Action against illegal mining of rare earth bear fruit prices rose 10 percent two weeks

Pre-downturn rare earth prices rose for two consecutive weeks. Data show that on June 25, neodymium oxide, praseodymium prices 27 to 275,000 yuan, metal praseodymium neodymium 34 to 35 million yuan, up about two weeks ago than 20,000 yuan / ton; dysprosium 1.35 million yuan / ton, terbium oxide 2.6 million yuan / ton, respectively, compared with two weeks ago, up 20 million. Rare earth prices rose by about 10% within two weeks as rare in recent years.

Rare is the primary cause of the price rise recently Ganzhou action against illegal exploitation of rare earth bear fruit. Recently, Jiangxi Xunwu County Public Security Bureau received a report from the masses in rural water Keng Hau Village destroyed an illegal exploitation of rare earth deposits, Yuan Mou suspects were arrested on the spot and the migrant workers five, seized 240 packages refined rare earth, water, earth nearly 100 packages, excavators 1, vehicle 2.

According to statistics, from June 8 Xunwu County in the fight against the illegal exploitation of rare earth special rectification action since the County Public Security Bureau has in the car left the town and water Wenfeng Township Township successfully destroyed the illegal exploitation of rare earth ore point three, arrested suspects Detention people 4 people.

And this is only the Ministry have launched to combat illegal rare earth mining and smelting operations in one example. According to the reporter, the Ministry of Environmental Protection Ministry have jointly Customs, Ministry of Land Resources, Ministry of Commerce and other ministries in several rounds of inventory. Su Bo, vice minister of the Ministry of Industry revealed that this year will take more stringent measures against, including the combination of rare earth invoice monitoring system implementation, and resolutely deal with a number of typical cases.

"Combating the illegal exploitation of rare earth prices have been affected." Rare earth metal analyst Rui Tao Gao Yan believes that the current round of price rise is characterized by rare earth oxides and rare earth metals prices midstream first to rise, while the upstream rare earth concentrate prices also did not rise, the current rose varieties listed above are limited to light rare earth metal neodymium and praseodymium oxide, dysprosium and terbium oxide heavy rare varieties of metal smelting and separation part reflects the characteristics of supply constraints.

Reporters learned that, after the prices of rare earth oxides, Ganzhou Rare Earth Mining Next intends to improve the price of rare earth concentrate.

Another reason for the price rise of rare earth is warming downstream demand. Gao Yan believes that the current large number of rare earth permanent magnet factory operating rate of seven to eight percent, smaller capacity utilization rate was estimated four or five percent. Advanced Technology introduced the second quarter of this year, the operating rate and order rare earth permanent magnet better than a quarter and the previous two years. It is estimated that rare earth permanent operating rate of about 56 percent last year, only three percent.

Currently, traders are reluctant to sell the rare earth emotions, but getting goods downstream firms remained cautious, maintaining low inventory operations.

Expected upstream firm Baotou Steel Rare Earth, Rising Nonferrous other rare earth prices will directly benefit from this round bottomed.

Orderly development and scientific conservation of rare earth resources and stop polluting the environment of rare earth development process behavior, for the promotion of harmonious economic and social development in Guangxi, Guangxi beautiful building of great significance.

"Proposal" in-depth analysis of the Guangxi ion adsorption type conservation status of rare earth resources development that Guangxi type rare earth ion adsorption of ionic state adsorbed on clay minerals in the ore surface, with deposits widely distributed large-scale, easily mined, low radioactivity, extraction process Simple, mining value characteristics. In recent years, governments at all levels to actively promote the formation of large enterprise groups of rare earth, rare earth industry in Guangxi to go to achieve intensive development has laid a solid foundation, but also the rare earth industry in Guangxi there are serious problems: First, the phenomenon of illegal mining of selling stolen serious annually stolen. takeaway ion adsorption type of rare earth products cumulative value over 200 million yuan; Second, serious waste of resources thus wasted every year no less than 10,000 tons of rare earth resources, worth no less than 1 billion yuan; Third, serious environmental pollution, mining backward technology, resulting in the destruction of vegetation, soil acidification and ammoniated serious, forest, farmland causing serious pollution.

"Proposal" to propose a strengthening ion adsorption type rare earth resources in Guangxi development and protection of the relevant measures. First, standardize the order of exploitation. Prohibited without a license mining, cross-border exploitation, to the no-take zones and protected areas such as mining and Luancailanwa behavior, strict implementation of national policies and mandatory protective mining production plan. Meanwhile, resolutely crack down on unauthorized export behavior. Second is to improve the work detailed investigation of rare earth resources. Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region government organizations recommended Geological Exploration Bureau and other departments to accelerate the improvement of the work detailed investigation to find out the real situation of rare earth resources in Guangxi, to avoid rare earth resources due to sand, brick and infrastructure wastage. Three is the implementation of infrastructure projects started after the first detection of earth and rock sample system. Recommend rare earth deposits in the distribution area of ​​the land department land for infrastructure projects when approving the project area increased vetting rare earth content detection approval procedures stones, sand, brick and large-scale infrastructure projects, where the need to split Ridge mountains, before the commencement of the project unit the project area to take samples of the soil stones must be sent to Guangxi Geological spectroscopy detection and analysis center. Fourth, accelerate the transformation and upgrading of the rare earth industry. The existing small-scale production, backward technology and equipment, low recovery of rare earth metals, rare earth smelting environmental pollution deadline Guantingbingzhuan corporate separation, the formation of a number of large rare earth enterprise groups, to form a large-scale enterprise based rare earth industry pattern, out a rational development, orderly production, advanced technology and efficient use of the content type, intensive development path. Fifth, strengthen the innovation capacity building. Emphasis on science and technology sector arrangement proposal Rare scientific and technological projects, focus on addressing the development and application of rare earth ion-adsorption type of common technology, key technology, and strive to leaching mining technology and new pharmaceutical research breakthroughs to improve resource efficiency and reduce environmental pollution. And through the use of public policy to guide policy support, to encourage inventions to meet market demand behavior. Sixth, strengthen the comprehensive management of environmental pollution. By strengthening EIA management, and strict mining technology, the establishment of ecological compensation mechanism, strengthening the comprehensive management of environmental pollution, protect the ecological environment.

It is reported that the "proposal" is implemented in Guangxi Association for Science and Technology Think Tank building year pilot program to mobilize Association for Science, Society experts and technology workers around Guangxi billion dollar industry and the development of emerging industries actively offer advice and suggestions made an important decision consult one of the outcomes. Currently, the "proposal" to send Guangxi land department has been handed over in accordance with the spirit of deepening regional leadership instruction research.
