To get rid of dependence on rare earth products imported from China, the United States is the country looking for abandoned mine in the residual elements, has a rare earth mine excavation, which may be an impact on China's rare earth-related enterprises.

The Associated Press reported on Sunday that as lanthanum and lutetium like 15 kinds of rare earth elements during the early gold rush has been found, it has not been without attention. Until recent decades, the rapid development of electronic equipment to promote the demand for these elements are also increasingly strong, these elements allow the battery to become more portable, allowing fluorescent screen lights up for the touch screen to add color.

USGS Mineral Resources official Larry Stewart Menezes said: "If these waste products proved to be valuable, then it is a win-win situation, on the one hand we can finally get rid of dependence on China, and secondly we You can also find the elements had not seen before. "

"Before we did not feel that their mining is sufficient to meet demand from China, and we think that earth became a weakness of the U.S. economy," USGS Mineral and Environmental Resources Science Center Director Ian Ridley said.

Two years ago, imported from China rare earth prices began to rise, the price of neodymium per kilogram from 2009 up to 2011 $ 15 500 dollars, the price of dysprosium oxide from 2010 to 114 U.S. dollars a kilogram rose to $ 2,830 in 2011 .

Price increases forced the U.S. government into emergency mode, the U.S. Geological Survey and the Department of Energy to send geologists to go searching all over the country. Now the United States is only a rare earth mine output, and its address is located at the southern California desert Yamaguchi. Part of Molycorp's mine is expected this summer, this can produce 20,000 tons of rare earth, including polished telescope lens for ceria.

Meanwhile, at the University of Nevada, Reno and the University of Colorado School of Mines, the U.S. Geological Survey researchers are using laser irradiation from the instrument during the Gold Rush in the excavated rocks and minerals to detect the presence of rare earth elements.

"We are now revisiting history," U.S. Geological Survey expert in charge of the project proposed grid representation Aaron Kay said.

According to reports, by the influence of rare-earth prices fell sharply, rare earth permanent magnet first-half results were generally declined. According to statistics, A shares the concept of rare earth permanent magnet type 30 companies, has announced results of Letters performance prediction and a total of 19 companies, of which 12 companies announced the first half net profit pre-cut. Experts agree that the second half of the rare-earth prices are expected to rise bottoms, and is expected to achieve corporate performance rare earth permanent losses or recovery.

According to statistics, Advanced Technology, the color of shares, three rings, Minmetals Rare Earth and other companies net profit pre-cut more than 80%, of which Taiyuangangyu net pre-cut rate reached 249%, rare earth permanent magnet plate for the current pre- minus the highest rate of the enterprise.

Rare earth prices fell sharply, declining sales become a drag on the first half performance rare earth permanent magnet enterprises the main reason. From raw material prices, the first half of neodymium praseodymium oxide average price of 301,000 / ton, down 29%, a decline of 12% dysprosium oxide 1847.4 yuan / kg, down 63 percent, a decline of 45%.

With Ganzhou region "black earth" attack in depth, rare earth prices have signs of bottoming out. Although there is a reversal for the earth to judge whether the price is not consistent, but the market more than that, you can continue to rise if the price of rare earth, rare earth permanent magnet corporate annual results are expected deficits.

To seek profits, without obtaining a mining permit in case of unauthorized exploitation of rare earth ore, mineral resources and ecological environment caused serious damage, case proceedings, the defendant Xiong, FAN green Guanhuzeren willing to take ecological restoration initiative to pay to restore vegetation margin. Recently, Ninghua People's Court case with the illegal poaching of rare earth ore verdicts, judgments defendant Xiong, FAN guilty of the crime of illegal mining, were sentenced to three years imprisonment, suspended for four years and fined 120,000 yuan.

June 2011 to November, the defendant Xiong, FAN discuss with others illegal mining of rare earth ore division, the defendant Xiong responsible RBI Foreign mining sites and on the uphill intersection lookout, the defendant FAN dredge socially responsible relationship, and the remaining duties everyone together in the illegal exploitation of Xiang River Ninghua rare earth ore. November 2011 that illegal mining mines destroyed by the river Xiang government. By the Fujian Provincial Department of identification, due to undocumented illegal mining of rare earth mineral resources resulting value of about 700,000 yuan.

Ninghua Court held that the defendant Xiong, FAN together with others to violate the provisions of the Mineral Resources Law, without obtaining a mining permit, unauthorized exploitation of rare earth minerals, causing serious damage to mineral resources, their behavior had constituted the crime of illegal mining. Given the defendant Xiong, FAN justice after a good attitude, and voluntarily pay the deposit to restore vegetation, as appropriate sentences, it made ​​the decision.

Illegal poaching of rare earth mineral resources, mineral resources, not only seriously damaged, but also the impact on the local ecological environment, resulting in soil erosion. To repair damage in the ecological environment of crime, the Court has been committed would rather carry out ecological compensation mechanism of public justice, and Forestry jointly promote the establishment of judicial guarantees Ninghua green ecological support association, fusion funding to re-establish a base model green management and protection, Soil Conservation service for further accelerating the construction of ecological civilization. Green replant bear complex legal obligation to pay the defendant's re-plant complex Green Ecological Association margin is one of the sources of funds to replant the current complex ecological associations rely on two bases in green management and protection of ecological restoration, and achieved good results.

According to Japanese news network reported that the Japanese Ministry of Economy published news that the Japanese government has gained in Japan, the easternmost South Bird Island offshore seabed mineral development rights.

Reported that a preliminary investigation showed that the presence in the South Bird Island offshore seabed there are plenty of platinum, rare earths, cobalt and other precious metal deposits. Government of Japan through Japan Oil, Gas and Metals Mineral Resources Agency (JOGMEC) to the International Seabed Authority proposes to open production applications, recently approved.

The report also said that the Japanese government plans to formally begin from next year onwards resource surveys and technical development work.
