Most of the rare earth industry chain downstream separation without food enterprises have ceased

Ganzhou, Jiangxi Province, the three rare earth minerals district discontinued, so that the chain has excess capacity of the separation of business into a new dilemma , had a large area of ​​downtime .

"Under the regulation of the country , many have government-approved mined have been closed, and now only a part of the country some large companies can get legally separated rare earth mine , the other private enterprises are difficult to buy ore . " A very reluctantly Ganzhou Rare Earth Separation business owner told reporters .
Separation of enterprise from discontinued tide

Ganzhou mostly mountainous areas , the relatively slow development of rare earth ore with local specialties such as tea and orange , are the main source of local revenue.

2010 Ganzhou Rare Earth Industry main income of up to 150 billion yuan, accounting for one third of the national industry , which is rare output value of 15 billion , mostly from rare earth separation and smelting industries.

Walking in Ganzhou land to companies looking for rare earth separation is very easy , they can even be a humble little workshop .

Reporters found one of this small workshop like a farm house from the outside only two break Kobo , a little small courtyard inside looked very messy , this rare plant has been closed.

"In Ganzhou Rare Earth most affluent in separation capacity is less than 300 tons of small separate businesses , and these companies are mostly not recognized by the government , if not buy rare earth ore once , they can only another way of living . " Magnets do business Mr. Li told reporters .

Mr. Li said that in the rare earth separation market , accounting for some of the biggest is the separation of rare earth opened privately enterprises, which smaller, isolated , backward technology, once rare earth ore shortage , the impact of these rare earth separation companies are also subject to the maximum . In Ganzhou Rare Earth Separation of these companies are mainly in the mineral -rich rare earth inside eight counties .


Currently, Ganzhou rare earth trade more like a sensitive topic.

This allows already have a large number of vacant capacity of rare earth separation market stalled .

A business engaged in rare earth Liu told reporters , at present , Ganzhou Rare Earth Separation of large and small enterprises have hundreds , but mostly for private enterprises , with a total capacity of about separation of more than 30,000 tons , while the country this year, issued to rare earth ore mining city index was 8,500 tons , a difference is very big .

Demand exceeds supply, in the context of this lack of ore , rare earth separation capacity of vacant businesses increasingly serious phenomenon .

Some small -scale rare earth separation plant because it is the first time the higher price of ore, rare earth oxide prices fell and now larger , according to this production, many companies are at a loss of rare earth separation , so some directly discontinued, started watching the market outlook .

In fact , the government strongly thorough investigation of the situation, the self-employed without permission of rare earth ore mined and can not be sold through normal channels of informal enterprises . Wang Qi said, these privately rare earth ore mined , only to sell small-scale private enterprises rare earth separation , and can not be sold to a government -certified rare earth separating enterprises. Because the private mining rare earth ore out when trading in the underlying bill can not be opened , the formal separation of rare earth companies can not be included in the cost , so do not buy this kind of informal enterprises ore .

In Anxi town , reporters from the accent will be able to hear a lot of foreigners out there , they are wandering to and fro in the town , and some seem to also shop around to find something.

" rare earth mine came to inquire about a lot of people with rare earth miners do not know are the first to find out only through acquaintances they can see mine , if familiar with a few rare earth mining companies , they drove directly to the seller come to buy rare earth mine and foreigners , I've brought the two Americans had had to buy rare earth mine , but two Americans did not want much , just bought a 500 kg . " It does not matter Wang Qi told reporters . ( Zhang Jiguang )
