Japan's rare earth mining exploration rights to obtain the high seas reserves available for 40 years

METI announced on the 20th, the Japanese won a rare earth in the Pacific high seas mine exploration rights agency, the current cobalt mine area has proven reserves equivalent to the amount of about 40 years in Japan. Japanese media in this regard that, which made Japan the mine to increase the possibility of resource development, and in the rare earth resources to get rid of dependence on foreign imports have taken a big step forward.

This piece of mine is located in the easternmost from Japan about 600 km south of Bird Island seas, is an area of ​​3,000 square kilometers of mine cobalt-rich crusts. It is reported that, for the manufacture of lithium cobalt electrode is an important resource, the mine area projections of up to 650,000 tons of cobalt reserves, has proven reserves of about 40 years, the amount of Japan. In addition, the mine nickel and platinum reserves in the region were also equivalent to Japan five years and two years of usage.

In 2012, Japan Oil, Gas and Mineral Resources Agency Metal subsidiary bodies of the United Nations, the International Seabed Authority, the proposed mining exploration application and on July 19 this year, held in Jamaica in relevant meetings was adopted. In related formalities, the Japanese will be the year to get the South Sea Bird Island near 6 is valid for 15 years, the exclusive exploration rights. During this time, Japan will conduct a formal investigation and mining technology research, and in the next 10 years in the 1000 km2 choose mine as mining objects.

Japan from the beginning of the 1980s has been extensively worldwide collecting resources. Since 1987, Japan has started on the high seas against mine crusts investigation, and in 2008 began the Japanese EEZ storage case investigation. Last July, Japan to the International Seabed Authority for this piece of proposed mining exploration applications. In January, the University of Tokyo and the Japan Agency for Marine Exploration Agency sent a deep-sea research vessel near Bird Island in the South also had mud seabed sampling and analysis, found that the mine deposits in the region has the world's highest concentration of rare earth content, roughly equivalent to mainland China more than 10 times the concentration of deposits.

It is second only to Japan in 1987 in Hawaii waters southeast of manganese nodule mining exploration rights after the lapse of 26 years again to get exploration rights in international waters. At present, Japan has yet to be developed manganese nodule mining, compared with the manganese nodule mining, mine is more close to the seafloor cobalt-rich crusts surface, easy to develop. Although the high seas bottom crusts Pit mining rules have not yet determined, but METI official said, "The Japanese are likely to be allowed to mine exploration rights have been obtained separately exploitation."

Obtain exploration rights issue caused a lot of media attention in Japan. 20, the article pointed out that the Japanese in the mine to increase the possibility of resource development, and in the rare earth resources to get rid of dependence on imports from overseas, especially to get rid of dependence on China has taken a major step forward.

Japan's Kyodo News reports are that rare metals and other mineral resources, Japan relies heavily on imported obtain exploration rights issue will help to stabilize Japan's energy supply. At present, Japan's cobalt resources 100% dependent on imports from Finland and other places, if exploitation is possible, will significantly improve the energy supply situation.

Remediation storms rare earth stocks soaring

MIIT many ministries to jointly conduct nationwide Rare remediation work, the current regulation scheme has entered the stage of the ministries countersigned. Remediation storms cause rare earth stocks rose yesterday.

It is understood that this regulation is still rare to combat the "black" rare earth-based, but the "anti" scope and intensity will be more than in past years. Two markets, the concept of rare earth related stocks pulled up sharply in early trading yesterday, Minmetals Rare Earth, Sheng and resources sealed daily limit, Baotou Steel Rare Earth rose 8.09 percent, up 4.99 percent Xiamen Tungsten, the color of shares rose 4.85 percent.

Public information display, as early as May of this year, the Ministry had proposed a "new round of rare earths to rectify." After this, the first Ganzhou rare earth industry consolidation began work to develop a "Ganzhou Rare Earth Mining order rectification and supervision special action program." In addition, rare earth prices continued to rise over the past month, but also to related companies formed a positive stimulus.

GF Securities released report shows that government policies to combat illegal mining of rare earth strengthening of private, is caused by the recent pick up rare earth prices bottomed major predisposing factor, if the core of the future continue to focus on rare-earth policy against illegal rare earth and the formation of a large group, then the industry fundamentals expected situation improves, rare earth prices will rise so full recovery, corporate earnings will bottom out.

Smuggling of rare earth in the name of the declaration one day talc shipped 10 tons

"Smuggling" as a legal concept charges, in the rare earth business circles, became vocabulary? Recently, the state of the rare earth industry, strike hard, some responsible persons suspected of smuggling away cooperate with the investigation by the local public security bureau.

"This is not new as long as there are profits, someone will take the risk." One yuan rare earth industry insiders told reporters.

Rare Earth Industry Association, Ma Rongzhang publicly stated last year, in 2011, foreign import statistics than the number of rare earth exports to China Customs statistics 1.2 times higher than the number that smuggling is a normal amount of 120% of exports, "the amount of smuggling now may not be so high, but there must smuggling. "

Recently, this reporter unannounced visits to an export freight business, I learned the details of their smuggling of rare earths.

Profit more than 50% to avoid customs

"This circle where, if strict accordance with national policies define words, many places are 'unclean'." The rare earth industry, told reporters the case said.

He said "no clean", referring to the choice of private mines, smelting separation production targets over production (industry, also known as a side job), there is smuggling.

Why would smuggling of rare earth Eliminated? The industry believes that, because of "profit dictates."

At present, the domestic franchise invoice no private mining of rare earth crackdown increasing separation midstream smelting enterprises will not rush to use this limelight private mines, traders cautious hoard goods, not domestic sales. The export, and if through customs tax, the profit will be greatly reduced; relationship if exports through intermediaries, profits can guarantee at least 50%.

Cerium oxide to heading 2,846,101,000 example, each kg of 15% export duty, value added tax of 17%. According to information provided by rivers Consulting, June ceria average export price of 8.69 U.S. dollars / kg, or about 53,000 yuan / ton. The cerium oxide in the domestic price, but is 2.6 yuan / ton, the export price doubled.

According to the sources, foreign businessmen will understand the domestic rare earth price quotes. If they think $ 8.69 / kg price is too high, demand for lower prices, then, domestic traders to make up the difference out of pocket only, which is obviously not the pen good deal. However, to avoid customs not the same, domestic traders can use more than 30,000 yuan / ton price to sell, some of fees paid to brokers to ensure their own profits at least 50% or more. Generate demand for such smuggling.

Rare is "entrained" exit

Wong (sound) is a person in charge of export freight companies, although quite young, but talk about "sensitive goods" business (smuggling of rare earth) is very skilled.

"You want to export cerium oxide, lanthanum, cerium carbonate such over 20,000 yuan / ton cheaper rare earth, we have to charge 3,500 yuan per ton fee, if those are the heavy rare earth oxide, erbium, fees naturally higher." Mr Wong told reporters, "This price is not high, we will earn 600 yuan per ton to 800 yuan, if large, it can be considered favorable."

Wong export freight companies where both agents clothing, bags such common goods export declaration, but also agents of rare earth, charcoal such "sensitive goods." They are mainly from the Guangdong Whampoa of Hong Kong and Shenzhen, Shekou Port exit, the containers transported to Hong Kong and then help mainland exporters way of fixed positions, shipped overseas buyers.

"Domestic transportation costs requires companies themselves out." Wong said, they are responsible for re-export from the Mainland to Hong Kong and then shipped to foreign link.

He knew entrainment these "sensitive goods" out off the seriousness, but he very confidently said, "We are one day made 3,4 units Hong Kong car (Hong Kong and mainland customs clearance logistics vehicles), rare earth shipments of up to 10 a day ton. "loaded more than one company per container cargo. He is 20 tons per day, for example, 18 tons loaded textile toys, entrainment of two tons of rare earth, rare earth to the declaration on behalf of talc.

The industry had told reporters that this is a means of smuggling of rare earth. Price of up to several hundred thousand tons of heavy rare earths, mixed together with flour or talcum powder to bypass customs inspection, the flow of the customs, and then refined in a foreign country. Colorless, odorless powder mix together, it is difficult to distinguish.

Mr Wong said, that line is very risky, a Hong Kong car one million yuan, if a problem of domestic cars and drivers have been seized, the driver and then go take a couple of years in prison, then the company will pay nearly $ 200 million.

"These private live, we can do it, you can not do what we do not hard embrace." Wong said, "within its capabilities, we can promise to the customer, such as one day out of a few tons of cargo can, if dozens of tons of goods to be once we finished out, it certainly can not do. "

US strategic restructuring of rare earth mining boom lift exploring desire to get rid of dependence on China

"Uncle Sam can sit on a gold mine!" U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Mineral Resources Program Director Minot (Larry Meinert) said. Rare earth supply and demand in the current situation in the breakout, get rid of dependence on China, the United States is being launched nationwide search for rare earth elements in action.

According to the AP, such as lanthanum and neodymium like 15 kinds of rare earth elements as early as in the American West during the gold rush has been found, but has not pay attention to. As electronic product size becomes smaller and smaller, and become more sophisticated, the demand for rare earth surge in 10 years. These elements allow the battery to become more portable, allowing fluorescent screen lights up for the touch screen to add color.

Today, the U.S. government started searching and testing rock mine plan, Geological Survey and the Department of Energy to send geologists to explore the country, all from the U.S. West Yellow Gold mines have been abandoned gravel and ore samples were collected for testing. Minot stressed that if the existence of these rare earth gravel, you can create a win-win situation in many respects, such as the United States can gradually get rid of dependence on Chinese rare earths, and get past the little-known natural resources.

Rare earth elements in the lanthanide series 15 is not entirely uncommon, but not enough focus, and often closely associated elements, so the cost of mining and high resolution.

The United States is the world's second largest country of rare earth resources, second only to China, but for environmental and cost concerns, the United States many years ago to stop mining, on behalf of a large number of imports from China rare earth products.

"Before we did not dig their own, is that sufficient to meet demand from the Chinese imports." USGS Mineral and Environmental Resources Science Center Director Ridley (Ian Ridley) pointed out that "the U.S. economy is now rare to become a weakness."
