Three Kinds of rare earth ore supply situation will be adjusted

Rare is the advantage of strategic mineral resources in national defense security and economic development play an irreplaceable role . Global rare earth rich in resources, but the distribution is uneven , mainly in China , Russia , the United States and other countries. China is now the largest producer and exporter , forming a Chinese -led international supply of rare earth pattern.

However, over the years, resulting in a waste of resources disorderly exploitation and environmental pollution, based on this , the Ministry of Industry and Information portions of rare earth mining and production management, and total control of the implementation of mandatory production plan management ; On the export side , the Commerce Department also implemented export quotas, export taxes and other control policy. Meanwhile, the earth as a non-renewable resources, with exhaustible , with the deepening of exploitation , showing growth of its production peak and decline of the life cycle , according to the Generalized Weng model for rare earth production peak and forecast future trends ( "the world rare earth production , trade and supply and demand trends of " Task Force , 2013 ) , China's rare earth production gradually usher in peak production , mixed with fluorocarbon rare Earth production has peaked , the future will show a downward trend in the global supply of rare earth supply will be converted to supply the domestic-based ; ionic rare earth production is expected to peak in 2021 , before this, will continue to supply domestic and foreign .

Mixed rare earth ore and Bastnaesite will mainly supply the domestic rare earth mine

Mixed rare earth minerals including fluorocarbon containing cerium and light rare earth mixed monazite ore . China Inner Mongolia Bayan Obo mine is the largest mixed rare earth ore . Bastnaesite rare earth ore are mainly distributed in Sichuan, Shandong and other places. Since 2001, Shandong stopped Bastnaesite production , recent Bastnaesite production is mainly dependent on Sichuan . As LREE mainly used in batteries , catalysts, magnets and other fields, as automobile production and consumption in Japan , the United States , is the major importer of light rare earths . The amount of mixed rare earth minerals from the 1990s to 2007, showing an overall growth trend, and after 2007 are subject to policy and market impact is gradually decreased .

Bastnaesite volume and mixed mineral ore general trend is similar, but in 2006, countries began to eliminate Luancai rare earth mine in Sichuan Bastnaesite a large consolidation , resulting in 2006 to 2009 there is volatility. Major foreign resources in the country such as the U.S. , Australia and other countries began to restart or start a new rare earth mining projects to meet the development needs of national defense and industrial . The most typical is the United States MountainPass mine . United States in the 1940s to the mid-1980s through the supply of a large number of rare earth ore to MountainPass rest of the world . However, in the 1990s , China's rare earth production increased significantly , and by low prices in the international market for rare earths occupy an important position . American MountainPass Mining in 2002 to stop mining . 2008 , MolycorpInc. Purchased MountainPass, since 2012 since the end of the mine has been producing at full capacity , after 2015 the annual output will reach 40,000 tons . Other light rare earth mining project also includes the United States BearLodge, BokanMountain rare earth ore , Australia MountWeld rare earth ore and so on. These rare earth mining project start will gradually weaken the light rare earths in the international market, China 's leading role in the future of China's light rare earth supply will be mainly used to meet domestic demand. As foreign demand on China to gradually reduce the light rare earths , 2020, hybrid, and fluorocarbon cerium rare earth mine production will drop to 42,000 tons , respectively , and 1.7 million tons.

Ionic rare earth mine in the short term will continue to supply domestic

If ionic heavy rare earth mine , its economic value is the rare earth resources in the highest. The world's largest rare earth mine in China ionic southern Jiangxi and Guangdong, Jiangxi , Hunan and Fujian and other areas , mainly grown in southern Jiangxi Xunwu and dragons . South China ionic species and distribution of rare earth resources in the form are unmatched by other countries , which also led to the foreign supply of heavy rare earth completely dependent on China 's situation. Mainly used in heavy rare earth luminescent materials , magnets , ceramic alloys and other fields. The amount of ionic rare earth minerals in 2000 showed a rapid development trend of the future , although the total amount subject to state control and mandatory production plan management policies, in 2006 and in 2007 reached a peak after showing some decline , but has now known foreign new Kai rare earth mine project , the future of international heavy rare earth supply will still be dependent on the country . New foreign Kai rare earth mine project , only the United States BokanMountain, Russia Tomtor, Australia DubboZirconia production of some heavy rare earth elements such as yttrium , but production are very small . Estimated amount of ionic rare earth minerals will peak in 2021 , the peak output will reach 50,000 tons .
