Recently, Ministry of land and resources issued 2013 annual national first batch of tungsten, antimony, rare earth mining index of total quantity control. Among them, in the rare earth mining index, rare earth ore (rare earth oxide REO) exploitation of total amount control target of 46900 tons, of which, index of ion type rare earth ore 8950 tons, ore type light rare earth ore indexes of 37950 tons.

It is understood, the rare earth index issued in 2012 by the 50% indexes are determined. While mining total control targets this year will be based on the changes of the relevant policies of the state and the market, in 2013 second quarter issued by environmental protection.

Although the implementation of total quantity control of rare earth rare earth mining intended to prevent illegal coal, but this policy in practice is often encountered embarrassment.

Data shows, 2009 national rare earth mining quota of total control of 82300 tons, the index in 2010 increased to 89200 tons, in 2011 the national rare earth mining total control indicators continue to increase 4600 to 93800 tonnes in the previous basis, of which 80400 tons of light rare earth, heavy 13400 tons of rare earth.

But in the actual implementation, not all enterprises to strictly enforce the plan. Public reports, in recent years, some provinces of the actual mining rare earth each year more than plan of the Ministry of land and resources. But the national point of view, from the beginning of 2005, China rare earth for 5 consecutive years of more than 100000 tons, output in 2008 reached 124800 tons, in 2009 reached 120000 tons, the actual output is above the index.

The world of rare earth production 95% concentrated in China, production of rare earth products of high growth in bring economic benefits at the same time, also has brought serious environmental pollution. The reporter was informed that, as the emission standard of rare earth production enterprises, environmental protection department is currently preparing "rare earth smelting industry pollution prevention feasible technical guide" (hereinafter referred to as the guide), and solicit the public opinions.

In recent years, the industry of rare earth smelting in China entered a stage of rapid development, and become the world's biggest producer of rare earths. According to statistics, China's existing rare earth smelting enterprises up to 100, rare earth minerals output from 73000 tons in 2000, increased to 129400 tons in 2009, almost doubled, accounting for about 95% of the world.

However, the yield of rare earth products of high growth in bring economic benefits at the same time, also has brought serious environmental pollution. For example, there are ammonia nitrogen, fluoride wastewater discharge problems of rare earth production process. At the same time, also produce fluorine and oxygen and sulphur emissions. The guidelines for the preparation of said, "with all kinds of rare earth metals and their alloys with annual output of 30000 tons, annual emissions of 1200 tons of rare earth electrolysis flue gas fluoride, some enterprises also have direct emissions or simple processing can not meet the discharge standards issues." In addition, radioactive waste discharge and two pollution problems can not be ignored.
According to this explanation says, rare earth ore always associated radioactive thorium radioactive waste, which, Baotou rare earth ore processing is the most prominent. Baotou area annually produces 50000 tons of radioactive waste, Gansu rare earth company annual production of more than 1 tons of water leaching residue. "Some enterprises in Baotou City, the water leaching residue into permanent radioactive residue library storage, some enterprises will waste water directly discharged into the tailings dam of Baotou Steel, some enterprises take the water leaching slag water into the drainage ditch into the ground and came to the Yellow River. Gansu rare earth company into the water and wastewater discharged into self-contained with leaching residue of tailings dam, some enterprises have any stockpiling radioactive waste, without any protective measures, the surface water and the surrounding environment, resulting in different levels of radioactive contamination." Explanation of compiling wrote.

Environmental Protection Department of the relevant responsible person said, in recent years, China implemented more stringent protective mining policy and ecological and environmental protection standards for rare earth resources and environment, strict industry access. Including, accelerate the formulation and improvement of rare earth mining and production standards, the implementation of strict environmental access system, strictly enforce the "discharge standard of pollutants for" rare earth industry, the rare earth industry environmental risk assessment system.

"The guidelines are currently being developed to make full use of the successful experience of pollution prevention and control management system in developed countries, combined with the actual situation of Chinese rare earth industry, which has a guiding role for China's rare earth smelting industry pollution prevention and control. As long as the strict implementation of guidelines, will ensure that the rare earth production enterprises pollutant discharge standards and clean production standard." The responsible person said.

Rare is the important strategic resources, known as the "industrial vitamin", widely used in new energy, new materials, electronic information, aerospace and other fields. At present, the rare earth production in China occupies the absolute position, perennial accounted for over 90% of the world, but the development of China's rare earth industry is in the domestic trouble and foreign invasion.

Sadie, Financial Research Institute expert He Rongliang Wen pointed out that, for a long time, problems of environmental pollution problems, resource utilization efficiency is low, the lack of core technology related products R & D, restricts the sustainable development of rare earth industry in china.

To solve the bottleneck problems faced in the development of China's rare earth industry, put forward four suggestions he Rong Liang: first, adjust the export of rare earth policies, establishment of environmental management system. One is to establish the system of enterprise environmental certification standards. The EU "green barriers" policy of our country's enterprises have run into a wall, the enterprise of rare earth production in China, to establish environmental remediation, mining, production and other aspects of environmental control system. Two is the establishment of rare earth export enterprises in key environmental protection monitoring system and security system.

Second, a rare earth environmental tax, alleviate the pressure of local governance cost. To accelerate the environmental protection tax, suggested sharing by the central and local fixed proportion, and environmental governance responsibility outstanding local government. In addition, allocated by the central government re pollution of the environment management of special funds, according to the area of rare earth mining and smelting scale, pollution control investment demand, governance, progress, fund allocation.

Third, adjust the resource tax, reflect the real value of the rare earth market. Low resources tax to reflect the social costs of rare earth consumption, difficult to achieve resource conservation, suggestions for further adjustment of rare earth resources tax. One is to reform the tax method, from the amount of ad valorem levy to raise enterprise, rare earth mining cost, play a dual role in the protection of resources and environment. The two is to reflect the differential income, improve the resource tax levy in proportion.
Fourth, the implementation of tax rebates and fund support policy, manifests the resources I used the principle. Actively support the technology innovation of Chinese enterprises, to reverse the situation of rare earth technology heteronomy. Strengthen the fiscal and taxation support, establish the tax return and the fund support, incentive policies. One is the tax refund system. Two is the special technological fund support. The three is the key technology to support.

Elk Creek American village is located in southeastern Nebraska only about 100 people, however, with the rapid development of the Canada Company to develop near a rare earth mine plan, rapid population growth will be in the future. Last week at the Vancouver NioCorp development company said, has been as rapid drilling $5500000 for core sample analysis, Elk Creek near the mining area. The ore mainly Nb, but most importantly, there are other rare earth elements. According to World-Herald, the mine's construction cost about $400000000. USA currently required NB all rely on imports, domestic no mines produce niobium. NioCorp CEO Mark Smith said, "if everything goes smoothly, is expected to the feasibility study report at the end of the year will be completed investment."

In the past ten years, niobium demand and prices are more substantial growth. Wear resistance of Nb has high heat resistance, so the pipeline must be nb. However, it also can increase the hardness of the steel, used in aviation, military field, therefore, Nb is USA government as a strategic metal. The use of basic niobium has so far not found alternatives.

The current global 92% NB by Brazil a private enterprise production, while about 95% of global rare earth from China, used in industrial fields of green technology, national defense system and consumer electronic products. At present in the China outside only two mines, one is Australia Reiner's Mount Weld mine, another is molybdenum company in California Mountain Pass. Niocorp expects Elk Creek mine will be put into operation in late 2016, 150-250 available jobs.
