Japan's four rare earth trying to beg seeking cooperation with Russia

Japan from the United Nations International Seabed Authority to obtain a high seas in the Pacific seabed mining of rare earth exploration rights agency , in the next 15 years, located in Tokyo about 2000 kilometers southeast of Bird Island near the south , an area of ​​3000 square kilometers of seabed area for exploration and exploitation .

Exploration Team Leader , Tokyo University professor Yasuhiro Kato (YasuhiroKato) pointed out that , according to the preliminary findings , the mine 's metal reserves is even higher than expected . However, when there is no clear Japanese mining of rare earth metals can potentially become a reality .

Over the past few years, Japan has invested in mining and production of precious metals in Kazakhstan and Kazakhstan斯捷普诺戈尔Minsk City built rare earth joint venture production plant. In addition , in order to find alternative raw materials of rare earth metals , Japan is considering including cell phones and computers , including the use of waste electronic products as a renewable raw material.

Japan is doing everything possible to reduce the rare earth production areas in monopolistic China 's dependence. One-third of the world's rare earth reserves China currently supplies 90% of global market. Rare earth metals main importing countries are Japan, the U.S. and the EU. For this reason, in 2009 China significantly reduce the production and export of rare earth , causing prices to rise and the main importing countries of discontent. Intensification of territorial disputes with China in the context of Japan was particularly passive .

At the same time , the Russian state-owned enterprises and private enterprises PocTex ICT Group has announced plans to mine rare earth deposits in Yakutia Republic , the Republic of Yakutia Thom Thor prepared to invest billions of dollars in mining . The mine is considered to be the world's largest deposits of rare earths , proven reserves of 1.54 billion tons of ore containing yttrium, niobium oxide , scandium, terbium , and other rare earth elements.

ICT Group spokesman Vlad ? Vail efavirenz said: "Now is not only Japan but the whole world is concerned about ensuring their own supply of rare earth metals . We do not have any in Yakutia collaborative projects , but as a consumer market , all manufacturers interested in Japan . we decided to make mining of rare earth metals is geared towards the future not only hopes to export , but also take into account the Russian industry will increase the demand for rare earth metals . mineral properties may help to improve its competitiveness . "

According to experts estimates, including Chinese experts , China 's reserves of rare earth materials are not inexhaustible . And those who have their own resources in order to preserve and protect the ecological environment of rare earth mining freeze countries are re-examine their policies . 5-7 years later, if all goes well , Russia will be able to exactly rare earth production to meet market demand .
