltd. and Guangzhou Nonferrous Metal Research Institute recently signed a strategic cooperation agreement, both sides will work to Panzhihua vanadium-titanium magnetite ore separation and new materials critical to the core, common technology research and industrial applications, joint training, gathered vanadium and titanium resources comprehensive utilization of R & D personnel, comprehensive utilization of Panzhihua vanadium and titanium resources to provide scientific and technological support.

Vanadium, titanium is extremely versatile metals. Vanadium is mainly used to improve the performance of steel alloy after processing is used for high-end aerospace titanium aerospace, military and other fields. With the rapid development of new energy sources and improve the performance requirements of steel, very broad prospects for the use of the two materials. However, since the 1960s, since the presence of vanadium and titanium industry on the extensive mode of development, technological bottlenecks, energy conservation pressure, institutional innovation shortage.

Panzhihua vanadium and titanium resources that China has the largest number of iron and steel enterprises in recent years in the development and utilization of Panzhihua Iron and although a lot to explore, made a number of breakthroughs, but utilization is still facing many difficulties.

"Vanadium special metallogenic mechanism and complex mineralogical composition, so that it is difficult to extract vanadium and titanium. Moreover Panxi (Panzhihua, Xichang) of vanadium-titanium magnetite ore are depleted, and foreign bonanza majority, we have no ready-made extraction techniques can be applied, and even can learn very little. "experts believe.

In addition, environmental protection is also constrained vanadium and titanium industry development bottleneck. Vanadium and titanium industry pollution stress, environmental costs are high, the same production line, to consider and do not consider environmental costs, the construction price gap can be up to several times. Environmental costs drove up prices. Some small businesses took the opportunity to drill environmental loopholes, products with low price to win, destroy trade order.

While a variety of enrichment opportunities and resources reserves, while the overheated investment, recycling level is not high and species structure is irrational, vanadium and titanium extensive resources development and industrial development have become increasingly prominent.

Comprehensive development and utilization of vanadium and titanium, must take "open joint, collaborative research," the road of innovation

From the moment Panzhihua Iron and Guangzhou Nonferrous Metal Research Institute signed a strategic cooperation agreement, to March this year, Anshan Iron and Steel Group Corporation signed a strategic cooperation agreement with the Chinese Academy of Sciences, to August last year, the NDRC issued "comprehensive utilization of vanadium and titanium resources and industrial development," second five "Plan" (the "Plan"), a series of actions show that the comprehensive development of our firm, the use of vanadium and titanium resources determination.

"Planning" to define the strict market access, implementation of financing policies to maintain pressure, strict land-use management and encourage the implementation of measures such as tailings waste utilization. With the "planning" escort, Panzhihua City, the further implementation of innovation-driven development strategy, accelerating the development of vanadium and titanium billion industry, building a clean, green "vanadium and titanium are."

"Vanadium and titanium resources is limited, if the long-term exploitation of the blind, who can not guarantee that it will be the next rare earths." Lange Steel Information Research Center analyst Dr. Wang Guoqing, China's rare earth as a big country, resource reserves and supply on the global market volume accounted for 23% of the world and 90%, but the early years of the development of the disorder, the use of low-level, leading to serious waste of resources, environmental pollution increased. And over-reliance on exports of rare resources are properly once sold a "carrot price."

Yao Lin said, comprehensive development and utilization of vanadium and titanium, just rely on the enterprise is difficult to complete, we must adhere to the "open joint, collaborative research," the road of innovation. According to the agreement signed with the Chinese Academy Angang, the two sides will establish a personnel exchange attachment mechanism, timely formation of joint laboratories, research and development center.

From central to local, from leading companies to research institutes, the introduction of a series of policies and measures for gradual implementation, indicating that China is moving in the scientific, rational use of vanadium and titanium resources direction.

Rare earth prices continued lower demand recovery yet

Lately, in the face of rare earth market downturn this year, the grim situation, the domestic rare earth industry is brewing a new round of "cut-price", China's largest rare earth production companies have taken the lead from the Baotou Rare Earth July 1 onwards will cut half belongs to rare plant . Last year, the Baotou Rare Earth three times issued "stop price" announcement. Other rare earth companies such as Minmetals, Chinalco and Xiamenwuye to follow its production. In the whole industry, "cut price" a month later, some rare earth appears broad stock market, where prices rose neodymium praseodymium oxide, 20% reached 450,000 yuan per ton. But after a brief rise in rare earth prices will return to the down channel. Ultimately, the 2012 average price of rare earth fell about 40% over the previous year.

In addition, following last year's third quarter gross domestic campaign to crackdown on illegal rare earth supply chain special rectification activities, China's major producing areas for rare earth potential illegal acts to increase the crackdown. Haitong Securities, said the amount of private mining junk in the past two years has been the normal quota of 4 to 5 times. And after the Spring Festival this year, Ganzhou, Guangdong crackdown against the smuggling problem starts, compared to the past economic sanctions, now mostly involved in criminal level, when the industry chain upstream profits reunification, private mining impulse reduced, which is the recent rare earth prices began to rapidly picked up the core reason.

"Triads" and purchasing and storage significantly interfere with short-term supply and demand in the domestic rare earth industry is conducive to rare earth prices rise, but Minsheng Securities also believes that the current recovery of rare earth industry chain downstream demand is lower than expected, making the rare earth prices rebound fatigue, at the same time, persistence and efforts to combat illegal mining of lower than expected.

For downstream demand, Haitong Securities through research that compared to last year, most of the current downstream operating rate recovered to Qi Cheng levels, mainly due to cars, air conditioners and electronics, the downstream demand in coming months as a whole more stable.

Its short term, South Lido square rare earth companies, medium-term policy efforts still need to observe and effects, if the recent introduction of new remediation activities, rare earth prices are expected to continue to rebound, where the heavy rare earth companies benefit from a larger, long-term trends in the rare earth industry still needs observe the policy coherence and implementation efforts.

Limited production price index rose rare earth permanent magnet materials

In view of the economic slowdown and other factors, demand for rare earth permanent magnet materials market has been shrinking, rare earth permanent magnet materials industry boom also stumbled, and its related product prices continued to fall even more, rare earth permanent magnet stocks continued early Diving mainly stems from this. Among these, the Baotou Rare Earth and other leading varieties is all the way down, and sketched out a clear downward path.

However, rare earth permanent magnet materials industry has been one of China's exports of major commodities, therefore, fall in product prices weakened China's rare earth permanent magnetic materials in the global industrial chain status. To this end, the relevant departments began on the supply side for rare earth permanent magnet materials industry consolidation. On the one hand is the Ministry and other relevant departments will form a large group of rare earth program as one of the priorities in 2013, that is the focus of an existing business enterprise involving rare earth as the main assets as a link, established in accordance with market rules, so as to achieve the relative monopoly industries, thereby Ease of limited production price. The other is the country to crack down on black industry chain industry brought chaos, stability of rare earth industry price.

Affected by this, rare earth permanent magnet material prices have stabilized, the early industrial boom signs of recovery. The securities industry, the economy has always been ahead of the trajectory of the reaction function, so rare earth permanent magnet materials stocks continued to rebound in the last week. Among them, Sheng and resources, such as Rising colored small cap stocks rare earth permanent magnet materials is continuous limit, thereby driving the rare earth permanent magnet materials index rose 6.12 percent last week.

However, for long-term trend, in the supply-side effects of industrial restructuring its hard for long. After all, the real estate boom triggered sustained growth momentum mainly demand side. The current global economic slowdown led to the demand for rare earth permanent magnet materials continued to be sluggish. At the same time, since 2010, rare earth prices rose also makes manufacturers of alternative products related to increased research efforts, alternative products matures, which for rare earth permanent magnet materials industry, it is not a good news. Therefore, we can speculate that this week rare earth permanent magnet materials stocks rose again the space is relatively limited.
