Today, rare earth market is relatively calm, the market prices were little changed. Waste magnetic weekend there was a substantial rise in prices. Monday market price adjustment is not much, some suppliers still insist on the weekend quoted represents and reflects the recent market transactions is not good, merchants do not ship. Praseodymium and neodymium oxide prices were unchanged last week. There Baotou manufacturers now reflect newspaper expensive lot, but does not ship did also traded much. Type of market dysprosium oxide, dysprosium market price at 2.35 million yuan / ton, dysprosium iron market with votes 2,450,000 yuan / ton.

Erbium oxide market price fluctuations for nearly a week, with ticket prices now 34,35 yuan / ton or so, there is a slight increase in business last week lowered its offer, the mainstream market prices stable. Lanthanum, cerium market prices remain unchanged from last week, 3N around oxide yet than 30,000 yuan / ton mark, always at 2.7, 2.8 yuan / ton or so. Battery grade mixed rare earth prices rise, the current market price of 145,000 yuan with votes / ton, slightly higher than last week's price 10,000 yuan / ton.

Magnetic scrap market, recent market transactions are reflected in many it is difficult to get the goods, here are more bullish retail goods not. Weekend so far and the Waste Electrical and magnetic scrap prices rose significantly. Magnetic scrap market today, the basic price of the main areas receiving short strips 106-110 yuan / kg, long 116-120 yuan / kg, tiles 136-140 yuan / kg. The price is higher than the price of the weekend significantly increased 3-4 dollars / kg. Waste Electrical and prices have increased slightly, the current price of 86,87 brushless yuan / month, reflecting a market trader in Zhejiang province 88 yuan / month offer. Brush motor scrap prices in the 133-143 yuan / month or so. Weekend Market traded a certain amount, but the small number of traders have shipped reflected now still retains a certain amount of inventory on the market stay on the sidelines, temporarily not continue to ship, not a clearing.

Reporters from the just-concluded "the Seventh International Symposium on Rare Earth Development and Application of the second session of China Rare Earth Summit" has learned that concern RE litigation may result in the formation before the end of this year. From the Chinese Rare Earth Society and the Chinese Society of Rare Earths stakeholders have indicated a greater chance of losing China, Chinese rare earth export policy faces major changes.

"Unsuccessful outcome is Chinese rare earth quotas cancellation policy, open the supply of rare earths, the government can not constrain the export business behavior." One yuan has been involved in the matter experts told reporters that the past experience shows that companies competing prices is inevitable.

Meanwhile, the uncontrolled expansion of domestic production capacity of rare earth, rare earth application of collective weakness, so this has been widely favored industry in recession, the industry had been high hopes for the domestic market is also a two-year price "roller coaster" gradually shrinking .

In the August 11 meeting of Ganzhou Rare Earth, in addition to industry analysis, how to control excess capacity to become one of the most important issues, the background is still kept in secret rare earth litigation. First proposed in 2009, the EU had asked China to lift the rare metal products export quota system; 2010 United States, Mexico and other countries WTO ED also submitted memorandum demanding that the Chinese rare earth export quota system canceled; 2012 U.S., EU official in the WTO China's rare earth export quota system proceedings.

It is understood, Ganzhou Rare Earth conference shortly before the Chinese Society of Rare Earths relevant agencies should be required to provide to the WTO once material. Experts said that the elimination of export quotas for the possible impact, has begun to assess the worst case back to the old way, foreign companies took orders to the domestic enterprises to seek to find a quote, attracted companies competing underselling, "rare earth The price may have to return to 'cabbage price'. "

China Rare Earth Association Deputy Secretary-General Chen Zhanheng said, now is oversupply, the annual quota of 30,000 tons, the actual sales 10,000 tons, it is in terms of supply and demand will be no major changes, "if the elimination of quotas, tariffs have come down smuggling does not make sense. "

One can not ignore the background, the current domestic rare earth separation smelting capacity has been severely surplus. Ganzhou Rare Earth Group Qiandong Gong Bin, chairman and managing director, told reporters that the current separation of the South ionic rare earth smelting capacity has exceeded 100,000 tons, and as the boss of the Southern Rare Earth Jiangxi in 2013 the first batch of 3,950 tons production target .

"We have a plant capacity is twenty-three one hundred tons, but give only a few dozen tons of indicators, there is enough to eat." One yuan Jiangxi separate company official told reporters, "hungry" is a universal phenomenon, very hungry they would buy the black ore, "Now is not strict practiced invoices, black mine a lot, so much could not have been separated smelting capacity idle."

According to the China Rare Earth Industry Association, introduced the Secretary-General Ma Rongzhang Southern separated ion ore smelting enterprises to obtain more than 70% of unknown origin. According to statistics, China's rare earth more than 200,000 tons, the actual annual production capacity of 15 to 18 million tons, while the actual global annual demand of 13 million tons, China's demand of about 100,000 tons.

Chinese Society of Rare Earths expert who requested anonymity told reporters that although the pattern of rare earth supply diversification trends are becoming evident, "but if the abolition of quotas and tariffs, China rare earth prices will plummet, topple other countries may again rare earth production line. "

A year ago, the reporter had learned that national administrations organize expert-level discussions, assessment of rare earth export quotas after the abolition of the impact of policy, in the long term rare earth export quotas is the general direction, but the premise is to make domestic production order straightened out, to avoid confusion after the opening.

Bin Gong that rare earth production capacity from the south point of view, the central enterprises and local state-owned holding separate production capacity has reached 78.5 percent, close to the national requirements of large enterprise groups control 80 percent of the south separating capacity requirements.

"But now the 80% is an enlarged version, is not consistent with the original intention of the State Council, if the unlimited expansion of production capacity, control useless, is a waste." The expert said.

Officials from the Ministry of Commerce, said the earth is still kept in secret proceedings, can not be made public. However, the officials said, to solve the rare earth export problems of excess capacity and not simply expect the government's policy, the industry itself needs discipline.

According to China Rare Earth Industry Association statistics, in 2012 the output of these three were Applied Materials fell significantly, magnetic yield 78,000 tons, 04,500 tons luminescent materials, hydrogen storage materials, 08,200 tons, down 11.9%, respectively, 43.8% 34.4%, while in the field of non-mainstream applications catalyst "slightly."
China Rare Earth Industry Association of rare earth price index compiled by the December 2012 of 234.1 points down to 3 July 2013 of 153.8 points, down 52.2%, then rebounded to 5 August, up 19.6%.

However, Ma Rongzhang still said that despite the recent praseodymium, neodymium, terbium, dysprosium, europium prices rise up to 100%, but can not make up the shrinking market.

Beijing Nonferrous Metal Research Institute Zhuang Weidong rare earth luminescent materials expert, told reporters that now, in addition to downstream applications of rare earth magnetic material relative prosperity, the light-emitting materials, hydrogen storage materials are very depressed, "LED light-emitting material by a big impact, lithium hydrogen storage materials are facing the squeeze. "Zhuang Weidong said, LED and lithium battery industry growth rate than originally predicted to be fast.

However, the relative prosperity of the magnetic field is currently facing Japan's patented extrusion. Japan's Hitachi Metals official website announced that its global total of more than 600 applications NdFeB, where more than 100 applications in the United States, in China in the year 2000 did not start the application to be published recently by some media quoted insiders as saying that up to 320 number. The Hitachi Metals announced this year in addition to already authorized Zhong Ke San Huan, Ningbo Yunsheng, Beijing Beijing and magnetic eight enterprises, no longer licensed to other Chinese enterprises. 2012 Hitachi Metals has been requested in the United States on Chinese enterprises, "337", the final Chinese enterprises to pay to obtain patents pending.

It is reported by patents squeeze some Chinese companies are organized resistance, more than a dozen medium-sized rare earth neodymium formed a business alliance companies, each contributed $ 1.5 million to prepare the United States to prosecute Hitachi Metals.

Ma Rongzhang in Ganzhou Rare proposed to open up new fields of application, such as Chinese surplus every year 30,000 to 50,000 tons of lanthanum, cerium rare earth, rare earth catalyst, if the market is likely to open, you can partially digested these surplus products.

But from Japan Hirosaki University Faculty of Humanities, Professor Dr. Huang Xiaochun pointed out that from the 1970s to date, there have been no applications of rare earth revolutionary technological breakthrough, which reduces the explosive growth in demand for rare earth application possibilities, he believes now weak overseas demand for rare earths, partly because rare earth prices curbed demand, on the other hand is also a technical bottleneck caused by natural decrease.

In the context of weak downstream, China's rare earth raw material supply position was again seriously. Since the 1990s, the United States molybdenum company's rare earth production line closed, China in the world's rare earth supply ratio has been stable at 90%, while according to the U.S. Geological Survey's survey, China's rare earth reserves of the world's total reserves of 36% and continued to decline.

2009, due to China's rare earth industry consolidation and environmental management, the world began to accelerate rare earth supply diversification. According to the U.S. TMR company tracking research, in recent years the United States, Canada, Australia, India, Brazil, Vietnam, Mongolia, South Africa, Russia and other 37 countries, 261 companies engaged in 429 rare items. But the vast majority of which are still in the exploration stage, due to rare earth prices fall, the progress of these projects are subject to different degrees.

European Rare Earth Industry Association, Ban hereby established, said: "Many countries have rare earth, rare earth to be used in the local production of rare earths is reasonable, a local resource should not always be 'trek' everywhere transported."

It is understood that confidence to the outside world mainly U.S. crude saltpeter tyndareus tapas molybdenum company's rare earth minerals and rare earths project in Australia Reiner's, both recently will increase the supply of light rare earths, forward will involve heavy rare earths.

From the United States Geological Survey, Dr. Xie Peijun told reporters, molybdenum company in 2012 has begun to contract the supply of light rare earth enterprises.

"By contrast, they found that in 2013 the global market for rare earths supply shortages may occur, however, after 2014 will have to reverse this situation. Consumer providers can supply pipeline from the diversification seek some comfort, the proportion of rare earth production being Western increase. "British Metal Business Network CEO Nigel Fontana said.

National Development and Reform Commission of the original rare earth group of experts, China Enfi Engineering professor-level engineers had proposed should China Tianyuan of the world supply of rare earth set at 70%, both to stabilize China's industry, but also to meet the needs of the world, "70 % of the amount of foreign rare earth enterprises in favor of its reasonable price, promotion of rare earth market is relatively stable. "

China Rare Earth Industry Association Secretary-General Ma Rongzhang at the Seventh International Symposium on Rare Earth Development and Application of the second session of China Rare Earth Summit revealed, PetroChina, Sinopec, CNOOC hope and rare earth industry, the midstream establish long-term strategic partnership to enhance lanthanum, cerium in the petroleum cracking catalysts in the content.

"Three barrels of oil" Improving lanthanum cerium in the amount of oil catalytic cracking agent, on the middle reaches of the rare earth industry is a great good. Insiders said that at present, China's rare earth industry overcapacity situation rendered increasingly prominent, businesses large losses, operating rate of less than 30%, especially lanthanum, cerium and other elements of an annual surplus of excess 3-5 tons.

According to the China Securities Journal reporter, the current A-share listed companies Sheng and Xiamen Tungsten resources and intends to enter the field of rare earth catalysts.

Lanthanum cerium surplus will intensify

"A substantial increase in production capacity, rampant illegal enterprises, coupled with weaker demand at home and abroad, multiple factors have contributed to the domestic rare earth product prices fall, production and operation of the deteriorating situation." A company official said rare earths.

About our existing more than 120 rare earth enterprises, annual production capacity of rare earth oxide equivalent of up to 320,000 tons, coupled with foreign enterprises device production, market supply far exceeds about 12 million tons per year of total world demand.

The latest global rare earth industry research data show that there are nearly 40 foreign countries, more than 200 companies planning more than 500 rare earth projects, which the United States, Australia, Brazil, Canada, Kyrgyzstan and other 15 countries, more than 40 Rare Earth project progress rapidly. After 2015, only the United States and Australia rare earth companies to meet global market demand outside China.

"At present, lanthanum, cerium surplus 30,000-50,000 tons per year, foreign rare earth project put into operation, lanthanum, cerium and more will exacerbate the oversupply situation." Rare-Earth general manager Zhang expressed.

Statistics show that U.S. rare earth rare earth catalytic materials accounted for 57.6% of the total volume, while China is about 15%. Insiders pointed out that the high price of rare earth rare earth prompted users to find alternative products and alternative technologies, dramatically reduced the demand for rare earth products, but also reduces the dependence on rare earth production, which is caused by the rare earth industry overcapacity main reason.

Forced saving and environmental protection

Marong Zhang said that China needs to use 18-20 million tons of oil annually cracking catalyst, according to internationally accepted petroleum cracking catalysts lanthanum, cerium content of 4% -6% of the standard, an annual lanthanum, cerium amount of about 0.8-1.2 tons. However, due to soaring prices of rare earth in 2011, China's petroleum cracking catalysts lanthanum, cerium amount greatly reduced, resulting in high PM2.5. Accompanies the implementation of Euro V standards of refined oil, "three barrels of oil" need to re-raise lanthanum, cerium in the amount of oil catalytic cracking agent, which is rare on the middle reaches of great good.

Currently, petroleum cracking catalyst zeolite is used in catalytic material earth. Industry experts said the use of rare earth in the petroleum industry for petroleum cracking catalyst zeolite catalysts, can greatly improve the conversion rate of the cracking of crude oil to increase the yield of gasoline and diesel fuel. In actual use, the crude oil conversion rate of 35% to 40% to 70% to 80%, gasoline yield increased by 7% to 13%. The use of rare earth catalytic cracking zeolite catalysts for oil, with crude oil processing capacity, light oil yield, product quality, high activity, coke rate, catalyst, low loss, good selectivity.

Experts predict that by 2015 to 2020, China's crude oil processing capacity will remain at 500 million tons more than the size, the amount of rare earth cracking catalysts will exceed 10,000 tons. In addition, with the fuel cell, natural gas catalytic combustion, pollution control, air purification and other fields demand for rare earth catalytic materials increased significantly in 2015 -2020, China's total consumption of rare earth catalytic materials demand will be more than 17,000 tons.

At present, China's large-scale enterprises in petroleum cracking catalysts Catalyst Company, Sinopec, PetroChina Lanzhou catalytic companies, Leshan profits and so on. Rare Class A-share listed companies, only Sheng and Xiamen Tungsten resources and intends to enter the field of rare earth catalysts.

Sheng Huang Hou Bing and resources secretaries said that at present, the company's profits and also in the production of rare earth catalysts commissioning and market development stage, the company plans to increase investment 15 million yuan, to be completed after acceptance of a formal environmental production, and ultimately the formation of sales.

Late July to early August continuous rain, the small peak upstream of the reservoir into the illegal exploitation of rare earth wastewater reservoir, causing serious pollution of the reservoir is caused fish cage culture in reservoirs sudden mass death. The Lung Fu Fangchenggang in Guangxi rural small peak reservoir is Fangchenggang source of drinking water for hundreds of thousands.

Guangxi Fangchenggang City-City small peak reservoir cage farmers Chenshi Wu said, the morning of August 1, and as usual he came home in the reservoir of the growth of the fish cages view and found that the color of the water around the cage into a meter White, feed the fish when the fish are not grazing, irritability, and the emergence of fewer deaths.

"I thought it was a lack of oxygen, oxygen immediately to the fish, but not close to the fish aerator, scurrying around, and even jump out cages." Chenshi Wu said he immediately reported to the relevant departments, the night, anti-urban environmental protection, animal husbandry and aquaculture other departments came to the scene view the situation, and the next morning on the water and fish samples for testing. The next few days, Chenshi Wu and the other two reservoirs middle of farmers over 30 cages in the tens of thousands of tail grass carp, carp, tilapia, have died.

"Here we are far from a rare earth mine, we suspect that is where the effluent discharged from the poisoned our fish." Chenshi Wu said he had to rare earth mining area and found that flow out of the sewage color is beige, and These sewage without any treatment, discharged directly into canals and reservoirs connected.

For reasons of dead fish, Fangchenggang-City Aquatic Animal Husbandry and Veterinary Bureau responded that the sampling inspection by experts, preliminary determination small peak reservoir with dead fish incident was caused due to the outbreak of fish disease disaster events. The main reason is the grass carp hemorrhage induced by long-term feeding high-protein feed, or other low-quality feed, and the recent climate change causes such as the water temperature is too high.

When a reporter asked whether the incidence of fish associated with water pollution, the anti-urban fisheries technology extension Zhanfuzhanchang Lingzong Fu said, according to the current understanding of the situation, there is no way to determine whether the fish deaths related to water pollution. Anti-City Aquatic Animal Husbandry and Veterinary Bureau of the dead fish samples are sent to a more authoritative body for testing.

"Fangchenggang municipal environmental protection department of the reservoir of water for a number of sampling and monitoring, water quality data show a small peak various indicators have reached the surface water environmental quality class III standards, that water quality is not contaminated." Fangchenggang City urban environment Protection Bureau deputy director Jiang Wenwei said.

However, the reporter in Fangchenggang City Environmental Protection Bureau on August 12 a "small peak reservoir dead fish cages Investigation Report" to see such a statement: After investigation, the small peak around the reservoir without industrial and mining enterprises, mainly small peak reservoir pollution Field crops set a big house illegal exploitation of rare earth dens. The illegal exploitation dens disorderly discharge untreated wastewater directly into the small peak reservoir through canals, affecting small peak reservoir water quality.

For the conclusion of the fish died, farmers who do not agree. Farmers Chen said: "that is the grass carp hemorrhage, but why cages tilapia and carp also died of it? And we have given more than 2 pounds of elephant grass carp are put in long-term feeding with high protein feed or feed poor argument is not true. "

Under the guidance of the villagers, the reporter found hidden in the mountains of illegal rare earth mining sites. A creek next to the mining sites Bangshui built, the floor is marked with oxalic acid, ammonium sulfate, ammonium bicarbonate and other words of plastic bags.

"This place is flowing out of the water toxic, had previously put the fish ponds near the poisoned cattle drank the water, immediately sick." Pingmou nearby villagers told reporters that the illegal mining sites in existence for nearly three years, law enforcement agencies to combat several times, but they are re-started a few months later.

"Every time I arrived at the scene, all the staff are gone, and we can only be destroyed on-site facilities and so far, we do not know who is the organizer of the illegal mining of rare earths and the persons responsible." Fangchenggang City Land Resources Bureau Fangcheng Branch monitors battalion said exposing light vibration.

Development and application of rare earth Seventh International Symposium held in Ganzhou, Jiangxi. The conference is academic-based, and combined with the rare earth industry event, there were from Japan, Switzerland, 15 countries and regions, more than 360 experts, scholars and entrepreneurs to discuss the rare earth science and technology and industrial development and other issues.

In the academic field, experts around the rare earth mining geology, mining beneficiation, smelting separation, loops utilization and environmental protection, chemicals and rare earth permanent magnet, glow, catalysis, hydrogen storage, superconductivity, glass, ceramics, nano-materials and other international frontier question of the exchange; in the industrial field, the meeting invited well-known enterprises and sectoral advisory bodies do report on the development of rare earth industry status and trends in depth.

Chinese Academy of Engineering, China Rare Earth Industry Association, Gan Yong said at the meeting, the rare earth industry, market prospects in the new round of competition, in-depth academic research and scientific and technical support plays a key role. The International Rare Earth Conference held in Ganzhou has a special significance because ionic rare earth mine was originally discovered in Ganzhou, Ganzhou is the world's major heavy rare earth base.

Recently held its fifth Baotou Rare Earth Forum news, at present, China's rare earth permanent magnet materials production capacity 300,000 tons, annual output of 80,000 tons, less than 30% capacity utilization. China this year is expected to reach production of rare earth permanent magnet materials 94,300 tons.

According to reports, CCID Research Institute Yuan Kaihong raw material industries, said that although China's rare earth permanent magnet production ranked first in the world, but the market share of high-performance permanent magnet materials less than 10%. Even though many provinces have the resources and core technology, it has still a lot of construction NdFeB new projects, resulting in a more serious phenomenon of homogenization of vicious competition.

China Rare Earth Association, Gan Yong called around for prudent investment in low-level permanent magnet industry, should guide investment to the use of rare earth materials, components and end products transfer, or encourage new investment and joint venture financing of existing enterprises, to avoid blindly increasing capacity.

News that China rare earth neodymium companies ready to join forces against the United States prosecute Japan's Hitachi Metals NdFeB patent "unreasonable dominate" in order to obtain the right to life.

It is reported that if all goes well, the Chinese companies involved in the prosecution list will be finalized at the end of August, the related follow-up work will also be launched in September. In the rare earth export quotas because problems caused by the World Trade Organization (WTO) lawsuit "pending" on the occasion, which again from patent litigation is likely to lead to trade shocks.

Since Hitachi Metals NdFeB patent applications in the United States, so that only Chinese companies have patents authorized to export to the U.S. market. This reporter has learned that at present, China has more than 200 NdFeB production enterprises,

However, to obtain patents Hitachi Metals NdFeB enterprises only three rings, etc. 8, and Hitachi Metals has decided not to increase the authorized number of Chinese enterprises.

If she lost the lawsuit, meaning Hitachi Metals patent continuation in the next ten years may be longer, except to obtain patents for eight domestic enterprises, other enterprises NdFeB products have become illegal exports, only in domestic sales.

Organization Chinese rare earth enterprises sue Japanese companies Hitachi Metals, the initiator of the patent monopoly, Shenyang in the north, Magnetic Technology Co., Ltd. Chairman Bao-Yu Sun told reporters, related companies have held two special meetings, estimated there will be about 10 enterprises to participate litigation. "In September we will employ both domestic and foreign lawyers in charge of this case, we present the main companies in the domestic market, probably three or four million, if we can enter the international market, the market share is expected to rise to fifty-six one hundred million yuan , or even more. "

Advanced Technology for Rare analyst Chen believes that "winning is very difficult, depending on the extension of patent applications in Japan are in line with international practice. Northwest China where most of the enterprises mainly rely on low labor costs and other resources, product quality and quality are more low, if you have been dependent on the international market, will always be controlled by others, after all, not a long-term trail. "

Chen made that "if the lawsuit fails, most of the domestic enterprises will exit the international market NdFeB, patented by the small businesses instead. NdFeB domestic market, which will lead to re-shuffle, re-distribution pattern. Who able to span the end, who will win the domestic cost of production companies tend to break the impasse, it is difficult to overcome the difficulties of producing patent. "

Investment Advisor in the metallurgical industry researcher Weiqi Ning believes that the major rare earth enterprises jointly sued Hitachi Metals practices worthy of recognition, but for now, remains to be seen whether in favor of the U.S. laws and regulations will determine the ultimate outcome.

Order Bao-Yu Sun felt a glimmer of hope that, after, Hitachi Metals in the United States launched the "337" survey, involving regular sea Magnets, etc. 3 Chinese companies, and ultimately, this three companies reached a settlement with Hitachi Metals and obtain the latter's NdFeB patent authorization. "We have about 10 companies, is still very hopeful of winning the lawsuit in Japan last one core technology patents expire in 2014, some of the remaining patent is about production methods, the basic core of a patent is not strong . "he said.

Despite the recent sharp rise in rare earth prices, but it is only short-term performance, the downstream demand is what determines whether the price of rare earth showing steady growth of the main factors. When the manufacturing weak downstream demand short time is difficult rapid growth recovery in the case, national policy continuity is crucial. If the relevant policy or campaign continues, rare earth prices likely will continue to be steady for some time.

Recently, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, Ministry of Public Security, Ministry of Land and other eight departments jointly launched to combat rare earth mining, production, circulation of illegal special action officially started. So far, the industry has long been popular rare earth "hitting" action finally landed. Previously, rare earth prices have already heard this rise, rare earth industry seems to usher in a good, but industry insiders said rare earth industry, how the situation in the future, depends on whether there is strong support for the downstream market, the continuity of good policy and policy implementation efforts.

Heard good news rare earth prices rise

After a sharp decline after 2011, rare earth prices have been at low levels. However, the recent rare earth market has finally ushered in a fiery. Beginning from July 2013, rare earth prices generally rise, which praseodymium neodymium, dysprosium, terbium, europium and other basic products prices rose 30% -40%, dysprosium oxide and up to 75 percent of the increase.

The industry believes that the current round of price increases and the current national efforts to rectify the rare earth industry in combating private mine closely associated. It is reported that in mid-June this year, Ganzhou mine inspection bureau organizations, private local rare earth mine conducted a comprehensive blow. Subsequently, Ganzhou forestry sector also carried out actions against exploitation of rare earth occupation of forest land. Affected by the strong share price performance rare earth permanent magnet plate, which since July Minmetals Rare Earth stock has risen 50.27%, Sheng and resource shares are up 58.91%.

This year August 15 to November 15, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, Ministry of Public Security, Ministry of Land and other eight departments join forces in the fight against rare earth mining, production, circulation of illegal special action. Focused on investigating illegal poaching, exploration and exploitation of undocumented illegal; ban illegal mining (recycling) mines, minerals and confiscate the illegal income, and will be punished; clean up illegal construction projects in the recovery of rare earth resources, conduct, did not seek recycling behavior of rare earth resources, and immediately ordered to stop production rectification.

The industry believes that these policies may continue to promote earth floor prices. Wikipedia information analyst Du Shuai soldiers said, after many parts of the domestic private mine has started action against rare, the recent focus of national policy is to combat illegal exploitation of rare earth, want to control the extraction from the source to enhance the rare earth industry's overall profit. "In recent years the phenomenon of repeated Luancai private dug earth, because no environmental costs of illegal miners, with ultra low sales a tremendous impact on the market, but also a serious squeeze the living space of informal enterprises, therefore, thorough investigation of the overall fight against private mining speaking will push up the overall price of rare earth industry. "

It is reported that the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology and other eight departments in the fight against illegal acts of rare earth during the special action, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology will most likely introduce relevant regulations, promote the formation of rare earth industry to further regulate long-term mechanism. Zhuo record information analyst Bei Zhang said that if this series of policies to effectively continue implementing it, will help stabilize the rare earth market, curb speculation behavior, the formation of a fair, open and equitable prices of rare earth products.

In addition to short-term speculation suspects prices is difficult not optimistic

Du Shuai Bing, currently rare earth industry is in the traditional sense of the off-season, and the NdFeB permanent magnet materials, luminescent materials, rare earth hydrogen storage materials and other major developments in the industry downstream applications poor, weak demand. The major listed companies in rare mid-year financial report also proved this point. Heng Industrial Co., Ltd. Jiangmen Bureau released 2013 half year results notice, the first half, net profit attributable to shareholders of listed companies fell 85.54% over the previous year -95.18%. Xiamen Tungsten released semi-annual report, net profit attributable to shareholders of listed companies to 71.1757 million yuan, down 77.69%, which continues to slump in the first half of rare earth products, sales prices and sales volume fell sharply, leading to affiliated companies in Fujian Province changting Jinlong Rare Earth Co., Ltd. due to operating losses and provision for inventory losses of 109 million yuan to prepare. In addition, Taiyuangangyu, Keheng shares JPMF number of listed companies have announced in the first half net profit fell.

Some experts said that despite the recent sharp rise in rare earth prices, but it is only short-term performance, the latter is not optimistic about rare earths market. Reason is that the recent rise in rare earth prices, mainly due to the state in addition to the illegal exploitation of rare earth smelting products to combat intensified, so that separation of the illegal exploitation of mineral and smelting companies have discontinued the illegal supply of a significant reduction of rare earth products, it also exists as speculation , took the opportunity to lift the price of rare earth products may not lower the real demand pull.

Du Shuai Bing said: "Rare earth is not a formal market-oriented industries, small plate, easy to hype it like metal, prices may rise and supply changes, the supply of rare earth industry, even if the product is large, as long as there trader speculation, the price can be fired up. "

In addition, Bei Zhang also said that the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology to carry out remediation after news of rare earth, some sellers worry about the future of rare earth rare earth supply, stockpile appear reluctant to sell, resulting in a rapid rebound in the short term prices.

Rare earth prices go, first decide on the downstream demand. Du Shuaibing analysis, in the long run, enabling national policies to stimulate return to reasonable prices of rare earth products to enhance the industry profits. But in the short term, weak downstream demand of rare earth, rare earth prices rose too fast and if the downstream applications will play a certain rejection. Therefore, the market is not optimistic about the latter part of rare earths.

The healthy development of the industry need to look at policy enforcement

In addition to prices return to reasonable outside the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology in the fight against illegal rare earths will also conduct special operations to eliminate unhealthy competition in the entire industry, the formation of a large group of rare earth has played a certain role.

Turning to the current state of development of rare earth industry, Bei Zhang said: "The separation of rare earth smelting industry serious excess capacity." Du Shuai soldiers also believes that, in recent years, many rare earth smelting separation plant respond to national call, has been integrated into a large group, but Overall, the rare earth smelting separation plant products supply is still very large. According to him, the state gives the rare earth smelting and separation indexes and market demand considerable, but the separation of rare earth smelting plant capacity is very large, while the state allocated to the production of rare earth smelting separation plant with production capacity falls far short of targets, rare earth smelting separation plant poor survival situation. Therefore, to ensure the interests of rare earth smelting separation plant selection desperate, looking to make up their own private ore production capacity of waste. This will lead to private dug Luancai repeated, the supply of rare earth smelting and separation products increased.

Meanwhile, the rare earth industry concentration is low, many enterprises, but the lack of core competitiveness of large enterprises, industry self-regulation is poor, there is a certain degree of vicious competition. Xiamen University, China Energy Economic Research Center Lin Boqiang that the immediate importance of the prompt implementation of the rare earth industry consolidation. Through the integration of rare earth industry to inhibit disorderly exit, eliminating self vicious competition purposes to ensure efficient implementation of the rare earth resources strategy.

With the national anti-mine efforts to increase private and private dug Luancai and illegal conduct rare earth smelting separation phenomenon will be effective governance, and was recognized by the State of rare earth smelting separation plant to continue to develop, we must close the large group. This will further accelerate the industry consolidation, increased industrial concentration.

For the rare earth industry development of the next, Du Shuai Bing said, depends on the continuity of the relevant favorable policies and government enforcement. Because the downstream demand is to determine whether the price of rare earth showed steady growth of important factors, but the current domestic and international economic environment, manufacturing weak downstream demand in a short time is difficult to rapid growth recovery. In this case, the continuity of national policy is essential. If the relevant policy or campaign continues, avoid sports-style action, then there may be rare earth prices will continue to stabilize over time; if the enforcement of the national policy to relax, then do not rule out a new rare-earth prices will likely continue to decline in a market.

It is learned that in order to solve the problem of rare earth industry, weak downstream demand, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology is preparing to promote downstream applications of rare earth market policies to reverse the current decline of rare earth industry. In mid-July of this year, China Rare Earth Industry Association in China Academy of Engineering organized the overall development and application of rare earth resources strategic planning seminars, China Rare Earth Industry Association Deputy Secretary-General Chen Zhanheng introduced the "rare earth resources and the application of the overall strategic development plan," the drafting of outline . The industry believes that, once the "overall development of rare earth resources and the application of strategic planning," released during the year, the whole environment for the survival of rare earth industry, or are expected to reverse.

Since August 15, 2013 from the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, Ministry of Public Security, Ministry of Land Resources, Ministry of Environmental Protection, General Administration of Customs, State Administration of Taxation, the State Administration for Industry and Commerce, the State Administration of Production Safety Supervision and other eight departments will jointly the fight against illegal rare earth industry special action.

MIIT said the focus involves special action to combat illegal exploitation of rare earth behavior, rectifying behavior illegal production, circulation combat illegal activities, clean up waste products recycling and comprehensive utilization of rare earth enterprises, against black interests of the chain, check the earth to implement the regulatory responsibility and so on.

Time to carry out special operations, 2013 August 15 to November 15, divided into three phases, August 15-September 30 provinces (autonomous regions and municipalities) self-examination, September 30-October 25 joint inspection department, October 25 to November 15 for rectification work summary.

MIIT said the news media give full play to the supervisory role of public opinion and will be in front of a typical propaganda and popularization of advanced experience while proactive notification and illegal exposure of typical cases.

Currently, China is the world's largest producer and exporter of rare earth resources, production accounts for about 95 percent of global output. Recently, the Ministry of raw materials Industry Secretary Chen Yanhai in the "2013 Rare Earth Forum", from 2011 to 2012, the Ministry has twice carried the rare earth industry production order special political activities were investigated illegal exploration and mining activities in more than 600 onwards, destroyed illegal mining point 14, approximately 90 mines and raw material supply business was suspended for rectification, investigated 14 cases of smuggling, confiscating more than 2,600 tons of rare earth, worth 440 million yuan.
