Indian Prime Minister Modi will visit Japan on August 31, people have yet to Japanese media have reported visit to Japan & ldquo; achievements & rdquo ;. "Japanese Economic News" reported on the 28th in the headlines, Japan and India will reach an agreement on September 1, imports of rare earths from India.

The report said that Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe and Modi at the Tokyo talks, the Japanese companies and Indian companies to achieve common development and production of rare earth contract, the negotiations have been conducted for several years. Starting early next year in February, 2000-2300 tons of rare earth will be shipped from India to Japan. This is probably for the Japanese production of rare earths by 15% of the total.

"Japanese Economic News" commented that, before more than 90 percent of Japan's rare earths are imported from China, but since the collision occurred in Japan and Diaoyu Islands waters, China has reduced the amount of rare earth exports to Japan, making Japan uneasy. Since then, the Japanese government actively to increase rare earth import channels, and is committed to the development of substitute materials of rare earth, but there are still 60% of the rare earths to be imported from China. Imported from India to make rare Japanese imports of rare earth tend to diversify further, change the status quo of China's dependence. Apart from India, Japan is also working with Vietnam, Kazakhstan negotiate joint production of rare earth projects in order to diversify risk.

Indian leaders meeting in Japan & ldquo; China issues & rdquo; still more than rare. Japan's NHK television reported that Abe will be out for the China National Offshore activity is frequent, and India to discuss strengthening cooperation between the security field, the establishment of diplomatic and defense between Japan and India's cabinet members level consultation mechanism, and promised to provide loans to India. Japan's "Daily News" commented that the Indian Ocean is connected to the Middle East and other places in East Asia maritime traffic.

Rare Earth Alliance Will Be Set Up

Details: Category: Rare Earth News; Published on Friday, 29 August 2014 09:40; Written by jwy; Hits: 2318

Seven domestic rare earth companies have formed an industrial alliance to sue Japan's Hitachi Metals for its patent monopoly in the United States.

Sun Baoyu, chairman of the board of Shenyang General Magnetic Co Ltd and leader of the alliance, said the companies want to end the longtime monopoly held by the Japanese firm in various international markets.

The alliance has already kick-started the process by hiring lawyers to ensure that their production process does not infringe on the Japanese company's patent rights. In addition, Sun and his alliance plan to prove the invalidity of three patents owned by Hitachi Metals Ltd, as part of its efforts to break the stereotype among potential customers.

The Japanese firm had the key intellectual property patent rights for neodymium iron boron untill July 8. Hitachi Metals holds more than 600 neodymium iron boron magnet patents and has authorized only eight Chinese companies with their 149 patents.

Hitachi's own material patent in the United States has expired, Sun said, adding that Chinese companies that had development and processing patents that are different from those of the Japanese company should be allowed to sell their products in the US markets.

China has about 200 neodymium iron boron magnet producers, with five companies having annual production capacity of more than 3,000 metric tons and 20 with capacity of between 1,000 and 3000 metric tons.

If the Japanese firm's patents are held valid, then domestic companies can sell their products only within China. Sun said the production of neodymium iron boron magnet products has remainedstagnant at about 80,000 metric tons, of which, one-fourth is patented and the rest is either sold domestically or pending approval of patents in overseas markets.

"Very few international customers would be interested in our products because of the influence of Hitachi's patents," said Sun. Chinese producers have to compete in the low-end market where many have been suffering from losses and production suspensions.

The alliance has been sell its products since July and received interest from many international customers, Sun said.

Neodymium iron boron magnets are widely used in high-technology industries, from new-energy automobiles to mobile phones. It is estimated that an iPhone has at least 10 components where neodymium iron boron magnets are used. China already accounts for 90 percent of the global rare earth supplies. Rare earths are a group of minerals that have a wide range of uses in high-tech sectors such as defense and renewable energy.

Local mining officials hope mine project to restart, also began to attract mineral company to develop through bidding.

Japan and India intends to develop rare earth enterprises

Details: Category: Rare Earth News; Published on Thursday, 28 August 2014 15:12; Written by HJF; Hits: 2239

Comprehensive Japanese media reported that Toyota Tsusho and other Japanese enterprises have basically reached a consensus with the Indian companies will jointly develop rare earths in India, and in 2015 exports to Japan. Japanese Prime Minister is expected Shinzo Abe and Indian Prime Minister Modi will show support to develop during talks in Tokyo on September 1. It is reported that export scale will reach one thousand tons or more.

Japanese and Indian companies from a few years ago began negotiations around the issues of rare earth exports, and now finally settled in terms of price. The Japanese and Indian firms to jointly develop rare earth rich sources of procurement or Japanese companies, is expected to achieve a stable supply.

Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe and Indian Prime Minister Modi recently to reach a common production plan at the Tokyo summit. It is reported that Indian companies from uranium and thorium ore production of mixed rare earth materials, the use of Toyota Tsusho production of electric and hybrid vehicles required for rare earth materials neodymium, lanthanum, cerium and praseodymium and other rare earth materials.

India hopes among Japan's Prime Minister Modi's visit to get support for a nuclear agreement and its huge market to attract investment.
