In late June, the domestic heavy rare earth ore concentrated area Ganzhou Rare Earth private mining stocks began to seizure, holding the goods began to push up the market opportunity to hype and heavy rare earth began to rebound after two years in the doldrums of the rare earth market has finally ushered in the thaw period, but the comparison is not difficult to find that two years ago, is also behind thaw the guiding role of the policy side, but two years ago, the intensity should be larger than it is now, then in addition to the release of the implementation of the country 22, the State Council also issued a number of opinions as well as the implementation of the Ministry of Industry to establish strategic reserves of rare earth, promote the industry mergers and acquisitions, in almost the same context, the rare earth market to make the same response, but lasted only two years ago, the market soared after a few months, then quickly dropped back . Social business nonferrous metals industry analyst Fan Yanxia noted that, despite efforts to rectify the earth continues to increase, but the downturn in demand makes the future price of rare earth remains under pressure, two years ago, the market does not exclude the spike may be repeated.

Lean-burn technology can greatly reduce vehicle fuel consumption, while reducing greenhouse gas emissions of carbon dioxide, but the lean (oxygen) atmosphere, the nitrogen oxide (NOx) it is hard to remove catalyst. Recently, Li Xingang Tianjin University research group using NOx trap (LNT) technology will be relatively inexpensive Pd on rare earth doped perovskite among the perovskite catalysts obtained La0.7Sr0.3Co0.97Pd0.03O3 at 275 ° C ~ 400 ° C operating temperature window, NOx elimination of N2 efficiency and product selectivity were higher than 90%. Meanwhile, the catalyst also shows excellent resistance to sulfur in the reaction gas line 100ppm SO2 added almost no effect on the catalytic activity. The catalyst can be used to replace the expensive Pt-based catalysts LNT lean NOx catalyst in the exhaust elimination Catalytic Removal of NOx with excellent results.

This week the market of rare earth market as a whole is more fiery, especially praseodymium, neodymium and dysprosium metal oxide prices overall upward, which praseodymium neodymium oxide and dysprosium prices rise the most obvious. Two days yttrium oxide, erbium oxide, gadolinium market prices also have a more substantial increase. But now rare earth market has obvious problem is price confusion, there is no market price, despite the current high prices of many varieties, but the actual transaction considered small, which causes more, praseodymium neodymium, dysprosium oxide suppliers reluctant to sell bullish, only a small amount of goods or not. Europium, terbium oxides prices firm, but the transaction is insufficient.

United States Geological Survey (USGS) Mineral Resources Program Director Minot, said recently that the U.S. government has started searching and testing rock mine plan, Geological Survey and the Department of Energy has sent geologists to explore the country, from the western United States each has abandoned gravel Yellow Gold mines and ore samples were collected for testing.

It is noteworthy that, following the end of 2010 the United States since the resumption of production of rare earth minerals, the U.S. government plans to start again rare find. Meanwhile, the U.S. House of Representatives Rules Committee passed the "2013 National Strategic and Critical Minerals Production Act Act" (hereinafter referred to as the "Act") for consideration and discussion of the General Assembly submitted to the House of Representatives, hoping to speed up domestic strategic mineral resources exploitation, reduce dependence on Chinese rare earth resources.

"The U.S. Congress passed a bill reforming the introduction of rare-earth strategy, and launched a search in the local rare earth elements within the action, intended to pressure the Chinese government, from the current supply and demand pattern of rare earth to stand." 25, the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences Institute of American Studies deputy director, the Herald Commentator Ni Feng accepts Economic Herald reporter said.

The high cost of mining and milling

It is understood that, according to the "bill" in the exploitation of strategic mineral resources companies to submit an application, the United States approving departments must be made within 30 months of approval not to be unreasonably delaying approval. The debate in the House Rules Committee, the "Act" proponent U.S. House of Representatives, Mr Modi Delaware Republican lawmakers said the bill put forward is based on national security considerations and economic recovery, there are nearly 60 members signed support the bill.

Notably, the United States currently has 19 kinds of non-fuel minerals entirely dependent on foreign imports, the demand for more than 50% dependent on imports of non-fuel minerals up to 24 species, including a variety of rare earth elements. Meanwhile, in 25 major mineral countries, the U.S. authorities for approval mine exploitation license for the longest time, the "Act" implementation will undoubtedly change this situation.

"United States to expand domestic rare earth mining is mainly due to national security concerns, after all Earlier data show that Chinese monopoly over 95 percent of the global supply of rare earth rare earth is an indispensable strategic resource, U.S. export restrictions in China after growing recognition to the importance of rare earth resources, relying solely on cheap imports from China Rare Earth has become the past, the need to develop their strategic reserves. "Ni Feng expressed, rare earth new materials are often used in military and other fields, the dominant control of rare earth resources right to help the United States for technological development of the industry ahead of the layout.

"The other is for commercial reasons because of China's rare earth export quotas to take such control measures, led the international rare earth price fluctuations, the U.S. downstream production enterprises greater impact, so in the rare earth market, the United States hopes to regain voice pricing This is also in line with its recently has been advocating 'energy independence' policy. "Ni Feng concluded that U.S. domestic rare earth strategy to restart economic and strategic significance has double value.

At the same time, the Herald reporter noted, there are a considerable part of the U.S. Democratic lawmakers on the "Act" expressed doubts, saying that if the bill is likely to accelerate approval of the environmental damage, while the high cost of mining and refining complex issues are also constrained production of rare earth industry one of the reasons.

"From the bill proposed in the House of Representatives Committee on Rules to get through this process, the United States on Chinese rare earth export management approach does not eliminate concerns to military enterprises, represented by the continuing pressure from interest groups." Ni Feng expressed , although the "Act" is still unknown whether the final implementation, but it is undoubtedly the release of rare earth dependence on China to get rid of this signal. For quell discontent considerations, the U.S. Democratic Party and the Obama administration on the issue of rare earth in China will put more pressure on China to relax Rare management measures.

Sustained export control

The 25th Shandong Provincial Commission by letter of rare earth raw materials industries at Herald office acceptable to the Director Liu told reporters that, for the protection of resources and environmental considerations recent years, China's rare earth mining and export of rare earth products taken a series of strict control measures , for now this trend will continue.

According to reports, in order to change the draining away of rare earth resources, environmental damage severe embarrassment, since 2003, China's official export quotas for rare earths, rare earths in 2005 abolished the export tax rebate, and compress the number of firms export quotas. To 2006, the Ministry stopped issuing permits mining of rare earth, rare earth production in 2007 began to implement mandatory planning, and reduce exports of rare earths; 2008 release of "National Mineral Resources Plan" provides that to 2015, China's rare earth years mined about 140,000 tons in total control; early 2011, China's export volume of rare earth has announced 40% reduction compared to previous years.

Herald reporter access to the Ministry of Commerce recently released 2013 second batch (of 24) of rare earth export quotas notice found that China's rare earth export quota in 2013 totaled 31,001 tons, compared to the 2012 export quota is not significantly increased.

Shandong Peng Industrial Co., Ltd. of Shandong of only two rare earth export quota export enterprises, which in 2013 the second batch of rare earth export quota of rare earths and heavy rare earth light, respectively 378 tons and 40 tons, 2013 compared to the first batch of rare earth export quota 422 tons and 48 tons of export scale, reducing the amplitude can be described as obvious.

Shandong Peng Industrial Co., Ltd. Sales manager surnamed Zhang told the Herald reporter, the company's production capacity of rare earth products is much higher than export quotas, if we increase the number of quotas, enterprises can digest. According to reports, the company's rare earth products are mainly exported to the United States, Japan and other countries, a smaller proportion of the domestic market, with the implementation of the quota system, how to develop the domestic market becomes increasingly important.

Vicki put pressure on prices

In recent years, as China's strict control of rare earth export quotas, soaring international price of rare earth, rare earth minerals from the earth to the product, the price is almost available "surge" to describe. In May 2011 the State Council issued "on the promotion of sustained and healthy development of rare earth industry a number of opinions", the Chinese rare earth prices soaring again, the rate of increase compared to 2008 was more than 500% year international CCIEE rare earth index also rose nearly five-fold .

"The U.S. strategy to restart domestic rare earth still in its infancy, even if recovery mining, the scale is not too large, its real purpose is to make the international market high rare earth prices down." Ni Feng admitted that import substitution domestic rare earth mining premise yes, one exporting country without too many restrictions on the export of rare earth, the second is the relative domestic import prices lower mining costs, when the two can not be met, the United States hoping to restart the local strategic low rare earth market price.

Herald reporter noted, China's rare earth export quota system implementation and start trying to control exports of rare earths, a series of initiatives to restrict exports of rare earths once let the United States, Japan and other big consumer of rare earths is extremely dissatisfied, and even to China labeled as "resource nationalism" in hats, it is precisely because in recent years, China's rare earth export quota management and control, making the international rare earth prices rose gradually developed enough to attract interest from other countries and contributed to competition, the United States and Japan and other big consumer of rare earths was turned teamed find an alternative to China Rare Earth Source.

It is understood that the U.S. Pentagon and the Japanese Toyota worked with two Canadian mining companies --- Ucore Rare Metals Co., Ltd. and Matamec exploration companies to develop rare earth mine in North America; At the same time, when he was Japanese Foreign Minister Genba Koichiro has also continuously Meets with Kazakhstan and other Central Asian countries, five foreign ministers promised to give financial support to those countries by way of joint venture plant to develop these former Soviet Union country of rich rare earth mineral resources.

Herald reporter noted that it is affected, in 2011 China's rare earth export quota for the physical volume of 30,000 tons, the actual exported only 18,600 tons, which means that 40% of the rare earth quotas are not used.

Spread downstream industries

Rare earth prices soared sharply also spread to the domestic application of rare earth enterprises, due to unbearable high raw material prices, some companies have to start looking for alternatives, even at the low end back ferrite era.

It is understood that the 2012 annual operating rate of rare earth downstream applications vendors was as little as one to two percent, the number of enterprises remained at the edge of collapse. 2013 second quarter, although the application of rare earth enterprises operating rate improved to five to 60 per cent but the shadow of soaring raw material prices plunge allow enterprises to have been low inventory of strategies to deal with risks. More than industry experts said the dramatic changes in the price of rare earth serious blow to the development of downstream industries, a large number of alternative technologies enable new applications of rare earth died, and even lead to technical regress.

In addition, the domestic demand for downstream applications enterprises is not high, coupled with limited export quotas, and ultimately spread to the upstream rare earth raw materials market. Herald reporter noted that through continued downward, rare earth prices have fallen to pre-boom levels, while a large number of rare earth piled in the warehouse can not find buyers situation.

Affected by this, the first half of this year, the rare earth-related poor performance of listed companies. In Baotou Steel Rare Earth (600,111), for example, in the first quarter net profit of 245,262,900 yuan, down 79.68%; Minmetals Rare Earth (000,831) expects first half net profit of about 9 million -1500 million yuan, down 92.50% -95.50 %. Leading enterprise application providers downstream Zhong Ke San Huan (000,970) in the first half profit of 138 million -2.30 million, down 50% -70%.

After adjustment for several days after the Minmetals Rare Earth, Baotou Steel Rare Earth and other leading driven by the collective strength of rare earth permanent magnet plate again. Although early lead strong rare earth permanent magnet to stimulate the market was heavy volume upside, however the one hand, the driving force of rare earth permanent magnet continuing to be tested, for example, Ganzhou Rare Earth integration of rare earth prices to stimulate long-term limited; On the other hand, rare earth leading shares after rapid increases in the short term, the key resistance encountered early bits need to be adjusted in this position. According to industry analysts, it is precisely these two adverse factors, resulting in rare earth permanent magnet sector collective continuous adjustment for several days, but did not observe its indexation start long Yin missed the bottom, showing the willingness of funds to do more still, five rare earth minerals and other leading trading also shows the degree of active funds have not decreased. In addition, rare earth permanent magnet in recent years after the transaction, usually the market index bottomed rebound, and rare earth permanent part of the band leading stocks rose with excess return, which greatly attracted capital market to follow suit.

Thus, short-term active rare earth permanent magnet still has potential, from the operational point of view, with a certain sense, but based on past experience of rare earth permanent magnet rebound, only leading stocks rebound relatively large, most of the rest of the stocks followed, obviously this is based on the nature of the rebound, unlike its subject investments. Select from the point of view of the current market, leading Minmetals Rare Earth, Sheng and resources, Baotou Steel Rare Earth, Rising colored suspension because of non-public offering, which a few individual stocks with strong operational meaning, of which the first two because the reorganization of assets, properties from the stock point of view, with a certain theme overlay effect, thus becoming the leading concept. Baotou Steel Rare Earth because it is a rare earth industry leader, has a good performance every rebound, colored Rising stocks is traditionally relatively active and has become a rebound in the previous leading gainers. This is a rare earth permanent magnet plate a few stocks in the crowd, with a strong operability, can focus on.

Recent rare earth prices rebounded, mainly due to production cuts and the fight against the illicit production and protect the price for. We believe that the current round of rare-earth prices rebound or will continue for some time, but not with the 2011 increase that round skyrocketing compared.

Recent rare earth prices rise bottom. Where: light rare earth (including: lanthanum, cerium, praseodymium, neodymium, promethium, samarium, europium, gadolinium) rebounded by 5% -10%; heavy rare earth (including: terbium, dysprosium, 鈥, erbium, thulium, ytterbium, lutetium , scandium, yttrium) rebounded by 20% -30%. In terms of geographical distribution, the light rare earths are concentrated in the north and the heavy rare earth concentrated in the south.

Rare earth prices rebound this round main reasons: 1) since late June, Jiangxi Ganzhou campaign against "black earth" special action; 2) there is news that the Ministry of brewing promote RE downstream applications market policies, while the United multiministerial increase the comprehensive governance "black earth" efforts; 3) leading the Baotou Rare Earth rare Northern announced starting from July 1 cut half of its rare earths processing plant.

We believe that the current round of price increases or rare earths will continue for some time, but not with the 2011 increase that round skyrocketing compared. The main reason is: The current demand for downstream demand remained weak, especially magnetic materials, market expectations of future downstream demand is also very cautious, so cut down on illegal production and protect the price of price support efforts will be weakened. While in 2011 the entire earth relatively stable market supply and demand, policy stimulus has greatly improved and the market is expected to push up the market price.
 
A) a clear cut half a means to protect the price, but also reflects the demand is expected for the second half of the earth is poor; 2) Stop are active practices have been available raw materials inventory it will not affect the production plan; 3) speculate on the possible and promote the Northern restructuring related to: December 27 this year, "rare earth upstream business integration and restructuring framework agreement" will expire, if not before signing a formal agreement, restructuring fails. Select Mineral discontinued six months can effectively reduce the amount of concentrate supply, its effect is similar to water and electricity, is conducive to the smooth progress of restructuring.

U.S. media broke the news that the United States some members mulls bill requiring the government to allow to increase domestic rare earth mining. U.S. Lawmakers said the move primarily to reduce dependence on Chinese rare earths to protect U.S. national security.

Under the Act, the U.S. approval authority must be made within 30 months of approval not to be unreasonably delaying approval. The debate in the House Rules Committee on Modi by explaining the purpose of the Bill, said the bill put forward is based on national security considerations and economic recovery.

Moment, pushing America to expand domestic rare earth mining behind the main factors: First, the market demand is huge. REE is manufactured rockets, computers, stealth aircraft, LED fluorescent tubes, and many other products indispensable raw materials. More importantly, rare earth manufacturing energy saving products is an important raw material, the United States to reduce dependence on fossil fuels, imported from overseas can not meet their own needs. "Forbes" magazine said the United States is sitting on the world's proven reserves of 15% of the earth, but the yield was less than 1% of the world, resulting in this production capacity and reserves within the United States do not match demand and is mainly due to government restrictions the exploitation of rare earth resources.

Second, out of its own military security considerations. United States, "Defense News" that the United States needed to develop sophisticated weapons, mostly from China Rare Earth and China to strengthen management of rare earth exports will likely threaten the United States military capabilities. U.S. military, military industrial enterprises and energy exploration companies have been used as a reason to lobby the government and Congress to expand the exploitation of local rare earth resources.

Third, control of the initiative in the field of rare earth new materials. Currently, rare earth new materials in the field of intellectual property rights for the United States and Europe are the main control. But with the rapid development of China's rare earth industry in China in the field of R & D capabilities on the rise. U.S. experts have put forward, in order to lead the development of rare earth new materials in the field, the United States must be an appropriate increase in extraction and mining, processing to achieve greater technological breakthroughs.

Fourth, for the technological development of the industry ahead of the layout. America's current pace of economic growth has returned, some of the new technologies to achieve breakthrough innovation led by the economic boom in the United States may once again appear. Moment, information technology, biotechnology and other technologies of the future will be the United States focus of industrial development, and rare is the application of these technologies provides the important basic materials. U.S. Magnetic Materials Association reported that rare earth mining the main issues, namely, the high cost of mining is very difficult to extract, the second is environmental pollution, to large-scale mining of rare earth resources in the United States, need to establish a chain, but it will take time . To meet the great development of the technology industry, the United States need ahead of the layout, and establish a domestic rare earth supply chain.

U.S. exports of rare earths on Chinese management practices dissatisfaction and concerns have not been eliminated in China on the issue of rare earth put more pressure on China to relax Rare management measures. The Chinese may be necessary to protect resources and environment considerations, continue to adhere to the current rare earth mining and export management measures. In the rare earth issue, Sino-US new collision and friction will be inevitable.

Recently, there is news that the State Ministry of many ministries to jointly conduct nationwide Rare remediation work, the current regulation scheme has entered the stage countersigned by the various ministries. It is understood that this regulation is still rare to combat the "black" rare earth-based, but the "anti" scope and intensity will be more than in past years.

In May this year, the Ministry had proposed a "new round of rare earths to rectify." After this, the first to Ganzhou rare earth industry consolidation: to develop a "Ganzhou Rare Earth Mining order rectification and supervision special action program." Ganzhou Rare Earth industry for remediation has launched nationwide Rare remediation work to lay a critical foundation.

Investment Advisor in the metallurgical industry researcher Yuan Zhibin that since smelting and separation capacity higher than the national overall targets stipulated rare earth mining, once the private mine checked, some lack of resources smelting companies may be forced to stop separation, while some companies have likely to accept higher prices of other rare earth ore. Meanwhile, the rectification work carried out will also allow traders to hoard goods will gradually strengthened, conduction through the layers after the rare earth industry for the whole industry chain will also be presented in terms of price expectations.

Insiders expect this year with the Ministry of illegal mining of rare earth remediation efforts to further strengthen the relevant cut-off will probably be able to further increase the total amount, which is to eliminate unhealthy competition in the entire industry, the formation of a large group of rare earth and other aspects can play a certain effect.

"For listed companies, involved in mining business performance is expected to be substantially improved, and as the demand for the downstream industry chain has not yet appeared significantly improved, so this will result in not involving mining companies there is a big operating results uncertainty. "Yuan Zhibin representation.

MIIT vice minister Su Bo had previously noted that the large enterprise groups to effectively assume rational development and utilization of resources, environmental protection, leading rare earth industry transformation and upgrading of responsibility, completely changed the industry scattered, chaotic, and poor production patterns, improve the rare earth industry core competitiveness .
