Ganzhou Rare Earth strengthen the development and utilization of integrated pilot, implementation supervision and management

In order to better promote the development and utilization of RE integrated pilot work, Ganzhou has recently introduced measures to further strengthen the supervision and management of the project implementation.

First, strengthen organization and leadership. Prospective evaluation of rare earth projects around the rare earth utilization projects, rare earth mine geological environment governance and large geological disaster prevention projects, supervise the implementation of the project implementation and technical support work, to further clarify the project location (county, city, district) people's government, the main project units, project implementation oversight group, Ganzhou rare Earth Mining Co., the division of responsibilities project technical support expert groups.

Second is to strengthen project management. Around the project budget and final accounts, capital assets, procurement and outsourcing of work put forward specific requirements. Adjust the project budget should be in accordance with the relevant provisions of the approval, the annual project task is completed, the project implementation of the main unit should prepare a project report on the accounts and by the implementation of the project to review by the Office of the Leading Group in accordance with relevant regulations. Project implementation unit should establish a special financial accounting, assurance earmarking. The project implementation process auxiliary work content required entrust other units assumed, must project implementation work leading group office for approval.

The third is to strengthen project oversight. Implement a monthly schedule, quarterly inspection, project management year-end assessment, requiring the pilot project implementation units work according to the annual overall goal of the task, project timing schedule to determine the period of the task, the monthly progress of the work, there is a problem and the next step implementation of the project work plan in writing to the Office of the Leading Group report, the Office of the Leading Group on the principle of scheduling will be held once a month to ensure the progress of the project. At the same time called for the strengthening project publicity, and people take the initiative to accept social supervision, strengthening oversight of construction, the implementation of technical guidance, strict inspection management, records management, improve the system, clear reporting matters and other matters important content.

What Does the Rare Earth Metal Market Urgently Need?

Today, Rockstone Research published a research update on the rare earth elements (REE) market highlighting Commerce Resources Corp. as its top pick in the REE space. Numerous other REE stocks are analyzed as well, whereas mining analyst Stephan Bogner comes to the conclusion that Commerce is leading the pack and that all other peers are lagging behind in terms of metallurgy, which is the crucial criteria of success.
 
Those REE deposits in development that have the greatest chances of success being developed into a mine, and thus, offering the highest share price appreciation potential no matter if REE prices remain low) are those that host a REE mineralization out of which a >30% TREO mineral concentrate can be produced with an industry standard process that makes economic sense.
 
Unfortunately for REE investors, today there exist not many undeveloped REE deposits hosting a mineralization out of which a high enough grade mineral concentrate can be produced, and easily processed, which would be saleable to global REE processors (also known as separation or refining facilities), and from which the numerous REE end-products, which are saleable to the industry, could be produced.
 
Thus, those few REE development companies capable of producing a >30% TREO mineral concentrate should (and will) be the focus of REE investors, if not already. According to our research only three active development companies have attained this base requirement.

Rare earth export volume drop in price rise will continue in Japan Rare Earth Game

According to customs statistics, in the first half of 6835 tons of rare earth exports Tianjin Port, over the previous year (the same below) increased 34.6%; worth 410 million yuan, down 18.4%; average export price of 60,000 yuan per ton, down 39.4%.

A first half of the main features of Tianjin Port exports of rare earths

(A) general trade export-oriented. Tianjin Port in the first half of the general trade export of rare earth 6,788 tons, an increase of 34% over the same period accounted for 99.3 percent of total exports of rare earths in Tianjin Port.

(B) State-owned enterprises as the main export of private enterprises is growing rapidly. First half of the state-owned enterprises in Tianjin Port 3868 tons of rare earth exports, increased 42.6 percent, accounting for 56.6% of total exports over the same period China's rare earth.

(Three) are mainly exported to the United States and Japan. The first half of this year, exports of rare earths to the United States in Tianjin Port 3030 tons, an increase of 30%; exports to Japan 2,596 tons, an increase of 93.4%. Both together accounted for 82.3% over the same period in Tianjin Port's total exports of rare earths.

Second, the recent drop in price of Tianjin Port mainly due to increase in volume of rare earth exports

(A) high-tech fields of rare earth rare earth materials to popularize drive demand growth. RE is an important strategic resource, the "industrial MSG", "mother of the new material," said the high-tech industry advanced equipment manufacturing, new energy, new industries and other essential raw materials. With the rapid growth of the world's new energy and environmental protection industry, the demand for rare earth products also showed a significant upward trend. As the world's major economies economy recovers, demand for rare earth products in the application of hybrid vehicles, wind turbines and energy-saving lamps and other environmentally friendly products will continue to pick up, and a substantial increase, while rare earth products play a role in environmental technology will also be more important, the demand for increasingly strong. In the upgrading of traditional automobile industries, the core components of electric vehicles - motor vehicle will also be a large number of application of rare earth materials. With the new energy vehicle development triggered a new round of industrial restructuring, will drive the rapid development of rare earth functional materials. China's rare earth production accounts for 95% of world production, strong demand for rare earth high-tech fields, resulting in China's rare earth exports continued to increase.

(B) the price of domestic disorderly exploitation and lack of voice of rare earth export prices led to lower long-term operation. On the one hand, as the first rare earth producer and exporter countries, the development of China's rare earth market is very confusing. Since the 1980s, China began large-scale mining and processing of rare earth, many illegal mining enterprises, competing prices down resulting in domestic rare earth mining serious excess capacity, causing serious waste of resources and ecological damage. Domestic disorderly competition makes it the "industrial gold," said rare earth prices continue to fall. On the other hand the lack of rare earth industry price discourse leading to the decline in exports. As a major importer of rare earth in Japan and other countries already have 20 years of rare earth reserves; has the largest rare earth resources in Western countries the United States, a large number of rare earth resources in order to protect their sealed mines, banned exports of rare earths. Western countries for the protection of rare earth resources, these countries had no resources instead have a rare earth pricing, especially neodymium oxide, terbium oxide, dysprosium, europium oxide price has long been controlled by foreign businessmen, foreign traders in low purchase a large amount of rare earth product prices, then stop when prices purchase, use inventory, to be re-purchased when prices again. Above lead to the sale of domestic companies competing prices, resulting in China's rare earth export prices have been low.

Third, issues of concern

(A) containing rare earth mining risks, short-term difficult to achieve cleaner production. February 13, 2014, the Ministry issued "on the issuance of the rare earth industry clean production technology to implement the program," which clearly called for speeding up key sectors of advanced clean production technology and marketing, improve the industry clean production level, dramatically reducing pollutant emissions, and the states of cleaner production technologies as energy saving, clean production, recycling economy and other financial guidance financial support focus. This means that countries improve the production capacity of rare earth industry norms and safe and clean production requirements. At present, China Southern ionic heavy rare earth mine commonly used in situ leaching process development of rare earth, easy to destroy mine geological structure, triggering landslides. Meanwhile, due to flawed mine design, part of the chemicals used in the extraction of rare earth leakage risks also exist during the process of recycling used in high-risk chemicals also increase the risk of personnel and increased environmental damage. Although the state and environmental indicators using hair under quota constraints and norms, but because of a lack of financial and technical support enterprises to realize clean production of short-term difficult to achieve.

(B) the downstream application industries concentrated in the low end, the lack of core competitiveness. At present, China's rare earth industry 85% for the traditional areas of metallurgy, machinery, petrochemical, glass, ceramics, etc., only 13% for the high-tech field of new materials, and the highest value-added products in the terminal application, almost mastered the core technology in the hands of foreign companies. Due to the enormous profit potential of rare earth industry, the United States and other developed countries at the same time holding the price of the right to speak, but also clenched authorize its patented technology of rare earth products, restricting the transfer and development of high-end chain. In NdFeB example, belong to the rare earth NdFeB high-end materials, and a wide range of applications. NdFeB our country has nearly 200 enterprises, the annual output reached 1,000 tons, more than 20, but currently uses only Japanese NdFeB Boeing aircraft. Due to the lack of intellectual property rights, China's only mining, smelting and separation of rare earth primary products, not only low value-added, the bargaining space is small and serious environmental pollution; imported from developed countries after deep processing of primary products, prices and profits to grow geometrically. Due to the application of domestic enterprises lack the core technology, so China's rare earth export of rare earth primary products always difficult to break the pattern.

(C) tightening of rare earth exports of rare earths in the game will continue. While China's rare earth reserves, the largest scale, and is the world's largest producer and exporter, but we have no voice and pricing in the global market. With the growing awareness of the importance of rare earth, China since 2006 has gradually decreased since exports of rare earths and slashed rare earth export volume this year, which triggered a rare battle, especially from imports of rare earths from our country, including United States and Japan. Japan chose open conflict with our problems in terms of rare earths, and also looking for strategic partners to ensure the supply of rare earth, rare earth elements and to seek alternatives. Currently, the Japanese government decided to cooperate with Vietnam to develop rare earth resources in order to get rid of excessive dependence on imports of rare earth in China. Japan, as the rare earth materials using the most adequate national, rare earths are widely used in computers, mobile phones and low carbon automotive and other fields, China's rare earth exports to Japan to tighten the pressure greater. While Japan actively seeking other sources to reduce dependence on China, but China is a rare superpower, the impact on Japan is still significant, the Japanese rare game will continue.

Uses of Rare Earth Magnets

Rare earth magnets are made out of rare earth elements or alloys. These are not rare in the real sense of the term. These are made from elements that are from the "rare earth" group. These became widely popular during the 70's and 80's. Earth magnets are regarded to be much stronger than the other magnetizers that are made of ferrite and alnico. These are thus capable of being used for a longer duration of time.
 
Earth magnets are widely popular as these are the preferred choice of many industries. Some of the most common applications of the same can be seen in computer bicycle dynamos, hard drives, audio speakers, and fishing reel brakes. Few other applications where this is used include diamagnetic levitation experiments, stop motion animations, wind turbines and roller coasters.
 
There are two categories of earth magnets - Samarium cobalt and Neodymium. The first one is the very first type of earth magnet that was developed. These cost more and are weaker in strength than the second type of magnet. This is why these have not been manufactured in large scale industries. It has a high curie temperature that ensures that its magnetic properties stay intact. It is used for manufacturing high speed motors and in different kinds of equipments. It also finds its use in the manufacture of some musical instruments.
 
Neodymium magnet is also referred to as NdFeB, Neo and NIB. It is a permanent element that was discovered in the 80's. Made of an alloy of iron, neodymium and boron, it is a strong magnet. It has a very high magnetic field strength and has a number of uses. As these are cheaper it finds its use in many different industries. It is used in the manufacturing of synchronous, stepper and spindle motors. It is also used for making couplings and bearings. Resonance imaging is another area where it is used.
 
These are 1.5 to 3 times stronger than the usual refrigerator magnets. These are available in a range of shapes and sizes. There are cylinder shaped, disk shaped, ring shaped and many other shapes to choose from. If used properly these magnets would serve a lifetime. These are much more powerful than the other horseshoe magnets that can be found in the market.
 
This is the most widely used rare earth magnet. Affordable and strong these do not lose their magnetism easily and can last for long. The magnets can be customized to suit individual needs. Customizing is easy and it is not at all costly to get the magnets personalized by the manufacturer.
 
Rare earth magnets are being increasingly used in children's toys as well. As these are much cheaper and less bulky, manufacturing companies prefer using these in children’s products.

Chinese Investors Look for Rare Earth Metals in Greece

The Greek subsoil and its rare earth metals have attracted the interest of Chinese investors. On the occasion of the ERES international conference hosted in Greece from September 4 to 7, a delegation from China, which is considered the absolute leader in the earth metals field, visited Greece.
 
It is estimated that 17 valuable minerals associated to the high-tech industry are present in Greece. The majority lies in the underwater area of ​​the northern Aegean Sea and in Thrace.
 
Indications of rare minerals appear in the areas of Rhodope, Thessaloniki, Chios, Kilkis, and in the coastal and underwater area of Strymonikos Bay, and bauxites on the Greek mainland.
 
These earth metals can be used as catalytic automobile converters, in petroleum refining, in TVs, mobile phones, portable DVDs, laptops, rechargeable batteries in hybrid and electric cars,  wind turbine generators, medical devices, photovoltaic systems, missile defense satellites and many more.
 
European geologists claim that Greece, along with Sweden, Finland, Norway and Denmark, have rare earth metal and mineral reserves, and should be used to save Europe’s car and electronics industries from uncertain imports.

Rare Earth Elements: Discovery and Early History

Rare earth elements are seventeen in number according to the periodic table. However, the word “rare” is not to be taken in a literal sense as most of these elements are readily available in the earth’s crust, and they are present in significant quantity. However, the reason the term rare is used is because the areas in which these elements are present can’t be easily extracted due to the unfavorable economic conditions of these areas. In this article, we will be looking at the discovery and the early history of these elements through the following 7 points.
 
1. The periodic table was not always in the position in which we see it today, as more elements were discovered they were added accordingly. The first time scientists came across the idea of rare elements was after the discovery of ytterbite, which was later renamed as gadolinite.
 
2. Ytterbite was then sent off to the University of Turku for an in depth examination. There, the professor after processing the element through different procedures was able to extract an oxide but was not able to place a specific identity to it. Also, no other elements were separated that are used to form the rare element in combination.
 
3. Later in 1803, a couple of scientists in an independent study discovered a white oxide, which they named as ceria. At the same time, another scientist named Martin Klaproth discovered the same element and gave it a different name, ochroia.
 
4. By this time, people were familiarized with the idea of rare elements. However, for nearly thirty years no other rare elements were discovered by scientists.
 
5. Later, more rare elements were found, from the same layers of the crust from which the first two rare elements had been discovered.
 
6. In the same period of scientific history, the famous Lanthana surfaced. This discovery was credited to Carl Mosander who separated ceria through heating the nitrate and then dissolving the resulting product in nitric acid. This process produced a raw form of Lanthana. It wasn’t for another three years after that time until pure Lanthana and didymia, both versions of the rare earth element, were discovered.
 
7. From here on forward, the discovery of rare elements picked up speed. A number of rare earth elements were discovered. It was by 1842 that the majority of the minerals were known to the people working in the field. At first this element was used for pure scientific reasons only, mostly for research in universities. However, with time, scientists discovered a number of other beneficial uses for these elements. They covered a huge base, from being used in making different parts in the aviation machinery industry to being used in a number of medical treatments that benefit humans. One example is the use of Lanthana in medicine for the renal failure.

Foreign resources to support Japan's rare earth imports or loose

Indian Prime Minister Modi during the recent visit to Japan for the Japanese enterprises to mine rare earth minerals in India gave the green light. Exploitation of India to resolve 15 percent of Japan's rare earth rare earth needs. Now nearly 90 percent of the rare earths, Japan needs to import from China. Keith Tanuo Fu stressed by China's rare earth export restrictions bitter fight to get rare earths in Japanese wherever possible.

He said: & ldquo; Japan had suffered in China. 2010 due to the East China Sea incident China stopped exports to Japan of rare earth. It is playing in Japan & lsquo; chest nest & rsquo ;. Japan will soon start in the world & mdash; & mdash; Africa, Latin America and Asia to look for other sources of rare earths. Also deep seabed looking for. Now again tentacles in India and Malaysia. & rdquo;

If the success of the project in Malaysia, to 2018 in Japan than China can ensure that 60 percent of rare earth sources. But cooperation with Malaysia accompanied by high risk, often broke environmental pollution scandal, for example, Malaysia Green who oppose Australian company, funded by Japan Lenas rare earth production plant in Malaysia. Due to serious pollution problems, Malaysia in 1992 closed the Japanese-funded rare earth processing plant. After 15 consecutive years in Japan for compensation for environmental pollution.

It is worth noting that China reducing rare earth mining, reduce export quotas, but also because of pollution problems. But the WTO does not recognize China this argument. This spring the WTO accusing China of raw materials in violation of trade rules. Japan jointly with the United States and the European Union had sued the Chinese. China promised to give the corresponding conclusions, but have had no reports of rare earth export quota increase. Keith Tanuo Fu believes that the Japanese expressed concern.

He said: & ldquo; course, Japan must therefore give yourself the insurance. Regardless of how the WTO decision making, when the situation is serious, it was too late. High-tech industry needs rare earths. However, the future trend is difficult to predict how the Japan-China relations. It is constantly being intensified stage. If held in November during the APEC summit in Beijing, the organization can succeed Shinzo Abe and Xi Jinping meeting, which will ease the Sino-Japanese relations to some extent. I have no doubt that the meeting will be held. Chinese people do not refuse to meet in Japan. China does not want to hold the APEC summit for the first time, let it accompany scandal. However, there may be only two leaders met mere formality. & rdquo;

In order to reduce dependence on China, Japan, the state-owned oil and gas company metallic minerals (JOGMEC) invested $ 700 million in Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan, Turkmenistan, Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan rare earth exploration. But Chinese companies have operations in these countries. Visible, Japan in foreign markets also suffered China's rare earth strong influence.

Pioneering the development of downstream applications is the focus of Rare Earth

China's rare earth supply exceeds demand, the heavy rare earth yttrium surplus each year more than 10,000 tons, light rare earth lanthanum, cerium surplus of more than 50,000 tons per year. & ldquo; pioneering application development direction of China's rare earth lanthanum, cerium, yttrium end-use markets, reduce inventory, yes. & rdquo; at the recently held Sixth China Baotou Rare Earth Industry Forum, experts said.

Light rare earth lanthanum, cerium production accounts for about 70 percent of China's rare earth production. Since late last year, rare earth prices continued to fall, lanthanum, cerium, yttrium oxide prices fell 40%. If the application does not solve the problem of lanthanum, cerium, yttrium, and will affect the development of the rare earth industry. China Rare Earth Industry Association Deputy Secretary-General Wang Rail said: & ldquo; lanthanum, cerium element of the application does not open, or that marketing does not open, praseodymium, neodymium, will also be affected, neodymium prices would become unstable, and therefore must be addressed lanthanum, cerium application problems. & rdquo;

The development of China's rare earth industry has experienced a breakthrough smelting and separation technology, a breakthrough technology, rare earth new materials production stage, it is now entering a high level of use of rare earth materials terminal stage of industrialization integration technology. Compared with mature praseodymium, neodymium metal market, lanthanum, cerium applications and price far behind. Insiders said: & ldquo; praseodymium, neodymium metal prices are more than 30 yuan / ton, lanthanum, cerium price should be 70,000 yuan / ton to 80,000 yuan / ton. Currently, praseodymium, neodymium metal sales was better because praseodymium, neodymium final downstream products than lanthanum, cerium higher end. & rdquo;

State Key Laboratory of Rare Earth Resources Vice Ren Mengjian think: & ldquo; lanthanum, cerium has a strong catalytic effect, you can put atmospheric emissions of sulfur and nitrogen oxides after catalytic into harmless substances. Applied to magnesium alloys, lanthanum, cerium can play a very good corrosion resistance and enhance the role of liquidity, the size of each year may be to use a dozen or even several million tons. & rdquo;

Zhang Zhong, general manager of Baotou Steel Rare Earth, said in addition to solving lanthanum, cerium, yttrium application problems in the new energy vehicles, the Baotou Rare Earth is also actively involved in the application of lanthanum, cerium more environmentally friendly projects. & ldquo; For example, smoke treatment, gas treatment, water treatment developed rapidly these years. We have recently carried out jointly with the petrochemical companies catalyst research and development projects, including soot denitration treatment. The main elements of these environmental projects using a lanthanum and cerium. & rdquo; he said.

China Rare Earth Export Jumps 31% in August

Chinese companies exported 2,353 tonnes of rare earths last month, nearly 31 percent more than the previous month, new customs data showed on Sep.8th. 
 
China's rare earth exports fell to 1,556 tonnes in June, the lowest level of this year, according to the General Administration of Customs (GAC). 
 
For the first eight months, exports rose 35 percent year-on-year to 18,252 tonnes. In value terms, however, exports contracted 7.9 percent from a year earlier to 261.6 million U.S. dollars owing to falling prices. 
 
Export till the end of last month was nearly 60 percent of the full-year quota of 30,610 tonnes, shared by 28 production and circulation enterprises. 
 
Rare earths, a class of 17 mineral elements, are some of the most sought after metals due to their vital role in green technologies like wind turbines and car batteries as well as in military sectors. 
 
With its rare earth reserves accounting for 23 percent of the global total, China supplies over 90 percent of the world's market demand at the cost of much pollution. 
 
To curb environmental degradation and protect resources, China has set output ceilings, export quotas and stricter emissions standards as well as high resource taxes for some ores. 
 
In the previous two years, companies had failed to use their full annual export quotas. 
 
In 2013, China exported 22,493 tonnes of rare earths, up 38.3 percent from 2012. But it was well below the full-year export quota of 31,001 tonnes. In 2012, exports at 16,265 tonnes, just over the half of the full-year quota. 
 
Early last month, the World Trade Organization ruled that China's export duties, quotas, and administration of rare earths, tungsten and molybdenum products were inconsistent with WTO rules and China's Accession Protocol. 
 
In March 2012, the European Union, Japan and the United States teamed up to bring a joint case to the WTO over China's measures on exports of rare earths, tungsten and molybdenum. 
 
They claimed that the restriction had limited other countries' access to the minerals, given China a competitive advantage and hurt other producers and consumers.
