Molycorp Rare U.S. demand-driven mergers and acquisitions

 
 

United States and Europe for Chinese rare earth export restrictions sued WTO, since fluctuations in the international market.
 
REE and trace metals in the U.S. ETF fund strategy (NYSEArca: REMX) continued to rise over last year has risen by 12.4% , rare earth demand is increasing as the economy recovers .

The ETF fund in the 9th up 4.8% in a single day , mainly due to the acquisition of the U.S. company Molycorp rare earth companies listed in Canada to promote a rare earth processing enterprises .

The current global demand for rare earths is about 136,000 tonnes per year , but Marc Humphries Congressional Research institutions predict that figure will rise in 2015 to 18.5 million tonnes to 20 million tonnes by 2020 .

As the Western Hemisphere 's largest reserves of rare earth enterprises , Molycorp owns the Mountain Pass mine in California , but had discontinued the environment and market competition , which plans to resume full operations in April this year . But given the precedent of the previous delay , whether the company can achieve this much actual production capacity is still unknown.

The company hopes to take advantage of rising global demand for rare earths and China's rare earth export controls to promote their own development , it has been and cooperation with Japanese companies built from raw materials to the rare earth magnet production line, and the acquisition of Canadian rare earth processing enterprises Neo Material Technologies is also a for this purpose , so that it can produce various types of magnets, while the latter want to change the status quo by being acquired dependence on Chinese rare earth oxide exports.

Some analysts told Reuters , the acquisition even make Molycorp GM or Toyota itself becomes a potential acquisition target .

In addition to Molycorp, due to the global rare earth supply concerns and the resulting high prices , the capital markets in order to attract investors to the concept of rare earth enterprises unusual.

Part of the tight supply of rare earth products, lanthanum, cerium still low

Currently active rare earth market showed a gradual momentum , particularly neodymium , praseodymium , dysprosium products performed well , the Festival has been a substantial rise in prices . According to industry sources , some manufacturers cut Baotou region had an impact on the market supply . The current price of praseodymium neodymium class significantly improved, and the latter is expected to remain biased growth. According to Baotou and Ganzhou with local businesses to understand , praseodymium , neodymium metal prices are currently more focused on the 430,000 yuan / ton, while the oxide, praseodymium , neodymium rose to 32.5-33 million / tonne , industry suppliers , said the market now has 335,000 of offer.

Praseodymium oxide market is currently stable or slightly praseodymium oxide slight increase in price . Ganzhou suppliers grass Shen said the current price of praseodymium oxide at about 580,000 yuan / ton, a slight increase of about $ 5,000 / ton , other local businesses , said the current price of around 600,000 yuan / ton.

Products dysprosium oxide, dysprosium mainstream prices rose to 178-180 yuan / ton , the recent inquiry hotter , according to traders with some understanding of the current inventory is not large . Dysprosium iron prices have raised the 2-3 yuan / ton , the mainstream quotations are basically concentrated to 1.8 million yuan / ton. Dysprosium metal prices also increased relative to years 5-10 yuan / ton.

Lanthanum, cerium type of market volatility is still in the doldrums , there are manufacturers Baotou 3N lanthanum oxide and cerium oxide prices were down by 1 1000-24000 yuan / ton , as with Ganzhou suppliers understood 3N lanthanum oxide and cerium oxide prices in 23,000 and 21,000 yuan . Lanthanum, cerium relatively little change supply and demand patterns , market rebound more slowly.

Rare earth smelting and other nine industries will have a new benchmark for cleaner production

National Development and Reform Commission , Ministry of Environmental Protection and the Ministry of Integration has prepared phosphorus, renewable clean production evaluation system rubber , rare earth smelting and other nine industries to replace the existing system of criteria and indicators to guide and encourage enterprises to implement cleaner production law. After the draft announced on February 14 , the reporter interviewed the relevant industry associations understand that these industries pollution , energy consumption and other problems have constrained the development of the urgent need to promote cleaner production audit , technical and management measures demonstrate a reasonable indicator system .

Phosphorus, recycled rubber , clean production evaluation index system of rare earth smelting industry , are based on a comprehensive evaluation of the resulting scores will be cleaner production level is divided into three levels: the international advanced level of cleaner production or domestic leading level of clean production ; two cleaner production for the domestic advanced level ; three basic domestic cleaner production ( general ) level. Evaluation of specific indicators , including indicators of production technology and equipment , resources and energy consumption indicators , indicators of resource utilization , pollutant indicator , indicators of product characteristics , cleaner production management indicators.

According to the Deputy Secretary-General of China Inorganic Salt Industry Association, Wang Peilin introduction, phosphorus is a resource-based pollution and high energy consumption products , yellow phosphorus industry in recent years in terms of energy saving , although some progress , but uneven development of advanced enterprise and backward energy consumption per unit of product differ greatly between enterprises . Advanced level of energy consumption is only 2.7 tons to 3.3 tons of standard coal , and energy Laggards up to 4 tons of standard coal . Which is mainly phosphorus untapped direct combustion exhaust vent , wasting energy while polluting the environment . " Yellow phosphorus industry clean production evaluation index system" for the first time introduced to promote clean production enterprises to provide technical guidance, for the implementation of cleaner production audit , cleaner production and environmental impact assessment of the performance of the announcement , emission permits and other related environmental management system provides basis.

He said that the clean production of yellow phosphorus enterprises there is a certain degree of difficulty, the introduction of clean production evaluation index system , exhaust gas utilization will accelerate the industry , the use of low-grade ore , progress and other aspects of dry dust .

China Rubber Industry Association , said rubber utilization Branch Secretary Cao Qingxin , China is the world 's first rubber consuming country , but is very scarce national resources of rubber , more than 80 percent of domestic natural rubber and synthetic rubber require more than 40 percent of imports , recycled rubber and vulcanized rubber powder is an important complement to the resources of the rubber. Currently, the promotion of renewable rubber cleaner production, reduce pollution emissions from the source of recycled rubber and vulcanized rubber powder industry priority. And promotion of cleaner production audit , technical and management measures demonstrate the urgent need for a reasonable indicator system . He suggested that the state has adopted incentive rules, encourage enterprises to keep in line to the secondary , level of clean production standards , while not up to the standard of the three companies should be punished and even eliminated.

It is understood that the rare earth smelting separation process is more complex, chemical materials , water and energy consumption, produce large amounts of waste gas, waste water, waste . Rare earth smelting and separation of rare earth industry has become the development process of China's most serious pollution problems in the field , to carry out clean production areas of rare earth smelting is imperative . Establishment of rare earth industry clean production evaluation index system for cleaner production activities effectively regulate and evaluate its effects become increasingly important.

Deputy Director of Environmental Protection Department of quality and safety of China Petrochemical Association with Ning Chuang said , 2009 NDRC has organized the preparation of clean production evaluation system 30 key industries , the three ministries jointly issued this evaluation system is to effectively integrate standards, to create a unified implementation of cleaner production audit benchmarks and benchmark.
