December 7 , Zhejiang sixth academic report analyzing test was held in Hangzhou. The meeting by the Zhejiang large scientific instruments and analytical writing shared management office hosted Testing Association , Zhejiang Province , attracting industry experts , efficient, and many famous enterprises on behalf of more than 600 active participants , to discuss environmental monitoring , food safety, health and quarantine application and development of instruments and other fields . During the meeting, Sun Chaoyang from the Institute of Geology and Mineral Resources of Zhejiang Province as a " test method REE carbonate rocks " reports.

We know that the determination of rare earth elements for geological age, explain the causes of the demo minerals , diagenesis and mineralization of geochemical conditions , material sources , magma evolution provide useful information. As a geochemical study of rocks and minerals , " showing Chen agent" is widely used in the field of modern geological science , and REE and trace elements can help restore a variety of original rock characteristics determine the tectonic setting of its formation.

Spectrophotometry is commonly used test methods of rare earth elements , rare earth elements are widely used in various types of analysis and testing samples . With the continuous improvement of synthesis technology , many new chromogenic reagent REE be applied , although the sensitivity and selectivity spectrophotometry has been greatly improved , the stability has also been enhanced , but still can not meet the requirements of the detection limit difficult to achieve measured REE component . Although genetic spectrophotometric simultaneous realization of multi-component determination of rare earth , but to chemometrics , operate more complicated, in practical applications easily restricted. The biggest drawback XRF determination of rare earth elements is less than the detection limit , it is difficult to test geological samples used in the analysis of trace rare earth.

Inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectrometry (ICP-AES) has the advantage of a wide range of linear and multi-element determination , has become an important means of analysis of rare earth elements , but the direct determination of analytical sensitivity can not meet the requirements , then , there is more severe matrix effects , spectral interferences and other issues. Therefore, these methods have lost their superiority , unable to meet the current Analysis of Rare Earth testing requirements.

Finally Sun Chaoyang come Summary: Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry (ICP-MS) with high sensitivity , low detection limit , can be directly measured REE carbonate rocks . For some carbonate rocks, using hydrochloric acid, nitric acid, hydrofluoric acid, lactic acid, sulfuric acid decomposition easily lead portion of the heavy rare earth analysis of low sodium oxide should be melted decomposition. Since no suitable means of chemical separation of europium barium content will bring high sample error Jiaotong University , the exact exchange resin separation should be determined by barium or measured using high-resolution ICP-MS .

Advantages for the protection and rational utilization of resources , the " rare earth kingdom ," said the main origin of the world's rare earth ions in Ganzhou , Jiangxi introduction of such notice , sought by a number of measures to promote tungsten and orderly development of rare earth resources , sustainable use .

The State Council issued the " Opinions on Promoting the sustainable and healthy development of rare earth industry ," noted that the top three companies southern ionic rare earth industry concentration to 80 %, but since most of the rare earth resources in the hands of local governments and enterprises , at present, Southern ionic rare earth industry consolidation is still the main driving force is actually the local government .

In the new introduction of Ganzhou , " issued in 2011 on the city's tungsten , rare earth ore mined total control indicators notice " that the county district to strictly implement the tungsten ore, total rare earth mine control targets. Nanjing County continues discontinued, Gan County , Xinfeng principle discontinued - by the end of 2011 counties halted .

Meanwhile, the total amount required to strengthen urban counties control indicators of the implementation of the mining law enforcement .

In fact , a few months ago Ganzhou city's rare earth industry in depth unprecedented " revolution" , many mines have been shut down for rectification. The industry believes that the move will intensify in the second half of Ganzhou Rare Earth Resources tight supply situation to some extent .

Six ministries rectify rare earth production

Our great country is rare , reserves and production are among the first in the world .

Since last year, prices of many rare earth products rose yuan per ton day rate "rocket " up . According to data platform commodities business community on September 2 released data show that from the beginning to the end of August , some rare earth products rose more than 700 percent .

This year on July 25 , the Ministry and other six ministries jointly issued a notice , for no instruction production, ultra- command production , backward technology and not by environmental verification of rare earth mining enterprises , the requirements shall be discontinued, rectification, otherwise it will severely punish even hanging ( Note ) off the relevant license .

Most of Ganzhou Rare Earth Mining Discontinued

Ganzhou because they have more than 30% of the country 's heavy rare earth reserves , known as "rare earth kingdom ."

Local Ganzhou Rare Earth Resources , unified management by the Ganzhou Rare Earth Mining Company . The relevant responsible person said Ganzhou Mining will strictly implement the relevant notification , involving rare earth mine to suspend production areas . Ganzhou middle of a separation plant sources, Ganzhou mining has stopped for each mineral separation plant , only big business for individual mines .

Another private Ganzhou separation plant official told reporters , in fact, before the State Council issued the "Opinions" , Ganzhou Rare Earth Mining District, most has been discontinued, because production targets exhausted and environmental verification.

Australian rare earths explorer Arafura Resources Limited (Arafura, ASX: ARU) 12月11 date of disclosure and the Chinese rare earth industry leader in enterprise resource Sheng and "marriage ", the two sides have begun to try to work at the technical level ; Arafura with China strategic partnership side , expand marketing network processing system in order to optimize the cost structure of the relocation route operators gradually clear .

Arafura and September this year, Sheng and MOU (MOU), the proposed joint development of the Northern Territory 's flagship asset Nolan Bray (Nolans Bore) RE projects. Lockyer told shareholders that , with the signing of Sheng and resources is an important milestone in the development of the company , will bring a large number of long- and short-term real interest ; including optimization of technical processes , shorten the project to achieve commercial use , the reduction in capital expenditures and operating costs. Signed a memorandum of understanding is the first step , the two sides will form a long-term strategic partnership to develop a specific framework.

General Manager Arafura director Lockyer (Gavin Lockyer) yesterday said that since the signing of MOU, Sheng and its many Chinese rare earth processing specialist referrals , especially for important guidance in the processing and extraction of rare earths ; recently executed two sides work contract , the same work program cost far less than Australia. In addition, Sheng and also to the Arafura referrals from existing customers , brings many opportunities to project financing , expected future underwriting arrangements for carrying out the role of debt financing will gradually prominent.

Sheng and Arafura Resources wording and strategic progress in relations have been more conservative . Sheng today announced that the Arafura rare earth mines are actively promoting the work to which they belong and the feasibility study , such as processing and rare earth separation plant area. Given that the feasibility study , the two sides have not yet entered into any legally binding agreement. Tips and signed by the investors there are significant uncertainties of the matters MOU, drew the attention of investors to investment risks.

Arafura recently to reduce costs become operational focus. Due to the relatively weak external economic environment , the recent restructuring Arafura start by reviewing compensation programs , streamlining of redundant jobs , the implementation of short and long term incentive programs and other ways to cut costs , this year introduced a number of capital and operating cost savings plan. The large number of rare earth processing work transferred to China is an important measure to cut costs expenditures.

Lockyer disclose plans to build beneficiation field outside Australia, where instead of Nolan Bray Northern Territory , a move intended to take advantage of overseas chemical industrial zone in raw materials, chemical reagents and cost competitiveness of electricity supply , and conducive to the promotion of cooperation with potential underwriters , ultimately minimize downstream capex purposes .

In the global rare earths market outlook section , Lockyer said the recent discussion with a lot of potential customers and end users , the market for rare earth magnets can be felt (10% CARG) needs the most exuberant , this advantage is Nolan Bray project lies. Also widely used in automotive and refinery catalyst market lithium , cerium ore demand is also growing.

Notice that, as of the end of the third quarter, Arafura cash balances 29 million Australian dollars, at current levels of capital expenditure , it takes 3.5 million per quarter, the Australian dollar . Lockyer said the company has enough cash to advance the exploration and operational activities , the results of the feasibility study is expected to be released in the first half of next year . At the same time , will continue to maintain and enhance existing strategic partnerships in China and around the rest of the world in order to protect itself sufficient working capital.

Rare earth supply shortage situation in the corporate strategic layout to Australia

Arafura minority in 10 years, a world -class large reserves of rare earth projects pushed production stage companies . Nolan project in the Northern Territory of rare earth production is expected to meet 10% of global demand. In addition , due to the global supply is expected to remain scarce state Nolan include neodymium , europium, dysprosium, terbium , yttrium , including a variety of rare earth products will be considered " critical rare earth" , is expected to receive a huge shortage in global supply commercial interests.

Since 2009 , China 's major producer of rare earth industry consolidation and environmental governance, the world's rare earth supply diversification began to accelerate . However, the current foreign companies entering the production phase of molybdenum company only American and Australian rare earth mine crude saltpeter tyndareus tapas NC company (ASX: LYC) rare earth projects. From the size, composition , stage of development and mining life ( 22 years ) , the Nolan Bray project is to become the first three important goal of rare earth suppliers , production time has been tentatively scheduled for 2016 .

In fact, the attention of the Australian rare earth resources in China Enterprise unusual. Sino Finance Online database shows that in January of this year, Shandong Bureau of Geology and Mineral Exploration and Development (SDGM) and Australia TUC Resources (ASX: TUC) signed a memorandum of cooperation in the exploration and development joint venture intends TUC Northern Territory 8 heavy rare earth mineral rights lease , the two sides still in close negotiations stage ; Beijing cong Lin Group by Australian holding company Orion (ASX: ORM) and shareholding enterprises Northern Minerals (ASX: NTU) invested in a number of rare earth mining projects. In addition, the Arafura largest shareholder China East China Mineral Exploration and Development Bureau (ECE) and strategic investment in capital holdings are highlights concerns about Australia's rare earth resources .

Insiders pointed out that rare earth ore assets with outstanding long-term growth potential is a major reason to attract Chinese enterprises frequently shot . There are rare earth ore industry, " gold" , with excellent optical and electromagnetic physical properties can vary with other material properties, a wide variety of new materials , the most notable feature is the substantial increase in the quality and the performance of other products ; cutting-edge technology can be widely used in the field of military industry, metallurgy , petrochemical , electronics and aerospace industries , new materials manufacturing. As technology continues to progress and expand the field of clean energy , global demand for rare earth ore will remain strong ; rare category of demand as a key ingredient widely used in various industries magnets and phosphors are likely to be further strengthened.
