Bayan Obo rare earth now Daowa "black hole"

"Bayan Obo mine around a few herdsmen have not moved out yet to achieve security fence currently closed, there are two or three kilometers of the gap, the results of this gap has become criminals steal mine" black hole. "Because mine is too large, patrol staff shortage, criminals often choose to feed at night to steal mine ore. "chatted" black earth "chain, one yuan rare earth enterprises responsible person to reporters describe such a scene.

The dollar company official told reporters that this is just a rare black industry chain tip of the iceberg. Bayan Obo mine in the vicinity, large and small, with dozens of small iron ore distribution field, the actual cover for some are selected iron, is also engaged in illegal election rare earth ore.

In addition, the reporter learned that the city of Baotou, Baotou Steel Group tailings within the Bayan Obo rare earth ore content than high, and tailings and no protective measures, naturally lawless elements "favor." Even more remarkable, because radioactive waste repository Baotou some slag also contains rare earth, even criminals have been eyeing.

Rare Association Secretary-General Ma Rongzhang in an interview with reporters, said the "black earth" case of repeated, country attaches great importance to the recent Ministry of Industry and Information Technology and other eight ministries jointly issued a notice, starting from August 15 to carry out a new round of three- month special activities. But from the previous situation, often against production and sales of "black earth" special activity is over, it began criminals rampant, some of the illegal exploitation of rare earth smelting separation plant also "limelight" after the resurgence. Individual local governments are also thinking of local protectionism, combat is not positive, but also in violation of national industrial policy, rare earth smelting and separation of rare earth projects in excess of authority, or even condone the illegal production and processing of rare earth behavior.

"National Illicit production capacity is close to the sum of legitimate businesses." Ma Rongzhang anxiously told reporters. Reporters learned that, in 2012, the South of heavy rare earth minerals total of 13,400 tons of mandatory plans. But according to statistical analysis of rare earth industry association, the South mine in 2012 to produce at least 3.7 million tons, which can launch the South smelting enterprises ionic mineral separation, 70% of unknown origin.

Ministry Secretary Chen Yanhai raw materials here at the "Fifth China Baotou Rare Earth Industry Forum" admitted the illegal mining of rare earth production is still a serious phenomenon, in 2012 estimated that the country's rare earth ore production has more than 40,000 tons of illegal, illegal smelting and separation of rare earth products have more than 50,000 tons.

Worryingly, the reporter learned that, at present there are some comprehensive waste recycling business to comprehensive recycling in the name of the process by means of its high degree of overlap is actually doing ore smelting and separation. Such regulation is in the "gray zone" of the enterprise so that the original chaotic market "worse," some informal enterprises more difficult.

According to the China Rare Earth Industry Association and other organizations to statistics, the existing 56 rare earth permanent magnet, light and other products integrated waste recycling company, with annual processing capacity of 100,000 tons waste. "Legitimate annual production of rare earths to each year only 10 million tons of waste available for processing is limited, how can I meet their processing needs, what they are in the process? Self-evident." Southern Rare Earth Industry Association, a provincial official said.

"RE illegal mining, illegal production and processing, product smuggling restricting the normal development of China's rare earth industry, a malignant tumor." Rare-Earth Hi-Tech Co., general manager Zhang told reporters that since 2012, rare earth prices continued to slump, with "black earth" flooding the market have a great relationship.

Undoubtedly caused great interest "black earth" rampant main reason. Jiangxi Rare Earth Industry Association, Choi Yuen Fat between meetings of the "Economic Information Daily" reporters admitted that the current price of rare earth ore from 160,000 to 170,000 yuan / ton, plus product processing fees 40000-50000 yuan / ton, compared to products Consolidated sales price from 170,000 to 180,000 yuan / ton, the cost of informal enterprises is already upside down, production and management is unsustainable. But for illegal businesses, illegal mineral products purchase about 10 yuan / ton, with no environmental costs, to 170,000 yuan / ton selling prices can have a considerable profit.

Marong Zhang also told reporters calculations, Take these concentrators around Bayan Obo, they are to choose to choose the name of rare earth ore, Baotou Steel Rare Earth than this informal enterprises pay less 14,000 yuan per tonne of concentrate resources tax. Even without calculating the environmental costs and various taxes, only one resource tax revenue accounted for 50%. In addition, the ionic rare earth ore resource tax in different ways around the tax, such as Ganzhou 36,000 yuan / ton, Guangdong 25,000 yuan / ton, Fujian 06,000 yuan / ton. In Ganzhou, for example, the resource tax plus various taxes and fees, per ton of ore accounted for over 50% of the sales price. Do not need to pay any potential illegal digging of private taxes, you can get it 50% of the difference between the profit margin is huge.

Ma Rongzhang other people think, it should be rare regulations as soon as possible, a clear main responsibility, set up to combat the "black earth" chain of long-term mechanism to regulate rare earth production and management behavior.

Meanwhile, as soon as possible on the rare earth waste recycling project for comprehensive rectification, combining guidance and regional planning, the establishment of regional recycling center, regulate rare earth waste production and business activities.
