China's rare earth reserves dropped to only 23% of the world production capacity is three times the global demand

November 4 , Ganzhou Rare Earth Mining Co., Ltd. integrated rare earth mine ( a ) the project EIA report for the Ministry of Environmental Protection approved . This means discontinued two years Ganzhou Rare Earth Mining is expected to re- mined.

Ganzhou Rare Earth integration behind means that the state following the action before the special system , once again increased the remediation efforts for the rare earth industry .

China 's rare earth reserves have accounted for 71.1% of the world , but in 2012 the State Council Information Office published "China's rare earth conditions and policy," White Paper , China's rare earth reserves accounted for approximately 23% of the world's total reserves .

From 71.1% to 23 %, reflecting not only the domestic rare earth production industry chaos and disorder , also has a rare earth backend chain lacking. How to make rare earth separation and the healthy development of downstream industries , is still a thought-provoking questions .

Management control
In 1998, the Chinese government began to implement rare earth export quota license system, and the inclusion of rare earth materials processing trade ban catalog . In 2006, China implemented the total rare earth mining control and management . In 2008, the state promulgated the "National Mineral Resource Planning ", on the rare earth and other specified minerals of which protective mining implementation planning control to limit exploitation, strict access and utilization .

But a series of policies, still can not stop domestic rare earth production industry confusion. Data show that the annual export and smuggling of rare earth disguised about 20,000 ~ 30,000 tons . According to the Ministry of Industry and the relevant responsible person, foreign customs statistics, in 2011 the amount of rare earth imports from China over the Chinese customs statistics, exports up 1.2 times.

Baotou Rare Earth materials in a responsible person briefed reporters , a large number of undocumented , low-cost rare earth products flooding the market , disrupting normal trading order rare earth market , seriously affecting the survival of informal enterprises , even a threat to the safety of the rare earth industry .

Why is it so rare earth industry mess ? China Rare Earth Industry Association, an unnamed expert to the "China Science News" describes the key lies in the lax management of rare earth mineral development , " for example, why the farmer can easily mined ? Why do some officials are also involved in mining ? Ultimately, whether the relevant departments according to the management of rare earth production is the key . "

China Rare Earth Industry Association Deputy Secretary-General Chen Zhanheng stressed to reporters , the illegal exploitation of rare earth industry for many years , production, exports there has been a chain of black interests .
