3 December , the Chinese government announced the State Council issued the network "national resource-based sustainable urban development plan ( 2013-2020 ) " ( hereinafter referred to as the "Plan" ) .

This is the first introduction of the national special program on resource-based sustainable urban development is a major event in the field of sustainable development , energy and resources for the maintenance of national security , promote economic development mode , promoting new industrialization and urbanization, building a resource -saving and environment-friendly society is important.

Promote the sustainable development of resource-based cities in China's modernization process is a major strategic issue, but also a global problem. Since 2001 the State Council in Fuxin City, depletion of resources to carry out the country 's first pilot urban economic restructuring , the state has defined 69 in three tranches resource-exhausted cities , resource depletion summarize experiences of urban transformation in the system and fully grasp the basic situation of China's resource-based cities based on the "plan" for the first time defined the national 262 resource-based cities , and based on resource protection and sustainable development ability differences , the resource-based city is divided into growth , mature , decline -and four types of renewable , clear development direction and priorities of different types of cities .

"Plan " for the actual resource-based urban development , accelerate the transformation of economic development around the main line , the orderly development of comprehensive utilization of resources proposed to build a diversified industrial system , and effectively protect and improve people's livelihood , strengthen environmental management and ecological protection, strengthening support support capacity building of five key tasks , and clearly the overall objective of promoting sustainable development, namely: to 2020 , the basic resource-exhausted cities to complete the transformation task , resource-rich region resource development and economic and social development, ecological environmental protection the basic pattern of the formation of coordination , establish and improve the development order constraints , product pricing , resource development compensation , allocation of shared interest , support and other alternative industries in favor of resource-based long-term mechanism for sustainable urban development .

"Planning" stressed the need to continue to increase the central government transfer payments from the central budget funds for capital and resource-exhausted cities to support efforts to carry out sustainable development pilot resource-rich regions, resource-based cities legislation to accelerate sustainable development , and gradually establish a multi- levels of sustainable development policies security system. To study and formulate classification guidance and resources to develop sustainable urban development and coordination of the national evaluation of the resource-based approach to sustainable urban development, the establishment of sustainable urban development of resource-based statistical system , strengthen guidance and dynamic monitoring of sustainable development.

"Planning" stressed the need to strengthen the important advantages of resource reserves and protected. Among them, select some resource-rich areas , accelerate the construction of oil , coal and scarce coals particular , copper, chromium , manganese, tungsten , rare earth minerals and other key mineral reserve system. Reasonable regulation of the total rare earths , tungsten, antimony and other dominant mineral mining, illegal mining and crack down on illegal mining super indicators . Rare earth ore reserve base , including Baotou, Ganzhou , Shaoguan City , Liangshan Yi Autonomous Prefecture .

Fostering the growth of the advantages of alternative industries . Including to develop nano-materials, high-performance rare earth materials and other new materials industries, and encourage the development of renewable energy and clean energy , urban development in the conditional wind power , photovoltaic power generation , biomass and other new energy industries. Support the development of bio-industry and energy-saving environmental protection industry .

Mine geological environment treatment project . Treatment project includes a large pit in Fuxin Haizhou coal mine area, Fushun West Open , Lingbei Hegang coal mining area , Tongguanshan Tongling Copper Mine , River Ridge Xunwu County Ganzhou Rare Earth Mine , Daye City but also to bridge the mine and so on.

"Plan " requirement, the relevant provincial governments should take the overall responsibility to strengthen the organization and leadership of the resource-based sustainable urban development work. State Council departments to follow the division of functions on the active support of sustainable development . Each resource-based cities to accelerate the development of the implementation plan to ensure that all tasks implement the "Plan" put forward .

Currently RE market temporarily remain stable, but there are also business reflects the relatively chaotic market price , the larger the gap between individual product pricing . At present, some manufacturers have discontinued rare , have some impact on the supply market some products .

Today , according to the manufacturers with Baotou understand , many manufacturers have discontinued , offer a slight increase of individual products , the rare earth sources affected by the current battery level of mixed rare earth and rare earth carbonate prices rose slightly, but not much. According to part with the industry's understanding of Ganzhou , Ganzhou currently have discontinued phenomenon , not much change in price.

Praseodymium , neodymium market , traders and manufacturers Inquirer recently neodymium oxide, praseodymium , but the purchase price is generally low . Now, praseodymium , neodymium lower ticket prices without quotation 262,000 yuan / ton, suppliers this month transaction prices in 260,000 yuan / ton, but most businesses temporarily difficult to accept such a low price shipping.

Lanthanum cerium market, suppliers offer temporary stability , price is not the case of continuous Yindie appear, but lanthanum oxide , cerium oxide merchants offer quite different . It is part of the business Ganzhou reflect current 3N lanthanum oxide, cerium prices below 23,000 yuan / ton, while Baotou suppliers are difficult to deal reflects the price is too low , the local mainstream price around 26,000 yuan / ton. There lanthanum cerium mixed metal supplier with a header in the ticket price 42,000 yuan / ton, there are quotes from suppliers in Shanghai at around 45,000 yuan / ton.

Europium , terbium and yttrium oxides prices temporarily remain stable for two days , according to Ganzhou area businesses offer europium oxide with ticket 4700 yuan / kg , terbium oxide 3,800 yuan / kg, but no recent orders, prices are still yttria 70,000 yuan / ton, the price basically unchanged from last week .

The first three quarters of this year , rare earth permanent magnet plate listed companies net profit of 3.626 billion yuan , down 35.4% , magnetic total listed companies net profit of 590 million yuan , compared with last year 's 1.367 billion yuan , down 56.8 percent .

Right now the demand is still not optimistic about the rare earth , rare earth analyst agency Du Shuai soldiers think , NdFeB industry, large enterprises are more international orders , the operating rate of about eighty percent , but profits are declining , and the average operating rate of the factory and the 70% so, in the end product starts at 50% in the low-end products may be operating rate of less than three percent.

Du Shuai interview with reporters, also said the soldiers , and now all the major domestic manufacturers offer rare earth pull relatively high. " praseodymium , neodymium oxide , for example, is now generally quoted at 400,000 ( t price ) , but the market 's pre- transaction price from 350,000 now 320,000 has dropped even lower . Then the end of the year , everyone wants to sell some of the low-priced goods , put pulled lower overall market prices . "He said that the current volume of rare earth market is not great.

This also led colored Rising inventories of rare earth rare earth Gangster constantly backlog. Data show that colored Rising inventories reached 1.19 billion yuan last year , compared to more than 3 million in 2009 increased by nearly three times .

Industry source told reporters : " subject to the impact of weak downstream demand , colored Rising sales are not optimistic, now mainly in the maintenance subsidiary , the old customer relationships , by restricting the sale price is difficult to cut costs , but the price is too high they will buy . "

However , recently, including Baotou Steel Rare Earth , aluminum and rare earth in the number of large domestic companies are publicly listed on the acquisition of rare earth products , which makes the market for rare earths is expected to increase purchasing and storage . Among them, Rising Nonferrous had 5 November the company announced its southern reserves of rare earth oxides listed prices , products covered praseodymium oxide , neodymium oxide, europium , dysprosium oxide , nearly 10 varieties. But the company also clarified subsequently , did not receive the national authorities involved in purchasing and storage of rare documents , nor any substantive agreement signed business contracts or agreements with the State Material Reserve .

It is noteworthy that last year did not change the purchasing and storage of rare earths was oversupply , on the contrary , after purchasing and storage , rare earth prices down sharply again soon . Outsiders believe that the purchasing and storage , if true, even if the overall short-term boost rare earth prices , but will eventually return to weak fundamentals .

Of associated minerals for rare earths, comments requirements, other minerals , comprehensive utilization of rare earth ore and rock symbiosis of not less than 60%. Other minerals, comprehensive utilization of rare earth ore mineralization associated with not less than 30 %. For ionic rare earth , rare earth concentration in the leaching liquor as its utilization evaluation . When building or heap leaching ore blocks to stop injecting the liquid , the concentration of rare earth ions in the leaching liquor should not be higher than 0.1g / L.

Comments stressed that the future release of existing mines in the target, within two years to achieve the requirements of this indicator . Not up to the requirements of this indicator , the provincial land and resources department should be organized to urge its rectification, the rectification still substandard mining enterprises , not the annual inspection by the development and utilization of mineral resources . Characterized by regional rare earth deposits , ore nature and technology can not reach the objective conditions required by this indicator , mining companies should explain the reasons and submit with the design qualification units issued feasibility reports , suggest improvements , the original registration administrative organ of mining rights to be validated for feasibility reports submitted by mining companies .
