In 2013 the world's top producer of eight rare earths

China 's rare earth production continued to hold the first in the world , but some other countries also began producing rare earths. U.S. Geological Survey , " 2014 Rare Report" shows that a total of eight countries worldwide production of rare earth, rare earth production in these countries respectively in 2013 .

( 1 ) Mineral greater China 2013 China Rare Earth about 100,000 tons (REO), and 2012 is basically the same level of production and export quotas of 93,800 tons and 31,000 tons . March 26 this year , WTO preliminary ruling Chinese exports of rare earth products such as the implementation of tariffs and quotas violations may cause China to abolish the quota system . But China has appealed , the final outcome is still uncertain .

( 2 ) United States United States rare earth minerals in 2013 4,000 tons (REO), more than 800 tons in 2012 , a substantial increase . Meanwhile , the amount of rare earth smelting products for $ 260 million , last year was $ 519 million , have decreased substantially. America is the only one molybdenum producer of rare earth production from the Mountain Pass mine in California .

( 3 ) India 2013 2900 tons of rare earth minerals in India (REO), basic maintenance prior year levels. India's heavy rare earth rare earth ore is separated rare earth elements from the beach sand . Indian Bureau of Mines is expected to increase in the future demand for rare earths , the price will rise.

( 4 ) the amount of rare earth minerals in Russia in 2013 to 2,400 tons in Russia (REO), basic maintenance prior year levels. In the future, Russia may increase the production of rare earth . In order to reduce dependence on Chinese rare earths last year, the country's decision in 2018 to invest $ 1 billion for the rare earth production . The plan is to extract rare earths from monazite . Because of Russia's rare earth stocks almost exhausted , the need to rebuild inventories , but the sharp rise in the price of Chinese rare earth , rare earth and therefore the Russian government plans to expand production .

( 5 ) Australia 2013 Australia 2,000 tons of rare earth minerals (REO), there was a substantial decline in 3200 than 2012 tons. According to Geoscience Australia noted that Australia's rare earth reserves of 165 million tons. The project is located in Western Australia and the Northern Territory and New South Wales .

( 6 ) the amount of mineral in Vietnam Vietnam in 2013 was 220 tons of rare earth (REO), basically flat with last year . In 2012, Japan and Vietnam decided to jointly produce rare earth, and to establish a joint research center in Hanoi to study methods of extraction and processing of rare earths .

( 7 ) Brazil 2013 Brazil 140 tons of rare earth ore output (REO), basic maintenance prior year levels. 2011 CVRD discovered a large rare earth mine in the Amazon its Salobo copper project. With other countries, Brazil also wants to reduce dependence on Chinese rare earth mine .

( 8 ) the amount of rare earth minerals in Malaysia in 2013 to 100 tons in Malaysia , basic maintenance prior year levels. Australian rare earth rare earth processing company in Malaysia , North Carolina company , but its rare earth ore from Australia .
