Anshan Iron and Steel Group, Panzhihua Iron and Steel Co., Ltd. and Guangzhou Nonferrous Metal Research Institute recently signed a strategic cooperation agreement, both sides will work to Panzhihua vanadium-titanium magnetite ore separation and new materials critical to the core, common technology research and industrial applications, joint training, gathered vanadium and titanium resources comprehensive utilization of R & D personnel, comprehensive utilization of Panzhihua vanadium and titanium resources to provide scientific and technological support.

Vanadium, titanium is extremely versatile metals. Vanadium is mainly used to improve the performance of steel alloy after processing is used for high-end aerospace titanium aerospace, military and other fields. With the rapid development of new energy sources and improve the performance requirements of steel, very broad prospects for the use of the two materials. However, since the 1960s, since the presence of vanadium and titanium industry on the extensive mode of development, technological bottlenecks, energy conservation pressure, institutional innovation shortage.

Panzhihua vanadium and titanium resources that China has the largest number of iron and steel enterprises in recent years in the development and utilization of Panzhihua Iron and although a lot to explore, made a number of breakthroughs, but utilization is still facing many difficulties.

"Vanadium special metallogenic mechanism and complex mineralogical composition, so that it is difficult to extract vanadium and titanium. Moreover Panxi (Panzhihua, Xichang) of vanadium-titanium magnetite ore are depleted, and foreign bonanza majority, we have no ready-made extraction techniques can be applied, and even can learn very little. "experts believe.

In addition, environmental protection is also constrained vanadium and titanium industry development bottleneck. Vanadium and titanium industry pollution stress, environmental costs are high, the same production line, to consider and do not consider environmental costs, the construction price gap can be up to several times. Environmental costs drove up prices. Some small businesses took the opportunity to drill environmental loopholes, products with low price to win, destroy trade order.

While a variety of enrichment opportunities and resources reserves, while the overheated investment, recycling level is not high and species structure is irrational, vanadium and titanium extensive resources development and industrial development have become increasingly prominent.

Comprehensive development and utilization of vanadium and titanium, must take "open joint, collaborative research," the road of innovation

From the moment Panzhihua Iron and Guangzhou Nonferrous Metal Research Institute signed a strategic cooperation agreement, to March this year, Anshan Iron and Steel Group Corporation signed a strategic cooperation agreement with the Chinese Academy of Sciences, to August last year, the NDRC issued "comprehensive utilization of vanadium and titanium resources and industrial development," second five "Plan" (the "Plan"), a series of actions show that the comprehensive development of our firm, the use of vanadium and titanium resources determination.

"Planning" to define the strict market access, implementation of financing policies to maintain pressure, strict land-use management and encourage the implementation of measures such as tailings waste utilization. With the "planning" escort, Panzhihua City, the further implementation of innovation-driven development strategy, accelerating the development of vanadium and titanium billion industry, building a clean, green "vanadium and titanium are."

"Vanadium and titanium resources is limited, if the long-term exploitation of the blind, who can not guarantee that it will be the next rare earths." Lange Steel Information Research Center analyst Dr. Wang Guoqing, China's rare earth as a big country, resource reserves and supply on the global market volume accounted for 23% of the world and 90%, but the early years of the development of the disorder, the use of low-level, leading to serious waste of resources, environmental pollution increased. And over-reliance on exports of rare resources are properly once sold a "carrot price."

Yao Lin said, comprehensive development and utilization of vanadium and titanium, just rely on the enterprise is difficult to complete, we must adhere to the "open joint, collaborative research," the road of innovation. According to the agreement signed with the Chinese Academy Angang, the two sides will establish a personnel exchange attachment mechanism, timely formation of joint laboratories, research and development center.

From central to local, from leading companies to research institutes, the introduction of a series of policies and measures for gradual implementation, indicating that China is moving in the scientific, rational use of vanadium and titanium resources direction.

In view of the economic slowdown and other factors, demand for rare earth permanent magnet materials market has been shrinking, rare earth permanent magnet materials industry boom also stumbled, and its related product prices continued to fall even more, rare earth permanent magnet stocks continued early Diving mainly stems from this. Among these, the Baotou Rare Earth and other leading varieties is all the way down, and sketched out a clear downward path.

However, rare earth permanent magnet materials industry has been one of China's exports of major commodities, therefore, fall in product prices weakened China's rare earth permanent magnetic materials in the global industrial chain status. To this end, the relevant departments began on the supply side for rare earth permanent magnet materials industry consolidation. On the one hand is the Ministry and other relevant departments will form a large group of rare earth program as one of the priorities in 2013, that is the focus of an existing business enterprise involving rare earth as the main assets as a link, established in accordance with market rules, so as to achieve the relative monopoly industries, thereby Ease of limited production price. The other is the country to crack down on black industry chain industry brought chaos, stability of rare earth industry price.

Affected by this, rare earth permanent magnet material prices have stabilized, the early industrial boom signs of recovery. The securities industry, the economy has always been ahead of the trajectory of the reaction function, so rare earth permanent magnet materials stocks continued to rebound in the last week. Among them, Sheng and resources, such as Rising colored small cap stocks rare earth permanent magnet materials is continuous limit, thereby driving the rare earth permanent magnet materials index rose 6.12 percent last week.

However, for long-term trend, in the supply-side effects of industrial restructuring its hard for long. After all, the real estate boom triggered sustained growth momentum mainly demand side. The current global economic slowdown led to the demand for rare earth permanent magnet materials continued to be sluggish. At the same time, since 2010, rare earth prices rose also makes manufacturers of alternative products related to increased research efforts, alternative products matures, which for rare earth permanent magnet materials industry, it is not a good news. Therefore, we can speculate that this week rare earth permanent magnet materials stocks rose again the space is relatively limited.

Lately, in the face of rare earth market downturn this year, the grim situation, the domestic rare earth industry is brewing a new round of "cut-price", China's largest rare earth production companies have taken the lead from the Baotou Rare Earth July 1 onwards will cut half belongs to rare plant . Last year, the Baotou Rare Earth three times issued "stop price" announcement. Other rare earth companies such as Minmetals, Chinalco and Xiamenwuye to follow its production. In the whole industry, "cut price" a month later, some rare earth appears broad stock market, where prices rose neodymium praseodymium oxide, 20% reached 450,000 yuan per ton. But after a brief rise in rare earth prices will return to the down channel. Ultimately, the 2012 average price of rare earth fell about 40% over the previous year.

In addition, following last year's third quarter gross domestic campaign to crackdown on illegal rare earth supply chain special rectification activities, China's major producing areas for rare earth potential illegal acts to increase the crackdown. Haitong Securities, said the amount of private mining junk in the past two years has been the normal quota of 4 to 5 times. And after the Spring Festival this year, Ganzhou, Guangdong crackdown against the smuggling problem starts, compared to the past economic sanctions, now mostly involved in criminal level, when the industry chain upstream profits reunification, private mining impulse reduced, which is the recent rare earth prices began to rapidly picked up the core reason.

"Triads" and purchasing and storage significantly interfere with short-term supply and demand in the domestic rare earth industry is conducive to rare earth prices rise, but Minsheng Securities also believes that the current recovery of rare earth industry chain downstream demand is lower than expected, making the rare earth prices rebound fatigue, at the same time, persistence and efforts to combat illegal mining of lower than expected.

For downstream demand, Haitong Securities through research that compared to last year, most of the current downstream operating rate recovered to Qi Cheng levels, mainly due to cars, air conditioners and electronics, the downstream demand in coming months as a whole more stable.

Its short term, South Lido square rare earth companies, medium-term policy efforts still need to observe and effects, if the recent introduction of new remediation activities, rare earth prices are expected to continue to rebound, where the heavy rare earth companies benefit from a larger, long-term trends in the rare earth industry still needs observe the policy coherence and implementation efforts.
