Rare WTO ruling appeal lawsuit June 26 in the end. Over this time, China's rare earth export Deal or will soon be launched. While China's rare earth export policy on the WTO ruling appealed violations, but many people in the industry are expected to only accept the ruling. Chinese Society of Rare Earths experts said that thing about rare earth export restrictions to cancel no conclusion, the current tends to cancel part of the light rare earth export quotas; heavy rare part or to appropriate restrictions, tariffs can not be completely eliminated.

Since March this year, a series of favorable policies to emerge, such as rare earth strategic reserve, rare earth resource tax increase is expected to become more uncertain futures and other rare earths. In this context, a north-south two meetings, with the establishment of a North-South two early rare earth trading platform, is expected to constitute the country's rare earth industry to seek international voice sounds good.

Public information, the distribution of rare earth resources in China can be divided into north and south probably categories. North to the light rare earth-based, with heavy rare earth-based Southern. In terms of resources and industrial chain, called "rare earth" of the header, light rare earth reserves account for 87% of domestic reserves. Relying on resources, form a perfect pattern of development of rare earth industry, has from rare earth mineral processing, smelting, separation, scientific research, processing to the application of the industrial chain.

In terms of rare earth pricing control, both north and south of the market also applied a variety of methods to try. In 2009, the Baotou Rare Earth High-tech Zone Joint Baotou Steel Rare Earth and other seven companies jointly established the Baotou Rare Earth International Trade Company, Baotou rare earth mine production purchase and sale of rare earth oxides and rare earth metals to achieve.

However, the creation of the Exchange will be able to achieve the rare earth product pricing? In fact, whether they have an exchange listed commodity pricing, depending on the mechanism involved in the design and trade groups, the two should complement each other.

Industry insiders say the north-south trading patterns and information exchange standards are published and public-transparent and easier for traders or investors in the transaction true price discovery of rare earth resources. Two rare earth trading platform echoes the north and south, with the expansion of the scale of the transaction, will to some extent curb domestic rare earth market has long internal fighting vicious competition, and gradually won the right to speak.

Danger, how to maintain China's rare earth products in the international market competitiveness has become an important problem to be solved. For now, a rare earth seeking international discourse battle has begun.

Currently about 90% of the world's rare earth resources are produced in China, and the Chinese market is also consumed a lot of the world's rare earth production. These rare earth resources have been widely used in various fields of industrial production, including environmental technology, defense systems and consumer electronics goods. Canada also hopes rare earth production in 2018 could reach 20% of total global supply.

Canadian REE Network (Canadian Rare Earth Elements Network) was established in January of this year, the organization will work with Natural Resources Canada (Natural Resources Canada) for cooperation aimed at the country's rare earth industry development and research. A study on the rare earth industry in Canada also announced last week.

According to the report, the current global rare earth production of about 130,000 tons / year, equivalent to 40 million Canadian dollars to bring about annual revenues for the industry.

Although the scale of production of rare earth projects compared with other metals and minerals is still relatively small, but according to the report data show that the value of the raw materials needed for manufacturing rare earth elements as up to 2 trillion to 4.8 trillion Canadian dollars Canadian dollars.

Mentioned in the report, "In the last 10-15 years, the world's rare earth consumption with 8-12% annual growth rate, industry experts believe that this trend will continue, and the growth will be accelerated. "

According to MIT (Massachusetts Institute of Technology) related studies have shown that to 2025, global industrial demand for specific rare earth elements will rise 2600%.

Its "scarcity, high demand, as well as strategic significance in many high-tech applications," There are five kinds of rare earth elements were emphasized in this report, namely neodymium, europium, terbium, dysprosium and yttrium.

The report quoted a senior research analyst with Canada, Europe and Asia Company (Euro Pacific Canada) Luisa Moreno (Luisa Moreno) view that although the majority of the world's supply of rare earths comes from China, but China's rare earth resources are dwindling, remaining "less than 30 years of estimated remaining supply."

Canada accounts for approximately 40-50% of the world's known reserves of rare earth.

Moreno noted that in 2008-2010, the global total investment of rare earth projects outside of China has reached 30 billion Canadian dollars. In the 56 projects have been identified, half have advanced exploration stage to advance potential.

Government of Canada identified 11 rare earth at an advanced exploration stage project and estimated capital expenditures completion of these projects. Each project is expected to cost a large gap, ranging from 106 million to C $ 2.5 billion Canadian dollars.

The report also lists the Canadian five planned future production of rare earths project in five years. Which is located in Quebec, there are rare metals exploration company (Quest Rare Minerals, TSE: QRM)'s singular Lake (Strange Lake) project, Marta Mike Company (Matamec)'s Zeus - Kipawa (Zeus-Kipawa) projects and Orbite Aluminae Company (TSE: ORT)'s Grande Valley (Grande-Vallée) projects. There is also Avalon Rare Metals Company (Avalon Rare Metals, TSE: AVL) in Canada's Northwest Territories satisfied chala chips (Nechalacho) project, as well as Pele Mountain Resources Inc. (Pele Mountain Resources, CVE: GEM) subsidiary located ecological Mountains Ontario (Eco Ridge) project.

The Canadian government said that in the past three years, the country's rare earth industry R & D investment of only $ 1 million less compared with other developed countries.

U.S. rare earth industry in the past five years, investment in research for about 1.2 billion Canadian dollars, while the Australian rare earth industry investment in the past three years, approximately 80 million Canadian dollars.

Rare industrial "gold", China's largest producer of rare earth first, to protect the rational development of rare earth resources in recent years has promulgated a series of policies, including the introduction of resource tax, mandatory planning mining, export control and so on. In recent years, the order of the rare earth industry continued to improve recycling of rare earth resources have also made positive progress. But with a substantial increase in the price of rare earth products in some areas on a large number of new rare earth resources, recycling projects, individual local blind construction, pollution of the environment during production, and even illegal processing of rare earth minerals, disrupting the normal market order. In this regard, the Ministry issued a "clean-up project specifications recycling of rare earth resources," which the recycling of rare earth resources were the norm.

MIIT 9, 2009 "on the clean-up of rare earth resources, recycling project specification notice" (hereinafter referred to as "Notice"), the recycling of rare earth resources were the norm. "Notice" clearly and firmly to correct the "recycling of resources" in the name, illegal approval of projects and engaged in rare earth rare earth smelting separation production. The second half of 2014, the Ministry of rare earth resources in conjunction with relevant departments to incorporate recycling program management. From the use of infrastructure construction Overlaid ore mining unified into total control plan (mineral production plan); recycling of rare earth products from industrial wastes, incorporating rare earth resources recycling program. Ministry experts on the recycling of rare earth resources throughout the enterprise and production plans after verification, issued related to the production plan.

"Notice" clearly has been put into the project, have been completed but not yet put into the project, construction projects and construction projects have not filed three categories of rare earth resources, recycling projects. The project has been put into operation, to verify the source of rare earth scrap, marketing, environmental protection and other relevant circumstances; has been completed but not yet put into the project, to verify whether the built rare earth smelting separation production lines, processing of rare earth minerals may not be clear to guide its cooperation with a large group of rare earth or converting; construction projects and construction projects are not filed, to distinguish the situation, guide enterprises to stop construction, or start converting, not construction projects that have been filed immediately halted. Provisions throughout the industrial department in conjunction with the relevant departments to clean up immediately rare resource recycling projects, fill in the project checklist), and continue to follow the "About the organization in the fight against rare earth mining, production and circulation of illegal letter irregularities special action" (MIIT associated original letter [2013] No. 344) required to combat illegal activities.

In the specification of rare earth resources, recycling project management, "notice" that the rare earth resources, recycling projects, who built a rare earth smelting separation production line, approved by the Ministry; does not involve rare earth smelting separation, by the local government department. Ministry suspended except large rare conglomerate merger and reorganization of enterprises rare earth smelting and separation projects approved work; relevant authorities throughout shall record involving rare earth smelting separation production line project, guided rare resource recycling business with existing rare earth smelting separation of business cooperation and common development utilization of industrial waste in the rare earth resources.

"Notice", the national existing 67 rare earth processing industrial waste recycling project, located in 11 provinces (autonomous regions), the main recycling NdFeB, phosphor, polishing powder industrial waste, which was treated NdFeB waste capacity of 20 million tons, more than the country produces about six times NdFeB waste, serious excess capacity, some enterprises to "resource recycling" disguise smelting separation production line construction, acquisition and processing of rare earth minerals, through the black market, tax evasion charges, shock and disturb the market order of rare earth, adversely affect the healthy development of rare earth industry.

In another development, the Ministry published sources, the Department of Homeland recently issued "issued 2014 annual total rare earth ore mined tungsten ore control indicators," which will continue to implement the total rare earth ore control targets. Pointed out that in 2014 the total amount of rare earth ore mining index was 10.5 million tons, including rock type (light) rare earth ore index adjusted by 11,200 tons, an increase of about 15% over the previous year.

According to the China Rare Earth Industry Association branch optical functional materials, experts say China over the years, the export of rare earth trichromatic CFL accounted for 70 to 80% of total global sales, but the domestic market is lagging behind, and because of foreign intellectual property rights, China most are OEM, no "pricing power" and "voice", the export price is only one U.S. dollar, making Chinese rare earth fluorescent lamp industry has always been marginal profit.

China currently 23% of the world's rare earth reserves, the supply of more than 90% of global demand, but because of intellectual property issues, the main applications of rare earth rare earth CFLs mainly in OEM production, "Our precious rare earths resources and human resources, pollute their environment, paid a huge price for green lighting the world, "said the expert said such emotion.

China's rare earth phosphor production reached the highest point in 2011, 8,000 tons, and with the volatility in the price of rare earths and weak demand and other factors, the annual output of 2012 significantly reduced by 43.8% to 4,500 tons in 2013 to 3,600 tons, up again decreased by 20%.

According to statistics, China's rare earth phosphor production capacity has reached 25,000 tons / year, the situation appears serious surplus production above association experts said, the industry needs to further optimize the mix, improve rare earth deep-processing products, light rare earth phosphors quality and brand consciousness, to achieve a low-carbon economy, green consumption, high value-added strategic objectives.
