Recently, reporters from the scene just after obtaining a sample of preliminary tests and a comprehensive analysis of the shallow stratigraphic data, the expedition team to complete the expedition in the Indian Ocean mission, it is the return voyage of the ocean voyage fifth leg of the expedition 34 informed, basin for the first time found a large area of ​​rich rare earth deposits.

According to Stone, chief scientist segment describes the study of law, rare earth elements are widely used in industrial production, known as "industrial MSG." Although China is the largest producer of rare earth, but from a global perspective, the land reserves of rare earth is rapidly shrinking, urgent need to find new rare earth resources. Many deep-sea sediments in the higher rare earth content, it also implies that there may be potential for deep seabed areas of rare earth resources. There are already rare deep-sea scientists will be following the polymetallic nodules, cobalt-rich crusts and seafloor hydrothermal sulfide fourth new resources.

It is reported in this segment of the expedition in the Indian Ocean basin range of about 850,000 square kilometers of seabed sampling and synchronous continuous shallow geological strata, multi-beam measurements. Expedition also used shipboard analysis equipment for sediment samples obtained were analyzed field test, a sample of 15 stations detected high REE contents, to the mineralization conditions. According to the expedition and field test data elements combine shallow stratigraphic and multibeam survey data, we concluded that in the Indian Ocean basin draw two rare earth-rich sedimentary area.

This discovery confirms the potential presence of large deposits of rare earth-rich area in the Indian Ocean basin assumptions previously proposed expedition. 2014 Ocean 30 expedition cruises in the Indian Ocean had to obtain a deposition of 1.4 meters long column-like, after laboratory meticulous measurements, the results also show that within the Indian Ocean basin sediments local region is more enriched in rare earth elements, with mineralization potential.

"This is just the preliminary round accurate test measurements, REE contents back to terrestrial laboratories need to be." Stone school law said that after returning to the expedition team in the laboratory sample acquiring systematic precise analysis to determine the rare earth the exact content of the element, Occurrence and mineralogical characteristics, and fine shallow stratigraphic data processing, combine the data to study the area to clarify the distribution of rare earth-rich deposits and enrichment mechanism, provide the basis for the next step of investigation .

Recently, this reporter learned from the Henan Provincial Department of Provincial Nuclear Industry Geological Bureau made a major breakthrough in Xixia County town of Taiping prospecting, preliminary estimates, found that more than 10 million tons of rare earth resources, to achieve the scale of medium-rare earth deposits. This is by far the province first discovered rare earth deposits, fill the gaps in the rare earth minerals prospecting work.

According to reports, the Provincial Nuclear Industry Geological Bureau's commitment to "peaceful town of rare earth mine uranium census" project, is the province of Geological Exploration Fund in 2011 to support the project. Since the project started, the provincial Nuclear Industry Geological Bureau backbone to carry out painstaking exploration. Preliminary investigation, the deposit has three distribution containing rare earth belt, is a light rare earth mine, cerium, lanthanum, neodymium LREE-based. It has been demonstrated that the project area still has a large deep prospecting potential.

The Provincial Department of the experts pointed out Taipingzhen rare earth mine in Henan Province is the first time that the rare earth deposits, which is a breakthrough in Henan Province, the implementation of "358" since the strategic actions prospecting, Henan Province for the promotion of rare, scattered elements and REE resources to complete the prospecting strategic action plan objectives are of great significance.

It is understood that, because of its unique electron shell of rare earth structure and good performance light, electricity, magnetism, catalysis, etc., are widely used in petrochemical, metallurgical machinery, electronic information, energy, environmental protection, national defense and high-tech materials, such as the national economy and modern science The fields, known as "industrial vitamins", is an important strategic mineral resources.

Today, rare earth market has not yet stabilized, the industry businesses that praseodymium, neodymium, dysprosium products prices are still down in the process, it is still difficult to stabilize, and there is no market price. In particular, praseodymium, neodymium, dysprosium oxide, there are now some ultra-low-cost resources further down the overall market.

Praseodymium neodymium products prices generally have been some years has touched its lowest level praseodymium neodymium metal prices are now more focused on the 360,000 yuan / ton, compared to the previous two days the business down in the range 2-5 thousand Yuan / ton, with no votes have This week adjustment to quote basically about three thousand dollars / ton. Two days neodymium oxide, praseodymium offer a whole have declined, quotes from suppliers have dropped 275,000 from 280,000, a lower price even in 270,000 or less.

In addition to praseodymium, neodymium, dysprosium alloy prices fell seriously, before the market trend is relatively stable gadolinium iron, two days too loose, it is currently a supplier Ganzhou offer 90,000 yuan with votes gadolinium iron / ton, compared with $ 2,000 weekly decline / ton. Neodymium oxide in oxidizing prices have signs down, businesses are currently quoted at 285,000 yuan / ton, a few days ago offer concentrated in 290,000 yuan / ton.

Dysprosium now quoted higher at 158-160 yuan / ton, there are businesses that can even accept the 1.45 million yuan less shipping, but despite repeated price has declined, and drop very low, not much actual transactions.

According to several media reports in Afghanistan, the US scientific research report shows that A has copper reserves of 60 million tons, 2.2 billion tons of iron ore, 1.4 million tons of rare earth, also has rich reserves of lithium aluminum silver mercury and zinc mine, according to the US anti- section 2010 estimates, Afghanistan has mineral resources total value of about 908 billion. United States originally wanted to post-war reconstruction, develop the mineral resources, including rare earth minerals, provide a lot of employment opportunities for Azerbaijan.

But this development vision is far from realized. With the United States and NATO troops, foreign aid will be less and less, and therefore must rely on their own tax Afghanistan achieve self-reliance. It is estimated that the value of stocks of oil and gas resources in Afghanistan of 2,200 billion dollars, to develop its mineral resources can bring $ 2 billion to Afghanistan's mineral rights fees and taxes annually. However, although the United States has invested heavily in Afghanistan to develop its infrastructure and enhance the technical capacity of the Afghan government still lacks an independent study contract signed and skills management, which relies on the development of mineral and hydrocarbon resources to support their own goals still looks remote impossible.
