A rare top-down regulation " storm" has begun. Recently, this reporter learned from the Ministry of authority , the Ministry is preparing a " special invoices " as a clue, involving the domestic rare earth mining, smelting and trading enterprise for large-scale separation of the special investigation, one by one register and check the conditions established under the earth management " black list " and categorized for management, to establish long-term regulatory mechanism .

With the previous inspection have other is that this rare remediation objects , including not only Baotou , Ganzhou , Guangdong and other places of rare earth minerals separation of rare earth mining and smelting enterprises, some of Shanghai , Beijing and other rare-earth trading companies are also the scope of the examination , a total of 1594 households.

" Once Rare illegal activities, in addition to local authorities for shutting down rectify such punishment, the rare earth companies will be registered into the earth ' blacklist ', including the people in charge ( the boss ) , will become the Ministry of Industry and local government focus monitoring objects , and local government accountability linked to prevent ' resurgence ' . " The source said.

As China's important strategic resource , in order to protect resources and the environment , China has adopted a more stringent policy of rare earth mining and production management . But the temptation of huge profits , free outside of the regulatory "black earth " industrial chain has continued to grow, not only the destruction of the environment and waste of resources , but also to the integration of rare earth great difficulty .

China Rare Earth Association Secretary-General Ma Rongzhang had anxiously said that at present the country illegally rare earth production capacity is close to the sum of legitimate businesses . In 2012 , for example, the South of heavy rare earth minerals total of 13,400 tons of mandatory plans . But according to Rare Earth Industry Association statistics, in the South mine in 2012 to produce at least 3.7 million tons, which can launch the South smelting enterprises ionic mineral separation , 70% of unknown origin .

More worrying is the situation from the past , often against production and sales of "black earth " special event is over, it began criminals rampant , some of the illegal exploitation of rare earth smelting separation plant are & ldquo ; limelight "after the resurgence . Individual local governments are also thinking of local protectionism , combat is not positive, but also in violation of national industrial policy, rare earth smelting and separation of rare earth projects in excess of authority , or even condone the illegal production and processing of rare earth behavior. "We want to solve the problem of repeated , worked out a more effective regulatory mechanism. "

Authorities said above , recently the Ministry has been used since last year, the list of enterprises Rare invoices , in accordance with enterprise registration underground distributed to local governments , and requires each local authority to all enterprises involved in rare earth raw materials procurement , production, processing and downstream customers fill out checklist case , the first phase of local self-examination requirement completed in October , followed by a second phase of eight ministries and commissions of the Joint Inspection , and finally to create a database of rare earth enterprises administered separately , for some tainted or repeated violations enterprises ( responsible person ) requires local governments to supervise the handling and implementation of the accountability system .

"The first is to block the source , through the protection and exploitation of mining and smelting separation enterprises supervision to prevent illegal exploitation or exceed the mandatory plan and oxides of rare earth ore mining products to the market ; followed by a thorough investigation of the flow through the earth sources of trade enterprises purchase and sales records registration investigation, if it is found trade enterprises selling products of unknown origin will be investigated and dealt with , to prevent trade enterprises have become the black earth ' bleached ' tool. " a rare Inspection Unit Ministry officials said.

August 26 to 30 , the reporter to follow the Ministry of Baotou Rare Earth inspection teams to conduct research informed that some selected scenes have unlawfully engaged in iron ore smelting and separation of rare earth , rare earth prices soaring once in the period earned " bowl full of pots overflow " in the local authorities under the crackdown has been forced to shut down now for several months. This reporter saw a number of domestic and farm located Wulateqianqi flotation involving rare earth enterprises are based on " recycled iron , sponge iron " in the name , cleverly evaded government regulators , plant and outside are dust and weeds , the scene of rare earth flotation device process is very simple, and basically there is no environmental protection equipment .

"In order to avoid regulation , these illegal concentrator will choose some of the sparsely populated, remote areas and mountains , it also gives us the work of great difficulty . Some plant Basically addition to local reports , there is virtually no way to discovery. "The local government authorities have pointed to a person in charge of abandoned open-air concentrator , said , " This place usually do not come into the car , on foot must take more than one hour , concealment is very strong , they are the first to use a forklift the road leveled and then transported rare earth ore . "

"Our next step will be to increase the intensity of rare earth remediation . In addition to meet the special rectification , but we have to put on the development of rare earth industry overall planning program to accelerate the development of Baotou Rare Earth industry consolidation extends to deep processing , and to strengthen and Bayan Obo mine tailings management and governance efforts. Moreover once the illegal mining, Pirates ore, smelting separation , etc. will be severely punished . " Baotou City Vice Mayor Xu Delin an interview with reporters said.

Recently, on the rare countries will be purchasing and storage of messages flooding the market. Reporters learned from the relevant pipeline , rare earth Shouchu expected during the year to honor , but the exact timing is hard to confirm. At the same time , the state is still brewing more rare Deal.

Shouchu rumors flying around

Starting from the early July , the market will have similar rare earth Shouchu rumors. September , the message continue to ferment , a recent rumor is around October 20 will determine the purchasing and storage solutions . In this regard, a person close to the earth Association yesterday told reporters that the country does have a year purchasing and storage plan . However, purchasing and storage price and timing are all secret , not open to the market .

A research report , the state purchasing and storage plan will be in October on earth , the whole dish will have ten billion yuan purchasing and storage , and is mainly in the heavy rare earths. The participating companies have six purchasing and storage . Purchasing and storage products praseodymium neodymium 4000 tons , praseodymium , neodymium oxide, each 500 tons , 1200 tons of dysprosium oxide , or 1,500 tons , 300 tons erbium oxide , also plans Shouchu europium oxide, terbium each 500 tons , 2500 tons of yttrium oxide or 2,000 tons , as well as Lutetium oxide , totaling 10,000 tons or more.

From 2010 to start building our earth purchasing and storage system . 2011 and 2012, twice the national implementation of the purchasing and storage . Last year, the price of purchasing and storage of rare earth allegedly by six months the average price of the acquisition . At that time , in order to improve the purchase price , purchasing and storage enterprises to continuously improve the market price , resulting in inflated purchase price and the lower market price .

Rare earth industry to be combed

Near the end , in addition to a new round of rare earth reserve, there are a number of rare earth industry policy in the offing .

In 2012, the United States , the European Union officially in the WTO on China 's rare earth export quota system proceedings. SW that rare earth WTO case is expected by the end of 2013 the outcome.

Although this international lawsuit winning or losing is inconclusive, but the authorities are very worried that once the rare earth industry abolished tariffs and export quotas , the earth will be like before vendors into a price scrimmage , rare earth return "cabbage price " era, industry green is also difficult to protect .

In order to prevent the same mistakes, the Chinese government is to re-sort the rare earth industry policy : If the unprecedented efforts to combat the illegal exploitation ; intends to introduce "Rare Management Regulations" ; formation of large groups ; another brewing differentiated management of different varieties of rare earth .

Rare species of rare earth is to adjust the purchasing and storage management as a means of differentiation . Cancel quota of rare earth , rare earth exports will be more market-oriented , combined with overseas expansion varieties are rare , light rare competition will intensify. Flexible purchasing and storage policy helps stabilize rare earth rare earth prices .

More critical downstream applications

Insiders said that although there are a number of rare-earth policy in the making , but the decision is the price of rare earth downstream applications . Otherwise, rare earth prices rebound fatigue .

Since June , rare earth prices have risen a lot of money . However, the delay in purchasing and storage of rare earth floor , market confidence in the setback . Day after the first week , the rare earth market prices of some products declined slightly , especially praseodymium neodymium, dysprosium and other product prices fell more obvious . Lanthanum , cerium and other products , such as pre-holiday sales of the same: very few people ask , the market deserted. Europium, terbium and other products in the post although some inquiries , but also basic little deal , the market turnover situation is not optimistic .

Although the policy is expected to help, but weak demand suppression rare earth prices. According to reports , rare earth permanent magnet material utilization rate in June and July, a record high for the year after began to fall. " very bad, very bad. "Industry analysts say , and expected, due to downstream applications enterprise procurement will not positive, stable prices during the rare earth and fell slightly .

Shanghai Securities News reporter was informed that the Ministry is preparing to promote the application of rare earth downstream market policies .
