The European Union requested the establishment of a dispute settlement panel at the World Trade Organization (WTO) concerning China's export restrictions on rare earths, tungsten and molybdenum. This follows EU efforts to find a solution with China, including through formal WTO consultations that were held in April. The EU, together with its partners in the case - the United States and Japan, will therefore proceed to the next step in WTO litigation in order to seek compliance by China with its international obligations.

Indian consumers in tungsten market are cautious in making deals.

Tungsten market keeps inactive now. Local market participants said that consumers are reluctant to accept high prices from China suppliers and demand is weak, so the trading volume is small in the spot market.

An end-user based in India noted that they keep on production under the long-term orders.

April 1-2013, Japanese rare earths imports increased by 19% than the same period last year, 4300 tons. Among them, China’s rare earth production accounted for 63%, 11% higher than that of last year. Outside China, and larger imports of the France and Vietnam to produce rare earths, which are more than rare earths from China procurement processing of rare earth products, so many view actually chinese-made rare earths to Japan imports 80% of the total.

Chinese rare earth proportion is rising, a Japanese company is specialized in rare earth trade argue that because the local producers of saddled with a large number of inventory low-cost sales “. China is both a producer and demand, as a result of production more than demand, expanding exports.

Neodymium magnet) (for Chinese export prices at the end of may for about $77 per kilogram. And dysprosium (used for magnetic) for about $575 per kilogram. Respectively compared to April fell by 4%, compared to high fell more than 80% in July 2011. Neodymium hitting a new low since 2 years and eight months, dysprosium and hit a new low since 2 years and 3 months.

Wolf Minerals, which is planning to re-open the Hemerdon tungsten mine in Devon in South West England, reports that it has received the first tranche of an US$82 million funding package from Australia’s Resource Capital Fund.

The mine was last worked commercially in 1944, but is estimated to have one of the world’s largest tungsten and tin deposits reserves of 401.4 million tonnes grading 0.13% tungsten and 0.02% tin. A mineable ore reserve has also been calculated looking at a base case open pit and a cut off grade of 0.063% tungsten of 26.7 million tonnes of proven and probable ore grading 0.19% tungsten and 0.03% tin.

Wolf Minerals plans to produce around 345,000 metric tonne units of tungsten trioxide in concentrates and 450 tonnes of tin in concentrates annually. Mining could commence by late 2014/early 2015. There are off-take agreements covering 80% of the tungsten output with Austria's Wolfram Bergbau und Hütten (a Sandvik company) and the USA's Global Tungsten & Powders Corp. (a division of Plansee Group).

Japanese tungsten market sees few deals.

Owing to the weak demand and the increasing tungsten products prices in China, most of the Japanese customers are inactive in making deals.

Furthermore, many Japanese tungsten market participants will leave market for summer holiday in August, and they are inactive in adding stocks with watching attitudes.

Australian companies focus on tungsten-tin mine development in Burma.

Three emerging exploration companies listed in ASX, Avenue Resources Company, Intercept Mining Company and Eumeralla Resources Company jointed announced the preliminary exploration of tungsten-tin mines in Burma with potentials.

Ministry of Geologic Exploration and Mineral Development in Burma have indentified 480 tin and tungsten-tin spots with around 400Mt of potential primary ore and impact ore resources. Avenue Resources Company announced on June 11 the merger of Lotus Mining Company by paying twice to purchase the prices up.

Cinderford based start-up Versarien, which develops advanced micro-porous metals for thermal management, has acquired Total Carbide Ltd (a manufacturer of sintered tungsten carbide components, located in Princes Risborough).
Furthermore, Versarien also commenced dealings on the Alternative Investment Market (AIM) of the London Stock Exchange. The company has raised a total of GBP 3.0 million (before expenses) through a placing of 24,489,799 ordinary shares at 12.25p per share.

Immediately following admission, Versarien has 83,076,085 ordinary shares in issue. This gives it a market capitalisation of GBP 10.2 million (at the placing price).

Versarien has used the net proceeds of the AIM floatation to acquire Total Carbide Ltd (a manufacturer of sintered tungsten carbide components, located in Princes Risborough) from Elektron Technology plc for a sum of GBP 2.28 million (GBP 1.58 million in cash and the balance in Versarien shares).

The acquisition of Total Carbide will give Versarien access to manufacturing assets in order to expand production of the VersarienCu thermal interface product (a micro-porous copper).

Commenting on Versarien’s admission to AIM, the company’s CEO Neill Ricketts said: "The board is delighted with the successful admission to AIM today. This listing makes both strategic and commercial sense as we take Versarien to the next stage of its development. We look forward to working with our new shareholders and we would like to thank them all for their support and the confidence they have shown in the future of Versarien.”

“With the funds successfully raised, we can now complete the acquisition of Total Carbide enabling the Group to develop its commercial proposition, product portfolio and manufacturing capabilities. We intend both to build on the current profitable business of Total Carbide and to use its automated facilities to manufacture VersarienCu. This in turn enables Versarien to tap into the large and high-growth market for thermal management, and we look forward to developing innovative products to capture this opportunity using our proven leading edge technology."

According to report of medium, scientists have developed a new kind of revolutionary ultrastrong nanomaterials. It can be utilized for dental braces, implant, cable, solar panel, mobile phone or other devices. Science Magazine has published their research. Those researchers overcome a challenge called as Death Valley that scientists have been frustrated for more than 30 years.

It is without doubt that nanowires are a kind of nanomaterials which thickness is nanometer. Their hardness is higher than current materials by 10 times. Nanowires also have elasticity which makes them adjust different shapes and recover origin shapes at the same time. However, single nanowire is too tiny. It cannot be used for large size materials directly at present. Scientists try their efforts to develop a kind of materials called as loosing materials which have excellent mechanical properties as nanowires. But it is uneasy for them keeping elasticity and hardness of nanowires when they are used for structural use and combine with matrix materials. That is because nanowires have higher hardness and more elasticity than loosing materials.

To solve the problem, researchers have developed a new species of composite materials by using Nb nanowires which have been embedded Ni-Ti shape memory alloy. Shijie Hao in Beijing Petroleum University is the person in charge of program. Professor Yinong Liu of University of Western Australia said, finding a matrix which could be instead of ultrastrong nanowires will be the key. We tried to find all of matrix materials. But it failed. Then we used Ni-Ti shape memory alloy and dramatic changes took place. For 30 years, scientists were always dreaming that using nanowires to strengthen a matrix and then develop an ultrastrong material. While there was always something wrong with nanowires and interface of matrix, because matrix could not share load, and fell of at last.

Ni-Ti shape memory alloy undergoes a process named as martensitic transformation, which can rearrange lattice structure. That is different from those metals which have undergone damage of crystal structure under pressure. Yinong Liu said, being embedded matrix, the new nanowires would be used for manufacturing of cable, cores and ultrastrong construction materials of tubes. Their elastic strain was higher than original wires by 60% and that had never been seen before.
